This used Benson Germanium Preamp is a highly dynamic gain pedal built around germanium transistors and designed to deliver everything from clean boost and edge-of-breakup textures to rich, saturated overdrive. Its responsive circuit reacts naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes, while the simple control layout makes it easy to shape a wide range of amp-like tones.
