We also fixed a couple other issues preventing the germanium transistor from being used as a convinc- ing linear boost...we increased the input headroom (even a normal guitar signal will drive a germanium transistor into unwanted input distortion without some tweaks) and increased the input impedance (a BJT transistor would normally thin out bass frequencies and interact negatively with whatever flows into it). \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe result is a germanium clean boost that can utilize a germanium transistor WITHOUT the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part of the deal...temperature sensitivity, drift, and suboptimal input impedance and headroom. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter the boost is first powered up, it takes about ten seconds before the error correction circuit correctly biases the germanium transistor After this things get interesting....we can hear how having the boost engaged makes guitar signals sound more musical...even when set at the same volume as the bypassed tone.

In this case, we set our eyes on the MK1 fuzz (which is itself a modified version of the very first fuzz ever). We kept the original controls (FILTER and VOLUME), and added a TONE control and a TRIM control to expand the palette of sounds available. Buffer and pedal order friendly (but with no pickup simulation, we had to tweak the output circuit this time). The original circuit is considered one of the hardest of the classic fuzzes to get right because of the difficulty in transistor selec- tion...with our patented technology we can do it easily and consistently...for the first time ever!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAUTOMATIC THERMAL BIAS TECHNOLOGY:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bias of the transistors in this pedal is automatically regulated by a circuit that GENTLY warms the Germanium transistors (2N404 OR 2N527) to a preset operating point using analog components, and ensures a consistent sound, no matter the external temperature. When the LED is amber, the transistors are warming up to increase their hFE (transistor gain) and to shift the bias point to the correct voltage. When the LED turns green, the warmer is off because the correct bias and hFE have been set. Expect the LED to toggle back and forth every so often while the pedal is on...that is how you know its working. The heaters will warm the transistors enough to still be effective on a summer stage, but far cooler than anything that would harm the transistors. This pedal is designed to operate between freezing and 100F but might still sound fine outside this range....up to about 120F where we’ve found germanium straight up ceases to function...which can happen if it’s left in the sun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTROLS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRIM is a gain control right before the two amplifying germanium transistors...turned all the way up is how the stock design is all the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFILTER manipulates both the gain and the bias point of the first gain stage. When turned down it will take away gain, bass frequency response, and will bring in to a gentle dynamic expander type effect (where quiet notes will be quieter than normal, the opposite of a compressor) TRIM and FILTER are interactive and there are many different flavors of fuzz and distortion to dial in. This pedal will not clean all the way up, even at low trim volumes there will be some distortion (in a nice way).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTONE is a low pass filter at the end of the circuit, carefully designed to act almost like a tilt EQ to balance the bright attack and full body of the sound, made possible by the original circuit being WAY brighter than the bypassed guitar signal...we think we’ve struck a good balance here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVOLUME is the output level...which we’ve increased many orders of magnitude from the original. We took the training wheels off so you can push the front end of your amp into sonic madness (if you want). NOTE: this user-beware approch can also lead to settings with a high noise floor. Please remember, this is a crazy and primitive fuzz at its heart...not a piece of pristine recording equipment. Let’s just say there were good reasons for the next four historic revisions of this particular product. If you are concerning people with a high level of hiss and noise, that’s a feature not a bug. It’s fuzz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTERNAL TRIMMER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease don’t turn the internal trimmer. It is precisely set at our factory.

Please do not subject this pedal to more than 9vdc or the pedal or power supply could be destroyed. This pedal draws less than 100ma when the heater is engaged, and far less than that when it is off. It will pull those 100ma instantaneously, which most power supplies have no issue with. With substandard or non standard power supplies it is possible the pedal will start oscillat- ing madly at the heater threshhold, where the LED changes, in which case may we suggest using a current doubler cable, or switching to a higher rated power output.","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45185882489145,"sku":"STONKBOX","price":279.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/3885\/files\/stonk.jpg?v=1684252991"},{"product_id":"benson-delay","title":"Benson 30ms - 1250ms Analog Delay Pedal","description":"The design process was characteristically obsessive and often dysfunctional, so we’ll spare you most of it.

The power ranges from 1\/2 a watt to 15 watts making this an incredibly versatile amplifier for studio or stage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e13-18 watts (depending on rectifier)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSpeaker outputs: 1 x 8 ohm, 1 x 16 ohm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHead 13.5”W 8”H 8.25”D 16 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e1x12 Cabinet 17”W 18.5”H 10”D 20-23 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePoint to point construction on terminal strips - no circuit, eyelet or turret board\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eCustom Soursound transfomers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eMallory 150M capacitors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eDovetailed pine speaker cabinet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBaltic birch head cabinet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBenson Custom Ceramic Speaker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51639819993401,"sku":"EARHARTPLGCG","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/3885\/files\/a2_8351d600-c709-439f-b83f-313a9b4e1c14.jpg?v=1766826696"},{"product_id":"benson-amps-5w-vinny-reverb-combo-power-scaling-surf-green-white","title":"Benson Amps 5w Vinny Reverb Combo Power Scaling Surf Green\/White","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeople have asked us for a few years now to make a Vinny Combo.  We listened, and then some.  We took the basic beloved Vinny circuit, and we added a tone control, Tall Bird style spring reverb, and power scaling which is uniquely driven by a tube, not a silicon MOSFET!  Perfect for rocking out without getting evicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x JJ 6V6 power tube (as a voltage regulator), 1 x JJ EL84 power tube, 1 x 12AX7, 1 x 12DW7\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable 1\/4 watt to 5 watts\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs: 1 x 8 ohm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolume, Tone, Reverb, Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\/weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    15.75”W 15.25”H 8.75”D 20 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoint to point construction on terminal strips - no circuit, eyelet or turret board\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMallory 150 capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Triad power and output transformers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaltic Birch speaker cabinet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10” Celestion Greenback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Blonde\/Oxblood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51639822123321,"sku":"VINNYREVERBSGW","price":2099.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/3885\/files\/a1_62e87953-1b84-4cbc-9c32-10d9c79ecb48.jpg?v=1766827160"},{"product_id":"benson-redland-reverb-15w-1x12-combo-amplifier","title":"Benson Redland Reverb 15w 1x12 Combo Amplifier Coco\/Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeveloped, designed, tweaked, and tested over the course of many years, the Redland Reverb Combo is a unique design that is aimed directly at the extended American palette of tones.
