About Benson Amps

Benson Amps is a boutique amplifier and effects pedal company based in Portland, Oregon, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and unique circuit designs. Founded by Christopher Benson, the brand has gained a reputation for its rich, dynamic tones and meticulous attention to detail. Their pedals, including the Germanium Preamp, Preamp, and Delay, offer high-quality, organic sound with a distinctive character. Loved by musicians seeking warmth and responsiveness, Benson Amps products are designed to enhance tone without compromise.

Germanium

Germanium refers to a type of semiconductor material commonly used in older guitar effect pedals, particularly in fuzz and distortion pedals. Germanium transistors offer a warmer, more organic sound with a smoother and more responsive breakup compared to their more modern silicon counterparts. This makes them a favourite for achieving vintage-style tones, especially for players seeking classic fuzz or overdrive sounds with a distinctive character.

Pedals like the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff and Fuzz Face (from brands like Dallas Arbiter and Marshall) have been made with germanium transistors, contributing to their iconic tone. Germanium fuzz pedals tend to produce rich harmonic overtones and dynamic response to picking intensity, making them highly sought after by musicians who appreciate a more nuanced and vintage approach to tone shaping. However, they are more temperature-sensitive than silicon transistors, which can lead to changes in tone as environmental conditions shift.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.

Preamp

A preamp pedal boosts the guitar signal to line level before it reaches an amplifier, shaping the tone and adding warmth, character, or gain. Preamp pedals can be used to simulate the sound of an amplifier’s preamp stage, providing overdrive, distortion, or clean tone shaping. They can also be used to drive amplifiers harder or to add tonal colour and EQ adjustments. Some preamp pedals are designed to mimic classic amp sounds, such as those from Fender, Marshall, or Vox, while others offer more modern, transparent tones. Well-known preamp pedals include the Tech 21 SansAmp, Electro-Harmonix Soul Food, and MXR M81 Bass Preamp, making them a useful tool for tone shaping in both live performances and studio work.
