Benson Germanium Boost

Brand: Benson · Category: Boost · Released: 2020

A temperature-stabilized germanium boost with one big level control, built to add harmonic push, texture, and amp-like edge.

The Benson Germanium Boost is a one-knob boost built around a germanium transistor, with Benson’s automatic biasing approach helping keep the feel more consistent than old temperature-fussy germanium boxes. It can add level, thickness, top-end hair, and a chewy harmonic lift before an amp or another drive. It is not a transparent clean boost in the sterile sense; its value is the way it colors the front of the chain and makes a responsive amp feel more alive.
