The Benson Preamp Pedal captures the preamp of the Chimera 30 amplifier. It adds grit and thickness to your tone and will give you those fat Americana-guitar tones in seconds. It's a bluesy, gritty sounding distortion that still allows your guitars voice to shine through.

The preamp pedal substitutes the vacuum tubes for FET transistors. You can use the gain on-board to take you from mild boost to all-out driven grit but not really going to heavy metal extremes. It can go into fuzz territory when cranked though and this gives your guitar sound plenty of sustain.

Sparkle and Cut

You can use the on-board EQ to cut through the mix and add treble and sparkle to your sound or boost the bass for a fatter rhythm tone. Interestingly you can use the EQ to quickly switch between a distinctly American style distortion with scooped mids to a mid-heavy Brit tone for different options in your arsenal.

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Pedal

Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.

preamp

A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound.
