Harley Benton HB-40R

40 watts is, quite simply, a lot of power; I've never been able to set the volume to this thing above 6 without fear of deafening myself.
Build quality is 4/5 , as plugging anything in to the dedicated AUX IN port for backing track play results in horrible buzzing and insanely loud popping noises. This was tested across several different aux cables and portable devices.
Other than that, the amp itself is very solidly built, and can definitely take a few knocks. The overdrive channel feature is a bit rubbish, but the clean channel is great. EQ controls are good.

Another note : This is very useful to bring to parties as a speaker. Simply make sure you're set to the clean channel, set the volume low (1 or 2 out of 10), and use an adapter to connect the 3.5mm jack from your phone to the regular guitar input jack. Many friends have commented on how great the sound is playing back party playlists, and the best part is that you can go from listening to music to playing it, with just an electric guitar and an aux, with the same amp. Very versatile.

Clean channel + reverb sounds nice.
Distorted channel is ok for classic rock, but not very versatile.
Doesn't have many features but it's cheap & loud.

Impulsively bought it as a part of starter package with a primary application for a home practice and I should've read more on the subject before.

1) It's large and heavy.
2) From my perspective it's too powerful and difficult to set quiet enough for an apartment inside a block of flats, especially during night hours.
3) Should be OK for rehearsal somewhere where you can go loud.

For home practice I replaced it with a slightly more expensive tiny combo with 0.1W/1.5/5W output settings which is way more suitable for a home practice and contains features like drum machine/metronome, tuner, effects & amp emulation- especially first two important for practice.

Otherwise seems to be fine & inexpensive product.

Having bought this amp when I first began playing guitar I had little knowledge of the sound or quality expected from an amp compared to now.

I would recommend this to beginners who dont know exactly what they're looking for and dont want to part with a lot of money. While it is most definitely a sturdy build that will not break easily, its tonal limit is quite poor and I wouldnt recommend for gigging use. It is however great for bedroom practice or jamming with friends, if anything it will definitely guide you towards what you are looking for if you ever feel the need to upgrade your equipment.
