Pre-Owned Benson Amps Nathan Junior Reverb

The Benson Amps Nathan Junior: Studio-Ready Class A Simplicity

Vintage-Inspired Tone in a Compact Combo Format

The Benson Nathan Junior brings boutique-quality sound and unmistakable midrange warmth in a streamlined 5-watt combo. Built in 2022 and now available on consignment, this amplifier is the essence of plug-and-play simplicity for electric guitarists looking for harmonically rich, low-wattage Class A performance. Its compact form and single-ended tube design make it the ideal recording and practice companion, delivering complex breakup at reasonable volumes.

Iconic Benson Circuitry and Custom Tuning

Nathan Junior shares lineage with Benson’s celebrated Monarch circuit but trades the dual-voice flexibility for a single, custom-voiced preamp designed by Nathan himself (yes, that's a real person). The single volume and tone controls offer wide tonal variation, from articulate chime to a singing overdrive that responds beautifully to touch and pickup selection. Whether you're running single coils or humbuckers, the amp remains tight, clear, and expressive.

10-Inch Celestion Greenback Delivers Classic Punch

This combo comes loaded with a 10-inch Celestion Greenback speaker, the perfect match for the amp’s sweet spot in both headroom and grit. The smaller speaker size enhances articulation while retaining plenty of low-end response, making it an inspired choice for studio musicians and tone connoisseurs alike.

True Boutique Build with Honest Wear

This 2022 model is in overall excellent working condition but does exhibit light tolex peeling on the top and bottom edges. There are no electronic or sonic issues to report. It includes an IEC power cable. As with all Benson builds, it reflects hand-crafted attention to detail and uncompromising quality, this is a no-compromises amplifier made to inspire.

Handcrafted Quality with Studio-Level Clarity

Built in Portland, Oregon, each Nathan Junior combo exemplifies the meticulous standards that have made Benson a standout among modern builders. With just a volume and tone knob, this amp proves that less truly can be more when the components and design are this dialed in. Its low wattage encourages pushing the amp into its natural sweet spot, without waking the neighborhood.
