Up for sale, a Benson Amps Preamp pedal in near-mint condition and in perfect working order. An extremely versatile pedal, this Benson works just as well as a pristine clean boost as it does a white-hot overdrive unit. It delivers lush, tube-like tones with Bass, Treble, Volume, and Drive controls.
According to Benson: “The circuit is based on our Chimera 30 watt guitar amplifier, but substitutes FET transistors for the vacuum tubes. The result is an extremely amp-like and versatile clean boost/overdrive/fuzz pedal that imparts rich harmonics and a very musical EQ to your signal chain…truly a Chimera in a box!"
This pedal is in great shape, with clean graphics and practically no wear on the enclosure beyond a few light scratches on the baseplate.
