Description

Assembled in Portland, Oregon, the Benson Amps Vinny Reverb represents a refined approach to low-wattage tube amplification. Featuring a upgraded version of Benson's Vinny amp circuit, this design incorporates a tone control, tube-driven power scaling, and a Tall Bird inspired spring reverb. Thanks to the single JJ 6V6 tube-driven power scaling, articulate saggy edge of breakup tones are now accessible while keeping the volume down. This feature can easily be rolled back to offer a cleaner, pedal friendly platform instead.

The Vinny receives its voice through its all tube preamp and power amp sections and high quality components such as Mallory 150 capacitors and custom triad power and output transformers. From there, the 10-inch Celestion Greenback speaker housed inside the sturdy Baltic birch cabinet provides a warm, responsive mid-range punch that pairs wonderfully with this amp.

Featuring a sonic blue tolex and wheat grill, this Vinny Reverb sure looks as good as it sounds.
