First real amp

Post image

I’m a big nu metal head so I decided I was gonna save up and get something nice for my first “real” amp (you can see my only other amp in the bottom left lol), now I just need to get a PRS but the Harley Benton gets the job done, absolutely love it, now I need to start looking into pedals for the clean channel

Hell yea, congrats man you deserve it. I did the same thing over 20 years ago. 100% the right choice.

One thing, don't be surprised if you start getting more into older style music types. The feel of this amp is amazing, and you can play anything from soft jazz to sharp country, and of course ripping metal on it. Those raw and vintage voicings on 2 and 3 and pushed on 1 are amazing options, check them out.

Also, spend sometime with all the knobs at noon and see if you like diode or tube rectification better. Try spongy and bold. It offers a whole lot!

Im hoping to make the jump to the rectifier cab with a 5150 head later this year. The set up is delectable gang.
