Benson Amps' Germanium Preamp Pedal delivers all the tonal triumph of their lauded Preamp Pedal, this time replacing the first FET transistor stage with a germanium circuit from their Germanium Boost pedal. Combining the warm and rich response of germanium with the depth of tone control in the original Preamp Pedal, the Germanium Preamp Pedal offers the best of both worlds: fuzzy germanium drive and the controlled punch of transistor circuits.

Compared to the original Preamp Pedal, the Germanium model is slightly lower in gain, but jam-packed with tonal complexity. Whether you want a warmer option of their classic pedal or simply need a solid preamp for sizzling breakup in your guitar tone, the Germanium Preamp Pedal from Benson is a perfect choice.
