Lunch box amps are getting even smaller – way too small to fit your schwarzwurst and spargel leftovers in, that’s for sure! Case in point: the TubeMeister 5 – a tiny Teutonic tube terror that is potently portable at 7.5 lbs, and includes a padded gig case. The Greta is a blast to play, it has a small footprint, it sounds cool, it looks cool, and you can’t argue with the price. I even used it to run the Greta in front of my Deluxe Reverb with excellent results. The Greta can also run into the front-end of another amplifier – think of it as a tube-powered stompbox with Volume and Tone controls and a 4" speaker! The line out gracefully adds to the Greta’s utility as a studio tool. We typically cranked the Tone control all the way, which yielded excellent results with humbuckers and single-coils. Very fun! With the amp’s Volume turned up halfway, you’re afforded some tough, punchy grind, yet you can back off your guitar’s volume for lovely clean tones that compress and sparkle nicely.

Gig loud? Well, not really, but certainly something that is worthy of being miked up, as it spews frothy distorted tones that are full of fang-y midrange and sweet top end. It’s not the sort of town you would want to live in, but a fun place to visit – maybe on a recording session for a lo-fi track, or practicing at home when you need to be super quiet.īut plug the Greta into a speaker cabinet and stand back – it sounds remarkably real, true, and loud. Using the onboard speaker, the tones are small, funky, and kind of fun. There’s also a VU meter that moves to the red the more you push the amp’s Volume control. Sporting a retro, tabletop-radio look, the Greta is an adorable lil’ thing with a 4" speaker and Volume and Tone controls. All in all, the HT-5R is a surprisingly versatile little tone generator. The speaker-emulated output is effective for recording and headphone rehearsing alike. The reverb sounds good on the clean channel, but it gets a little lost in high gain tones. It’s a gutsy little monster, too – although low end is understandably attenuated in a package this size. The Overdrive channel is surprisingly versatile, and runs confidently from chewy blues crunch to high-gain sizzle – all of which are a total blast to play. Tested with a Tele and an SG, the HT-5R hopped easily from Fender-y cleans to British overdrive and beyond. The cabinet and cosmetics are mostly businesslike, although the black grille cloth on the review model was a little slack across the speaker front. This implies a sonic signature that’s more “big amp feel in a small-amp package,” rather than the typical mini-class-A deal.
The HT-5R achieves its 5-watt goodness by using both sides of a 12BH7 dual triode – normally a preamp tube – in a pushpull output stage, rather than following the traditional single-ended format.

The chassis’ underside boasts a series FX loop with level switch, an mp3/ line input, a speaker-emulated DI/headphone jack (with closed-back 4x12" and open-back 1x12" options), and multiple speaker outs. The ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) control is continuously variable between tight, bright, in-your-face “American” tones and warmer, looser “British” tones.
