The Benson Germanium Preamp is based on Bensons now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp with one important tweak: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage (stolen from Bensons servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal). The result is an alternate universe take on Benson Amps 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/whatever we really, really dig.
