Hohner Panther Tega-10 Mid-90s - Black

As practice amps go this one is pretty good.

It small and practical with a BIG sound which belies it's size.

A single channel amp with very musical EQ.

Beautifully simple; a pre amp gain for boost and level matching, overdrive, master volume, treble middle and bass.

On the back is a line out and overdrive socket.

All controls work together to give you any desired level of gain and volume. From completely clean, to sweet spot off clean,to Iommi style metal. Easier than any amp modeller to quickly dial in the tones. No software, no obsolescence, no surface mount technology, easily repairable should the need arise, presently it's working perfectly.

It is very capable of getting in the ballpark of Marshall, Fender and Vox tones, just a case of dialling them in in seconds.

The preamp and overdrive (switchable) work together or separately to give the desired drive, then the master volume does what it should, adjusting the equalisation to suit.

A latching switch can be used to bring the overdrive into operation, the overdrive also can be brought into use without a footswitch to colour the tone.

I would say this is rated conservatively at 10 watts RMS, the speaker is 20 watts so more than capable of handling the power. It has a hefty magnet translating into a robust sound.

The amp is loud enough to play with a drummer. I have used it that way many times, naturally you can utilise the line out or a microphone to boost the volume.

Note there's a slight dent in the speaker cone, it doesn't affect the sound.

It comes complete with a bespoke functional cover, i.e. shopping bag, to protect it from the rain.

Note this amp was sold under a few other brand names, have a look at the video in which the brand name is Starfire.

These are made in China.

Budda, in the video, only really demonstrates the dirty side but you get the idea of it's versatility.

This amp takes pedals and modellers well.

The size is 36 33 21 WHD cm.
