The Benson Germanium Fuzz is influenced by classic '60s fuzz topology, using a pair of meticulously-matched 2N527 transistors. However, Benson has added some clever updates to the circuit which ingeniously avoid the notorious negatives associated with vintage Ge fuzzes, while keeping all of the beloved germanium tones intact.

Automatic Thermal Bias Technology – Optimal Fuzz Sounds at All Times!

One crucial update is a warming circuit that keeps the transistors at optimum working temperature, no matter the external environment. When the LED is orange, the circuit is warming up. When it goes green, the ideal temperature has been achieved and the warmer automatically turns off. It's normal for this LED to toggle back and forth between orange and green as it does its work to keep the transistors operating at the perfect temperature.

Built-In Buffer & Pickup Simulator

Further improvements include buffer and pickup simulator circuits to cure the often nasty interaction between Ge fuzzes and other buffered pedals that sit before them in the chain. After the pickup sim, an impedance control has been added — allowing you to get that "guitar volume rolled back" sound without touching the guitar volume at all. Turn the impedance counter-clockwise for more hair, gain, and output, or clockwise for a tight, sparkling drive!

The Benson Germanium Fuzz is an amazing all-around dirt pedal, generating everything from warm boost and overdrive sounds, to traditional fuzz and burly distortion tones. It's a classic-sounding fuzz with practical, modern-day enhancements — a worthy addition to any pedalboard.

Tasty Pedals made by Benson

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Amps. Fuzz — A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players. Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.. Germanium — Germanium refers to the type of transistor used in many classic fuzz and overdrive pedals from the 1960s. Known for their warm, smooth clipping and natural compression, germanium transistors create a softer, more organic distortion compared to modern silicon types. They respond beautifully to a player’s touch and guitar volume, delivering rich, vintage tones with a distinctive character that many describe as musical and expressive..
