I'm a little out of focus today... BUT I FEEL FINE!

Uff, Seems like you found the 4 dimension of our Tube15.😂

The amp actually sounded great by itself. I think I liked that lower gain tone more.

I love that Chug is now a unit of measure. The equation is simple, X + Chug pedal = Chug

This amp rocks! I have been using it for almost a year now and it still amazes me. I have it hooked up with a Harley Benton 212 speaker cab with 2 x 12" Celestion V30, it sounds awesome, it's the ideal combination and it's really really affordable, a lot of bang for the buck. I have a bunch of different pedals in front of it and a handful through the FX loop. Most of the time I use 1 basic setting for the amp but I also like to play with settings, no matter what, this thing makes everything sound great, no kidding. Some people laugh when they first see me with a Gibson Flying V or Explorer and then find out what amp i am using, I think they are just snobs. F**k em and rock on!!

This segment has become pretty reliable. Thank you Ola for doing this for us.

FYI if you're in the United States, Monoprice sells an IDENTICAL amp. Same manufacuter. While I can't confirm their guitars are built by the same company, Harley Benton and Monoprice (Stage Right brand name) are 100% identical except for obvious voltage for it's specified country.

Seems like a darn good Amp for what it is. Would've liked to see an OD in front before you went to the chug pedal

Man, I think it often goes without saying, but Ola is a really good guitar player -- those riffs he pulls out are savage!

So glad someone finally tried to chug with this amp and put the results out there. Thanks!

imagine a solar tube amp. now that would be sick.

Mine arrived today. Love this little tube amp, especially for the price. Well done Harley Benton Thomann !

Literally revolve around these videos, so so good.

Man my 10w beginner amp has been given a new lease of life since my Chug arrived. Sounds so good when paired with a crappy amp!

HB is constantly impressing me with their price to performance

For a tiny practice amp, it pulls it's weight very well it seems... maybe not the earth shattering chug, but certainly very usable!

Great work Ola, that was an awesome demo man and it's great for what it is 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

For what it is, it's not bad at all. I don't know about chuggability, but the tones ain't bad. Nice one Ola! 🤘

As soon as you turned up the volume with that pedal engaged my ears immediately perked up. That sounded killer. 🤘🤘🤘

Chug pedal will make any amp sound like it chugs. Such a badass pedal!! Thinking about getting another one.

I've been on the edge of buying one of these.. You just finalized my mind, I'm getting one..

Ola, thank you for all your videos, and especially for this review! I use this inexpensive tube combo amplifier at home. There were skeptical doubts and unfriendly reproaches of envious people. But you opened my eyes! I especially liked it. Your miracle pedal! The combo opens. I'm from Russia, politics has nothing to do with it. I respect your channel, and I am looking forward to new shows with pleasure, so that I can press the little bell and finger _ only up.(Sorry for the translation. At school, I learned a foreign language (English) only on 3 out of 5.)

Oh My! That metal sound is so clean and badass this amp is super impressive af

I have this amp. While I'm not in a band that needs it to chug, this thing rocks.

OK I own the Monoprice version of this amp and here are a few things i did to mine (to make it chug) Install shielding tape inside cab where amp chassis goes. $3 Replace reverb cables with shielded $3 Adjust the bias (test point 10.5v) stock its around 7.5v going by test point. $0 Replace reverb pan with 3 spring MOD pan $25 Installed 6p14p-ev power tubes ($40) 6n2p preamp tubes in V1 and V2 (using 6n2 to 12ax7 adaptor) $25 RCA 12at7 in V3 $15 Replace stock speaker with Electro Harmonix 12ts8 $35 After doing this ive found the amp to be quite nice. But stock the amp was a mixed bag. Theres def not much headroom on this amp, theres a way of changing whats going on with the input to get some more clean headroom. With a TS9 and my Les Paul i can nail some crazy nice leads. You can hear the JCM800. You have to remember this amp is based on a Laney Cub 12 and that amp is based on the Marshall 2203 or 04. This just uses EL84 output tubes. I would def recommend trying out both 6n2p preamp tubes and 6p14p power tubes. They put to shame the current production tubes and dont cost an arm and a leg. The reverb circuit is never gonna be amazing in this amp, but the MOD reverb tank def helped. Also the terrible rca wires for the reverb were very prone to picking up noises. Also if your amp seems noisy, there is a hum pot inside the amp that may need to be adjusted. The stock speaker is garbage (i dont care what name is on it). I replaced mine with a Electro Harmonix speaker built by Eminence. These are killer speakers for jack shit cost. There was a NIGHT and day difference with the 2 speakers. I allowed time for both speakers to wear in a bit. 20 hours is my usual before deciding which. The 70/80 does everything but nothing at the same time. For $35 shipped the EHX 12ts8 speaker made this amp sing. Make sure your amp is biases correctly. These come biased at 7.5v and this amp needs to be at more along the lines of 10.5v or so. If your expecting this amp to do Fender tones, not really gonna happen. Unless you get what a few people have gotten and I bought just for this amp. Joyo American pedal. Its like a blackface/tweed preamp in a pedal. This added that Fender tone i think a lot of people were missing. This pedal can be used in the fx loop or in front. But i just wanted to make sure i passed that on to folks as a cheap option to possibly get that tone you were not getting. There are better pedals that do this thing, but you can find one of these for $25 on a good day. Hope i could be helpful and thanks for the video :-)

Looove the CHUG videos! Would love to see one on the Mesa Badlander 25 combo! Thanks Ola!

I have one like this. I added an LPad attenuator I made myself and now it rocks at bedroom sound level. Awesome amp.

I hate when people say not enough to play a live show, like youre not gonna mic it up. You could play a travel battery amp and mic it close and be able to mix it but thats just me I've actually been waiting for this specific review lol great video!

I'm pleasantly surprised this amp sounds really freaking good. I've seen a few others talk about this being a cheap way into a tube amp. I may have to get one now.

Ola has created his own Harley Denton guitar

Great sounding 15 watt amp!!! I’m DEFINITELY going to pick one up. I’ve listened to A LOT of smaller amps but, none have sounded as good as that Harley Benton, for me. Thanks for the review! For that dent that your chug box made in the guitar’s body…Take a damp washrag put it over the dent that’s in the wood and take a clothes iron on medium setting place it on the rag over the dent for 10-15 seconds it will swell in the dent. Nitrocellulose lacquer is breathable but be careful not to heat the finish up too much or you can pop it off. Positive Vibrations…

The speaker being pushed combined with that pedal had me head banging like crazy. Easily one of the heaviest nastiest tones I've heard on this series.

They still do sell the cabs with celestions as well! I think it's a great thing that they're doing because their amps are a big steal.

That noise at 6:46 levelled me. Every time we have too many cables and such 😆 🤣 😂

Been waiting for this one.

Harley Benton very often pleasantly suprises. This amp is recieved very positive. And no doubt tons better then my standard 40watt HB practice amp. I love their guitars too. For learning so i can at some point justify getting an awesome Solar.

What more could you ask for at that price point? Im kind of impressed honestly

Didn't change much, looks like it's really the volume that will put it to chug hehe

Didn't expect that!!!

Been waiting for this one

I love your "Will It Chug" videos man🤘🤘 I'm your big fan from Philippines

These are actually Monoprice Stage Right amps just re branded as Harley Benton...Had mine over a year and it rocks..was only about 250 bucks , well worth it.

The last one goddd! I didnt expected that sound

Looks like a perfect jazz guitar amp!

That amp is identical to the monoprice 15 watt amp. Great little practice amps.

"...aaand it's a B-Stock!" had me laughing hard! Great humour on this channel, although I am not a metal fan in any way, I'll always stop by and hear some wise words from Ola

Boosting the volume might have made it (at least closer to) chug!

Use the effects loop for modulations like Delays and Chrous, but plug your stomp boxes and fuzz right into your main chain.

Have one of these. Love it.

I ordered one of these a couple months ago, and for the money ($400 CAD shipped) this thing is an absolute monster. Even on 1W, bedroom volume cant even get to THREE without blowing the roommates out. i think you could definitely jam/ rehearse with drums on this thing easily. i used to play on a 110W behringer modeling amp, and the HB is 10x louder. All tube baby! not to mention, hooking it up to my peddle board takes it to a whole nutha level. the ONLY heavy caveat is you need to buy a voltage converter to operate it in north America (120V-240V) they're about $60

Try the pedal inside the eff loop, but going into amp input. It's a great way of shaping the tone before iz goes into the pedal. Sounds cool.

The pre amp is basically a JCM800 clone (the amp itself is a Laney Cub clone...er, actual Cub from same factory in different enclosure). Hence, an SD-1 into the front, with gain up on amp, is, well, the 80's style chug. I have the Monoprice version. It gets 90% of my practice minutes. (over a Mesa and JC SLO clone)

I would have liked to hear the amp after it was warmed up, with the pre and post cranked.

Damn. This amp may not chug but it's clean AF even at max gain and volume...nice!

I have this combo and I am satisfied with the metal muff pedal

I have one and it’s great. The reverb should be upgraded. It’s just not as wet as it should be. Other than that it’s a beast for a practice amp. If your playing a garage show it’s plenty loud. Great home amp. I found that it delivered enough metal to play anything thrash but when I added pedals it really gets nasty while still maintaining clarity.

Damn that HB sounds better than my Bugera V22 with a metal muff in the front of it. Curious to hear how it sounds with just and overdrive in front. I know my DSL20 combo with a tube screamer mini in the front really fucking rips. Awesome demo as always Ola.

Love the pick spike maxed out the chug meter 🤣

Man oh man I love that guitar

First time here. Sounds good to me for a first amp.

Really nice setup and tone. Listening in my BMW, I think you nailed a tone on the holy grail level. People spend more money and more time in the studio and can’t touch this. Btw can I please purchase this guitar you scratched as a collector piece?

this is pretty cool! could you make one abt the harley benton 4x12 with the v30s?

That shit sounded pretty beautiful. I liked it before the Chug pedal. Thanks for what you do. Will be buying merch soon as well as a Solar V!

Awesome!

When you connect through the fx loop the amp is in 1w mode and the buttom does not work, but if you connect a plug in the in guitar the buttom now works and you can use the 15w

"B STOCK," omg I was HOWLING with laughter!!! 🤘😂🎸🔊

Amazing that's what I whant, a good clean plataform t help me on recording. Many thanks, keep going \m/

Fuzz bender. Will it chug?

Chugging is a way of playing. Any amp, basically, will do, as long as you play the right way. And Ola does that in spades. Heavy riffs stay heavy, no matter what amplification you use. Aside from that: thát is a really nice sounding amp!!! 🤘😎🤘

What happens if you max the output? Should give some additional power amp distortion

Love the DNR riff! 🤘🤘

Personally I've got enough amps, but checked the pre-shipping price on the HB Tube 15 and it looks pretty affordable! If you're looking for a first/second amp this is a good option to consider :)

Thanks for the review, just wondering did you consider adjusting the tone controls. Seemed like you messed with the gain and volume but left the tone controls in one spot.

Boy, these vids are so fkn funny!!! yeah, you can do a big show with it, mic/monitors. I bought mine a couple years ago from monoprice. $249

Really cool I always wonder 🤔 how does it feel to play a fanned fret.

Hell ya i been curious about them insert DOMINATION break down riff and goo..

Love small tube amps:)

For the price this amp is very good : spring reverb (you can use it with a footswitch), all tubes, an effects loop, and a Celestion 80 ! One regret: I would have liked to hear the amp in the Mesa Cab !!! This Celestion 80 speaker is not the best... Thanks Ola for this video !

This is always good time and great info!!! HelllllllllllllllYeaaaaaaahhhhhhh Getcha Pull 🥃-CHEERS 🍻🤘🏿😎👹🤘🏿

That amp has been made by Monoprice and sold as a Stage Right amp for several years. I have one I have played rthe shit out of for thw past 2 yrs without a single problem. I get chug out of mine with 6 or 7 gain and 5 or 6 volume and everything else about noon. Seems like once the volume get to 5 or 6 it really awakens the beast in them. Mine was loaded with JJs and the 70/80 celestion and sounds really good and excepts pedals well. I have to travel 400 miles to work and its perfect for a in the middle of no-where and if it got stolen I would be out a lot of money. I really like the one I have. It is supposedly a Laney Cub board and electronics. I have a music room with several up to 75W amps but end up playing the Monoprice/bentley way more than the others. It has been very dependable and I crank it to metal and chug for hours at a time. Seems like any decent overdrive will get it chuggin and lower volume and gain settings. Anyways, thanks for the great review on the more affordable items. Sure makes me feel better on my purchase. Keep on Chuggin David

With the chugg pedal?! Holy crap that's amazing tone for the price.

Ola Ola, could you please find Mouse practice amplifier, which Dime use for his early lesson in 1983 while working in guitar shop and giving lessons(which was recorded on tape). It would be interesting to hear "will it chug?" :D

Finally you review it, the Monopri....Harley benton tube 15!

That chug pedal sick!!!

Hey Ola! I don't know if you'll see this comment but it'd be great to see you do a will it chug on the Harley Benton HB-40r.

Idk about the amp but just ordered the chug pedal and really looking forward to that 😁

if I didn't already have a laney ti-15 to play at home I'd buy this one after this "will it chug?" fucking hell! badass!!

That chug meter is awesome!

what model is that solar? It would be killer to tune once in a while Ola

Can you also test the mighty 15th with some cheap distortion pedals? For example the ehx metal muff top boost

Hi Ola good sounding amp but what does it sound like with a higher master volume setting? From what I see in this video you never really turned up the master (with the exception of in the beginning when it was almost 50%) C'mon let the amp roar (I hope it does). Have a great day!

Cool! That weekend i was at Thomann in germany/Treppendorf and in the Amp Room they have everything but i did not see any Harley Benton amps .

your Chug pedal is great with it. I'll take that dented Solar if you sign it haha!!

That’s the first Time I noticed The chug meter that’s fucking awesome bro 🤘

WOW! Cool little amp with the chug holy fuck! Yeah it chugs badass man cool vid!

Makes me wanna get a CHUg pedal!!!

I love my Chug pedal.

NICE!

That looks almost identical to the Stage Right by Monoprice 15 watt 1x12 combo. Same OEM?

I put on my 'will it chug' shirt today and ten seconds later I see this video. 🤣🤘
