## Description

Get superior guitar tone in a small package using this 5-Watt 1x8 Guitar Combo Tube Amplifier with Celestion Speaker from Monoprice! As the title indicates, this guitar amplifier features a 5-watt tube power amplifier and a Celestion brand speaker. It uses a ECC83/12AX7 preamplification tube and a 6V6GT power tube for the amplifier section, plus a Celestion Super 8 GBA-15 speaker. The amplifier handles frequencies between 80Hz and 10kHz, with hum and noise -75dB below the rated power and 0.5% total harmonic distortion. It includes a Low input and a High input, with the former attenuating the signal by approximately 50% and the latter being easier to overdrive. The cabinet is ported in the rear and features a leather handle, cloth speaker grill, and a cream-colored, textured, synthetic leather exterior with chrome corner guards.

Review: Great value - This is a great little amp. I love how it sounds. The largest problem is that it is to loud for an Apt building. Even on the 1 watt setting your neighbors will hear you if you turn it up more than half way.
Review: Killer Little Tube Amp That Will Really Surprise You!!! - I've been looking for a low watt practice amp that was inexpensive and "all tube", not a hybrid or solid state junk box. The idea was to run my pedalboard thru it to get tones set on all my effects to give me a good idea of what things would sound like when I'm out preforming live with my much larger and louder 30 watt tube amp. After quite a bit of searching, listening to demos, and reading reviews I kept coming back to this little Monoprice 5 watt tube amp. I found a sale price here and grabbed it thinking that If I didn't like it I could easily sell it for what I paid. Fast forward to now and I can honestly say I think this is the best bargain on a low powered small tube amp out there right now! I thought I'd be using it at 5 watts but it was a lot louder than I expected it to be so having the option to run it at 1 watt (still a lot louder than I thought it would be!) was ideal for my next door neighbors who don't appreciate screaming electric guitar power chords and guitar solos after dinnertime the same way I do! Playing clean thru this amp my guitars sound warm and full of sparkle and cranked up it just breaks up in the best way! Sweet sustaining notes and thundering chords just fall out of this thing!!! Kicking on pedals its even better! If you've been looking around and are on the fence about grabbing this Monoprice 5 watt amp trust me I've been there. No regrets here, in fact at the 5 watt setting its easily loud enough to take it with me to rehearsal with Bass Player and Drummer and if I need more thump I can run it thru a 1x12 speaker cab via the "external speaker out" on the back of the amp. How cool is that? Don't know about how it will hold up over a few years but tubes are easy to replace and at the price this amp is a keeper!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone changed the tubes on 5-watt monoprice amp; If so, what kind and what level of difficulty?**
A: I went with the tung-sol.https://www.amazon.com/Tung-Sol-Tung-Sol-6V6GT-Vacuum/dp/B0012XZ7NY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482069064&sr=8-3&keywords=6v6+tubeA little cheaper at tube depot. Installation was easy. Unplug amp,unscrew the back cover,slip off the retaining clip,swap tubes being sure to line up the pins/holes correctly and put your cover back on and that's it.

**Q: I've got a fender mustang amp. should i switch to this one? everyone says tube amp is way to go but honestly i can't hear it in demo videos**
A: Hard question. The mustang line of amps by fender has a lot of FX crammed into them. Which is great because it gives you a chance to hear what all the different FX  sound like. This mono price amp has no FX   Built into it, so you would need to have some  stomp boxes.  I bought the mono price AMP and switched out the China 12AX7 tube for a TUNG-SOL 12AX7  and it quickly became my favorite practice AMP.  Really the best thing about this mono price amp is the fact that it does not have a bunch of FX crammed into it.  You will quickly learn how to use the knobs on your guitar itself to get different tone out of the amp.

**Q: Would I be able to select 1 watt output, connect speaker out to another amplifier, and essentially use this as a preamp to say a Fender Champion?**
A: Not a good idea really.  The Champion expects a guitar pickup or the line output of a pedal plugged into it, not a hot signal like even the 1W speaker output.  So you'd really need to turn the Champion down.  The next problem is that the Champion's inputs are high impedance (say, 100,000 Ohms) but the Stage Right expects about 4 ohms impedance.  For many kinds of outputs, "higher is fine."  But I understand that for certain kinds of tube amps, it's bad to run them into high impedance.

**Q: Attn. manufacturer. why no email response from monoprice for 2 weeks about my new amp cutting in and out. i tried new cables. why no support on amp?**
A: I gave this amp to my son a year and a half ago and he loves it. No problems. Send your amp back if you can.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Bedroom Amp, Fantastic after speaker upgrade!
*by R***C on April 12, 2020*

I plugged it in and started playing after letting the tubes warm up and it sounded ok. It has nice sounds, very bright, almost too bright, but you can turn the tone down to compensate. I suspected that it had more potential and I was 100% correct. It was obvious it could use a better speaker, which I expected for this price. After reviewing 8" speaker options I opted for the Celestion Eight 15 G8C-15 8 Ohm speaker because: 1. It was only $29 with free 2 day shipping via FedEx from ZZsounds. They even delivered on Easter Sunday! 2. The Celestion website spec's the Eight 15 speaker at 20 Watts, although ZZ's spec's showed it as 15 Watts, which is what the amp came with anyway, so even if it's only 15 Watts that is still fine, but I tend to believe the manufacturer's spec's. 3. I noticed the magnet in the Eight 15 speaker weighed over twice as much than the stock speaker. The difference in the sound was very noticeable right away. Not a little better, the difference was day and night. Now, with the new speaker it sounds wonderful and "chimey" like a fine boutique tube amp. I couldn't believe what a difference the new speaker made and definitely recommend the additional $29 for the upgrade. It's an easy upgrade to do for most any DIY'er. However, it was a real challenge, incredibly difficult, unexpectedly took a lot of effort to remove the chassis because the tolex had bonded to the chassis, maybe excess glue from the tolex? I had to carefully use a large clamp with cushions and a rubber foot to avoid marring the surfaces to apply enough pressure to get the chassis out. I couldn't believe how much pressure it took to break it away from the tolex, but I was able to work it out without damaging anything. This amp takes pedals well. I like to use a Tube Screamer type pedal to get the natural break up at lower volumes and this has worked way better than I expected. I was feeling ok with the purchase even with the stock speaker, but the incredible difference an inexpensive speaker upgrade made encouraged me to write this long winded review. I recommend the amp, with or without the speaker upgrade.
