Harley Benton G112A-FR

If you own a modeller, this is the amp to have. Try this before spending more money on expensive brand crap. It is supposed to be FRFR, so it does just that; no colouring, no anything, just the clean amplification of the modeller. The tone controls are highly efficient, be careful at gigs as they have a wide range, I keep them flat most of the time depending on the room. I had an issue with the shipping and the EU lead sent to the UK not working through and adapter. I found out it was the adapter so luckily I had an extra UK kettle lead laying around and no further issues so far. It is loud as hell, usually I keep it at 12:00 at gigs, controlling the volume mostly from the guitar, I'm old school; if you set the modeller correctly and have nice IRs (York Audio for example) the tone and feel are pretty much the same as a real amp, the Harley Benton just helps with the thumping. I can get Scott Henderson tone and gain in one setting from sparkly clean to screaming lead without changing presets just tweaking vol and tone pots. I could not believe before that you could do this with modellers. The modellers is the Ampero II Stage, also bought from this lot. My expensive heavy amps/cabs ( 30-45 kgs) now collect dust. This thing weights 15kgs. Now I'm exploring stereo, so either adding another one or get the 212, which is a lot heavier, we'll see.

This thing gets LOUD. After that, you can turn it down and not disturb the neighbors (much ... ha ha). Not too heavy. Doesn't take up too much room. Paired with my Helix Floor it makes all the sounds I enjoy and probably more than I'll find before I'm too old to play anymore. The Presence knob is a major bonus. Took more than a little while for Thomann to ship. But, it was definitely worth the wait.
