Benson Amps Preamp, Second-Hand Overview
The Benson Preamp Pedal faithfully replicates the Chimera 30 amplifier’s preamp, delivering rich Americana-guitar tones with bluesy, gritty distortion. Replacing vacuum tubes with FET transistors, it offers seamless gain control from subtle boost to intense grit, while cranking up the gain can push it into fuzz territory, providing ample sustain.
