Key Features

  • Cut through the Mix – With the distortion also containing boost, you can be sure your riffs will be heard, and deservingly so!
  • Simple Interface – Dial in the exact tone needed with the simple-to-use interface so you have more time to show off your incredible Distortion.
  • Top Jacks – With the Jack Inputs on the top of the pedal, you will have more space on your pedalboard.
  • Road-Worthy Chassis – With the outer shell being made from a rugged aluminium, this pedal is built to survive even the longest worldwide tours.

Benson have literally taken their Germanium Gain Stage from their own servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal, and fused it with Benson quality controls. The result is an alternate universe! Marvel at the combination of the incomparable feel of germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal.

Stuff About 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.

The Important stuff

Germanium. 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..
