Harley Benton, Thomann's in-house guitar brand, is fast establishing a reputation for value, treading on more expensive brand's toes with for-the-price over-specced gear across the board.

Now, it seems to have the likes of Mooer - themselves a disruptive force - in its sights, with the new Harley Benton DNAfx GiT looking like it'll go to head-to-head with the well-reviewed Mooer GE150, albeit at an even lower price point. For just £128/€139/$140, the unit certainly offers a chunky spec.

The headlines, then. Onboard are 55 non-linear amp models, 26 IRs derived from modern and classic cabs, plus 151 effects, covering compressors, EQs, modulation, wah, pitch, delays, reverbs and more.

You can run up to 9 of these at any one time, while the built-in expression pedal can be assigned to parameters for real-time adjustment.

But wait, there's more, with a 40-pattern drum machine and 80-second phrase looper, and everything can be safely tucked away in up to 200 saved patches.

We'll be putting one through the MusicRadar demo and review wringer as soon as possible - stay tuned to see if it delivers.
