Is this a Peavey Classic 30 in all but name ? - seems pretty good value

They sound decent too!

There's a lot of Harley Benton about on the forum today!

The German guy who did the strat comparison vid did a demo of one of these. Seemed to like it, too.

It's like you guys can read minds! Been looking at this recently, anyone got one that they can comment on?

I don't have the HB but I got the Bugera V22 from Thomann for the same price, and it's also an awesome amp. The cleans are incredible and the drive channel is also very convincing for classic/hard rock. Plus it has the added benefit of a presence control over the HB.

Red?

Sorry but that looks cheap and tacky.

Sounds decent in this vid, but bear in mind he's paid by Thomann to say nice things about this amp, it's being recorded and EQ'd using highly expensive outboard gear (check the price of that pre-amp he mentions) and you're then listening via YouTube compression...

I'd like to see how it sounds in a room with a drummer and the rest of a loud band.

Yeah I agree the red is awful, but the black isn't too shabby... http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_vt_30_bk.htm I never trust YouTube clips with gear, so was hoping someone on here had took the plunge and purchased one to give an honest opinion on them.

A little too much in fact. It's like going on a car enthusiast forum and discussing Kia.

 I want to see exotica I can't afford.
