In via trade! This Benson Vinny Reverb, or ‘Vinny Verb’, is a great 5-watt combo amp. It’s quite reminiscent of a Fender Champ, but with more fleshed out features, a 10 inch speaker, and additional tones available. This little guy can get some great tube tones, and with the ability to scale back to ¼ a watt, there is a plethora of volumes and voicings you can achieve. To top it off, this thing is in excellent shape, and looking sharp in tweed!

From Benson:

People have asked us for a few years now to make a Vinny Combo.  We listened, and then some.  We took the basic beloved Vinny circuit, and we added a tone control, Tall Bird style spring reverb, and power scaling which is uniquely driven by a tube, not a silicon MOSFET!  Perfect for rocking out without getting evicted.
