The Benson Amps – Germanium Fuzz – Solar White is the first fuzz pedal with automatic thermal bias technology. The regulated circuitry automatically and gently warms the germanium transistors in order to ensure a consistent tone, no matter the temperature conditions. The pedal takes around 2-3 minutes to warm up and sound correct, with the LED light actually changing colors to indicate it’s ready to go. It’s very important that this pedal be run with a high-quality and consistent power supply, please ask us if you have questions.
At the heart of the Benson Solar White Fuzz is a couple of germanium transistors that have been graded and matched to deliver the best fuzz possible. The tone of this pedal is versatile and dynamic, reminiscent of ’60s Fuzzface sounds, allowing you to clean up your tone by rolling off the volume knob on your guitar. The Gain and Impedance settings puts overdrive, clean boost, dark or light fuzz and full-on zip at your fingertips.
