Benson Amps Germanium Preamp Effect Pedal

Benson's Germanium Preamp Effect Pedal is a game-changing overdrive, boost, fuzz, and more. This pedal offers a distinct twist on the renowned amp-in-a-box preamp pedal. But what sets it apart? A germanium gain stage, borrowed from the beloved Germanium Boost pedal, replaces the first FET transistor, resulting in a new sounding effect.

The inclusion of germanium in this pedal infuses tone with a warmth and depth that traditional transistors simply can't replicate. This unique feature delivers a slightly lower gain compared to its predecessor but unlocks a ton of tonal possibilities, delivering a rich and dynamic overdrive, boost, or fuzz that musicians will truly appreciate. 

Equipped with intuitive controls, featuring just four knobs and a single bypass button, the Benson Germanium Preamp allows users to tailor your sound precisely to their liking, and pairs well with just about any other type of effect. A Gain knob adjusts the distortion level, offering a wide range of saturation from subtle drive to full-bodied fuzz. Fine-tuning tone with the Treble and Bass controls, which act as low pass and high pass filters respectively, is simple as well. Lastly, a Volume control ensures output matches desired levels.

The Benson Germanium Preamp can be powered by a standard 9VDC Boss style adapter or a battery, providing flexibility for various setups and environments.
