Benson Amps Germanium Preamp // Guitar Pedal Demo

The Benson GE Preamp, a modification of the renowned amp-in-a-box Preamp Pedal, introduces a significant enhancement by integrating a germanium gain stage in place of the initial FET transistor. This innovative modification draws inspiration from the servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal, lending a distinctive character to the flagship Benson Preamp pedal. By fusing the unmistakable warmth and responsiveness of germanium with the meticulous equalization and tone-shaping capabilities of the preamp pedal, the Benson GE Preamp offers an unparalleled sonic experience, transporting users to an alternate universe of tone.
