Push the preamp gain more, and your signal begins to breakup, offering everything from subtle grit to fire-breathing fuzz and distortion. All the character and presence of a mythic tube head — now more compact than ever — are at your disposal with the Benson Preamp pedal from Sweetwater.Versatile and touch-sensitive — just like your favorite tube amp!

Musical EQ and dynamic gain/volume controls give the Benson Preamp pedal more versatility than meets the eye. The preamp’s solid-state FET transistors are carefully voiced to mimic the raw harmonic detail of the vacuum tubes found in the original Chimera head. Palm mutes grow brawnier and leads are more present as the preamp breathes life (or fire) into your rig. It’s not only a fast way to warm up solid-state and DI gig/recording rigs, but the Preamp is also an invaluable utility item that helps each pedal in your chain perform at peak power. Benson Amps: supplying boutique tone since 2012 The quest for the ultimate tone can lead guitarists down a seemingly endless path. For Christopher Benson, a self-described "relentless tinkerer," the journey led him to take matters into his own hands. After stints as an amp tech around the Pacific Northwest — and with his flagship Monarch amplifier design already in tow — Benson introduced his eponymous company in 2012. Leveraging meticulous quality, practical expertise, premium components, and a passion for vintage-inspired design, the Oregon-based outfit aims to create original circuits that effortlessly transition from euphoric, rich cleans to glorious harmonic distortion with a mere change in pick attack. Whether it's a meticulously handcrafted pedal or a no-compromise handwired amplifier, players seeking tonal nirvana owe it to themselves to plug into one of Benson Amps' heirloom-quality offerings.Benson Amps Preamp Pedal Features: Brings distinctive Benson tube tone to a compact solid-state FET preamp pedal Ultra-sensitive volume and gain controls can achieve everything from clean boosts to a raucous fuzz Musical EQ seamlessly works across the preamp’s wide range Bold harmonic presence is perfect for saturating DI/solid-state setups or powering long signal chains SpecificationDetail Type FET Preamp Analog/Digital Analog EQ 2-Band EQ Inputs 1 x 1/4" Outputs 1 x 1/4" Power Source 9V DC power supply (sold separately) RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
