Benson Amps Germanium Boost

Temperature-Controlled Germanium Boost

Crafting the Temperature-Controlled Fuzz led us to some unexpected discoveries, one of which became the foundation of this innovative Germanium Boost. While our original design didn’t suit the fuzz concept, it revealed a groundbreaking way to create a clean boost that eliminates the common issues associated with germanium transistors.

What Makes It Special?

1.Error-Correcting Circuit: This boost employs a voltage-controlled error-correcting circuit to bias the germanium transistor, making it impervious to temperature, drift, and leakage. It’s more stable than ever.

2.Enhanced Input Headroom and Impedance: Unlike traditional germanium circuits, this boost prevents unwanted input distortion and bass thinning, offering a rich and natural tone.

3.Instant Musicality: After a brief 10-second warm-up at power-on, this pedal delivers an audible improvement. Notes gain clarity and smoothness, much like a compressor—but with a unique touch.

4.Versatility: It’s not just for guitar! This boost works wonders with bass, acoustic pickups, and even as an amp driver, enhancing attack and enriching tone without sacrificing transparency.

Key Features

•Germanium Transistor Stability: No more quirks or compromises; enjoy the tone without worrying about environmental factors.

•Natural Sound Enhancement: Brings out the best in your signal, cutting the bad and highlighting the good.

•Killer with Anything: From clean tones to driving your amp into a frenzy, this pedal adapts seamlessly.

Power Requirements

•9VDC Center Negative: Designed for Boss-style power supplies.

•Battery Option: Includes space for a battery, activated when a cable is plugged into the input and no DC jack is used.

Warning: Do not exceed 9VDC to avoid damaging the pedal or your power supply.

This germanium clean boost is more than a utility—it’s a tone enhancer that opens up new sonic possibilities. Experience it yourself and let your sound shine!
