Benson Vinny Reverb Combo

Vincent's cheeky little brother... with reverb!

Benson released this amp ahead of schedule to be a ray of sunshine in the lockdown. This fun combo is perfect for rocking out at home without getting into a fight with the neighbors. Benson took their beloved Vinny circuit and added a tone control, reverb (taken from Benson's Tall Bird) and tube-controlled power scaling.

Benson's incredible amplifiers are built in the United States (in Portland, to be specific). Benson focuses entirely on hand-building high-quality amplifiers that give you a completely unique sound that can act as your personal canvas. The circuits that Christopher Benson and his team make are original, but make use of the more than 70 years of amplifier history that is now available. Based on this knowledge, the components are carefully selected so that the very best quality and tone are guaranteed. What sets Benson amplifiers apart in particular is their incredibly rich, grand and tasteful clean tone with an enormous dynamic range. The sound is packed with musical overtones and with your touch you can achieve very nice compression or even overdrive.
