Monoprice 5-Watt Guitar Tube Combo Amp

Quick Product Breakdown

This guitar amplifier features a 5-watt tube power amplifier and a Celestion brand speaker. It uses an ECC83/12AX7 preamp tube and a 6V6GT power tube for excellent sound quality. The amplifier includes a Celestion Super 8 GBA-15 speaker.

It handles frequencies from 80Hz to 10kHz, with hum and noise levels reduced by -75dB below the rated power. Total harmonic distortion is kept at a low 0.5%.

There are two inputs: a Low input that attenuates the signal by about 50%, and a High input that is easier to overdrive.

While the subjective nature of tone preferences varies, the tube's increased dynamic range and even-order harmonic distortion contribute to a richer sound.
