Benson Amps Nathan Junior Reverb Combo - Aged Tweed Cover with  Oxblood Grill Cloth

The Benson Nathan Junior Reverb Combo: Small Size, Big Sound

The Benson Nathan Junior Reverb Combo is a compact yet powerful amp designed for musicians who need portability without sacrificing tone. Inspired by Benson's longtime demo guitarist and Portland indie rock veteran, Nathan Junior, this amp offers 5 watts of pure tube-driven sound that’s perfect for recording sessions or small gigs. Built with high-quality domestic components, the Nathan Junior delivers a surprisingly large sound for its size, and a portion of every sale supports Musical Independence, a non-profit organization that brings music lessons to people of all walks of life in Independence, Oregon. This model comes with an Aged Tweed Cover with an Oxblood grille cloth. 

Classic Tube Tone in a Compact Package

At the heart of the Nathan Junior is a JJ 6V6 power tube paired with a 12AX7 and 12DW7, delivering 5 watts of all-tube power. This combination provides the warmth and rich tonal character that tube amps are known for, making it ideal for musicians who want studio-quality sound in a small, portable amp. Despite its compact size, the Nathan Junior punches well above its weight, offering impressive volume and depth for its wattage.

Built for Versatility and Ease of Use

The Nathan Junior is equipped with simple, intuitive controls for Volume, Treble, Bass, and Reverb, giving you full control over your tone. Its single 8-ohm speaker output drives a 10-inch Celestion Greenback speaker, known for its balanced, vintage tone. Whether you’re using the amp for recording or small gigs, the Nathan Junior delivers clear, articulate sound with a rich, warm reverb.

Handcrafted Build for Superior Quality

The Nathan Junior is built with the same attention to detail that Benson Amps is known for. The amp features point-to-point construction on terminal strips, ensuring durability and reliability over time. Instead of using traditional circuit boards, Benson relies on Mallory 150 capacitors and a Baltic Birch speaker cabinet, which contribute to the amp's exceptional sound quality and robust build. This handcrafted approach ensures that each amp is built to last and perform at the highest level.
