Members ArrMatey Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 never tried any of that stuff but where is it manufactured? The amp is kinda like a valve junior, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 The Harley Benton GA5 is the pretty much same as an Epi Valve Junior. From the same factory, just a different badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say I don't think they 'make thier own' it's just re-badged stuff...epiphone, squier or whatever. The Harley Benton pedals I've seen labeled as several other cheapo brands. I suspect some of it is pretty decent, other stuff not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 Oh no, I wouldn't care. There's a UK giy on ebay who mods those Harley benton GA5s to make them awesome. He uses them because he can get them cheaper than the Epi and there's no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArrMatey Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 save for a blackheart. Seriously, best amp for home I think. I'd love to get my hands on the 15w version for smaller rock gigs. Takes pedals very well and breaks up nicely on the 5w mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hate to be that guy who only ever recommends the stuff he's got, but I honestly can't recommend the Laney LC15R highly enough. It's really seriously great, and has some good features (extention speaker output, footswitchable reverb, effects loop). I play mine at home all the time and 15 watts is by no means too loud even for a 3am solo jam, but it's insanely loud for 15 watts and a single 10" speaker when it needs to be. Mine cut through a full band jam with ease, and I was competing with a 50 watt 2x12 all valve Marshall JMP combo, a Fender Rocpro700 solid state combo (i think that's what it was called), a Laney 250 watt 1x15" combo and a heavy handed drummer. As a matter of fact, I had easily the best tone of the 3 guitarists there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 Just make sure you steer well clear of the 'Hardcore' series. Well {censored}. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArrMatey Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 Laney are really good indeed. They never got the fame of Marshall but their LC and VC series are really good, the look is a bit iffy which is probably why it isn't the most favoured amps.

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 I like them The chrome panels and chickenhead knobs look classier than dull gold and knobs that break, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Matt0201 Posted February 20, 2008 Members Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've got one of the 335 VRs and its a good guitar for the price but I don't find myself playing it much, I always grab my tele I keep telling my self I'm going have it set up and ect but never get around to it.
