Benson Amps Germanium Preamp Pedal

The Benson Germanium Preamp Pedal is based on Benson's now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp Pedal with one important tweak: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage (stolen from their servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal). The result is an alternate universe take on their flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal. The result is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive/boost/fuzz.
