Benson Amps Germanium Fuzz Guitar Effects Pedal

When it comes to fuzz, connoisseurs of tone know germanium-driven boxes are the cream of the crop. The Germanium Fuzz pedal from Benson Amps is a prime example. Unlike its counterparts, the Germanium Fuzz is temperature controlled courtesy of an internal thermal bias. This facet allows players to extract the optimum tonal effect from both germanium transistors, no matter the climate of their surroundings. And like all good things, a brief two- to three-minute wait period allows the Germanium Fuzz to warm up properly. Once the light turns green, it’s showtime! You’ll revel in delicious ’60s- and ’70s-inspired fuzz effects, with Gain/Impedance shaping for pouring on as much characterful grit or subtle sparkle as you require. Simply put: the Benson Amps Germanium Fuzz offers a boutique build quality with top-tier fuzz functionality and tone to match.
