Benson Amps

From EAE:
We have been longtime mutual admirers of the fine folks at Benson Amps. To commemorate both Benson Fest 2024 and our camaraderie, we cooked up this 2-in-1 combo pedal featuring the Germanium Boost and the Halberd.

The Halberd is a staple of

From Benson:

Back in 2023 we were approached by The Beach Boys to create a limited edition reverb-tremolo unit called the Surf’s Up, based on the classic Fender circuits with some upgrades, which was exciting because it allowed us to slay some dragons

Over the last 3 (!) years, we’ve been working with our long time friend and associate Jessica Dobson from the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver to take her signature sound (fuzz and delay) and put it into one box. We started with a silicon three-transistor fuzz

STONKS!

From Benson: 

This pedal is based on our now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp pedal with one important tweak: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage - stolen from our servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal which is ideal as a ver

From Benson:

In late 2023 we met Dave Jordan of Non-Human Audio at a pedal event in OKC. We were drooling over his unique Slow Loris modulated slap back effect and very excited to meet him. Chris and Dave were chatting about the Loris and Chris wound u

NERD ALERT

When designing the temperature controlled fuzz, we tried some unusual approaches. One false start utilized a voltage controlled error correction circuit to bias a single germanium transistor. It ultimately didn’t work for the fuzz, which is

The Germanium Fuzz is a fuzz pedal. The knobs change the sounds. IMPORTANT: after plugging it into power (9vdc only), it will take 2-3 minutes on average to sound correct. Good time to tune your guitar and grab a beverage. The color of the LED indicat

From Benson:
We call this our Preamp because it is! The circuit is based on the our Chimera 30 watt guitar amplifier, but substitutes FET transistors for the vacuum tubes. The result is an extremely amp-like and versatile clean boost/overdrive/fuzz peda
