This amp is pretty much brand new! I purchased it in January of 2019 directly from a Benson Amps dealer and it has stayed in my smoke free studio since that day. It was manufactured in 2018 (see the dated photo in the listing). This is an amazing amp and I hate to get rid of it but I need to make room for other purchases. My loss is your gain, get it now without the long wait from Benson. This listing is for the head only, as is. Here is the description and specs straight from the Benson website:
THIS LITTLE ONE-WATTER IS NO TOY. CHRIS SPENT SEVERAL WEEKS ON THE DESIGN SEEKING A GIANT SOUND IN A COMPACT PACKAGE EQUALLY AT HOME IN THE LIVING ROOM AND STUDIO. BEAUTIFUL CLEAN AND DRIVEN SOUNDS ARE ACHIEVED AT CONVERSATIONAL VOLUMES. THE VINNY HEAD IS THE SIZE OF A SIX-PACK OF TALL BOYS. THE SINGLE VOLUME CONTROL IS ALSO A TONE CONTROL: VINNY STARTS OUT BRIGHT WHEN THE CONTROL IS SET LOW AND CLEAN, AND GETS DARKER AS IT IS TURNED UP AND DRIVEN INTO COMPRESSION, OVERDRIVE, AND EVENTUALLY DISTORTION. THE KILLER FEATURE OF THIS TINY AMP IS AN INTERNAL LOAD AND POST-OUTPUT-TRANSFORMER LINE OUT… VINNY MAKES A KILLER PREAMP! PLUGGED INTO ANOTHER AMPLIFIER, OR EVEN A RECORDING CONSOLE, REAL POWER TUBE DRIVE SOUNDS ARE AVAILABLE AT ANY VOLUME!
Specs:
- 1 x JJ EL84 power tube, 1 x JJ 12AX7 preamp tube

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if needed.
