The Benson Germanium Preamp is based on the now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp Pedal with one important tweak: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage (stolen from the servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal).
The result is an alternate universe take on the flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of germanium with the careful equalisation and tone controls of the preamp pedal.
The result is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive/boost/fuzz/whatever we really, really dig.

Power requirements
* 9VDC Boss style adapter or battery 50ma

Controls
* Gain (distortion) * Treble (low pass filter) * Bass (high pass filter) * Volume
