Benson Amps Germanium Preamp "Germeownium Edition"

  • Sale
  • Regular price $220.00


This pedal is based on Benson's now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp Pedal with one important tweak...well two: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage (stolen from our servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal), and a cat themed paint job. The result is an alternate universe take on our flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal. As well as a stand out look for all you cool cats out there! Yeah I know, I'll show myself out.

The result of these changes is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive/boost/fuzz/whatever we really, really dig. We hope you like it!

Beware: Germanium stops passing music at 120 Degrees Farenheit (like a very hot stage (or the pure super hot fire of having such a sick looking pedal on your board!))

Power requirements: 9VDC Boss style adapter or battery 50ma

Controls: Gain (distortion), Treble (low pass filter), Bass (high pass filter), Volume

This pedal ships fast and free 'cause that's meow we be! If you have any questions give us a call here at the shop.
