Benson Germanium Boost | Secret Weapons Demo & Review

Описание: You can support me on Patreon:   / markjohnston  

I cannot stress enough my ambivalence for “boost pedals.” As I look around my studio I can say, with confidence, that you’ll not find a single boost pedal. A single “transparent overdrive.” I like dirt pedals with color. That make a statement. That know what they are and where they belong. Enter the Benson Germanium Boost. A linear, single Germanium transistor that offers color, saturation, and a unique hint of compression that absolutely stopped me in my tracks through a tube amp. So let’s look at why that is. Let’s take a deep dive into a wet dry wet centered around the Benson Boost; the only single knob pedal I’ve ever loved.
