The Benson Amps Stonk Box is a modern reimagining of the classic MK1 fuzz pedal from the 1960s, featuring innovative Automatic Thermal Bias technology. This germanium transistor-based fuzz pedal requires 2-3 minutes to warm up after powering on, ensuring consistent performance regardless of external temperature conditions.

The pedal offers expanded tonal options with four controls: TRIM (gain), FILTER (gain/bias adjustment), TONE (low-pass filter), and VOLUME (output level). While maintaining the vintage character of the original circuit, the Stonk Box eliminates common flaws of vintage fuzz pedals, providing reliable operation with modern pedalboards.
