We’ve added some appropriate effects like a gain boost, a spring reverb, a “room” control and an analog cab sim for direct recording or silent stages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe BASS and TREBLE controls are from the \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e Chimera and Monarch preamp which are known for sounding good and useful at every setting. There are no wrong places to put them. Big changes can sound subtle but upon further inspection can yield big differences in tonality and feel. They’ve been tuned to work for any guitar or instrument you choose put through them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe VOLUME control on \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e The Amp might break up sooner than you might be accustomed to. You can achieve natural tube breakup by setting VOLUME at higher settings and backing down the OUTPUT to normalize the volume level. If distortion is not wanted or needed, simply turn the VOLUME level down and turn the OUTPUT up to compensate for volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eREVERB is a DSP spring reverb sound developed especially for \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e\/\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eMilkman\u003c\/span\u003e by Keeley Electronics.

It mimics the early reflections from an amp sound in a nice room or studio and livens up the signal and improves the feeling of playing guitar without the benefit of a cranked speaker behind you. There are internal trim pots (behind the right wood side panel) to change this reflection time to achieve a slower slap back effect. If the room effect is not wanted or needed you can adjust the setting to a standard slap back delay. Even though ROOM is intended to integrate with the cab sim output, we’ve made it available to come out of the speaker cabinet as well. The ROOM effect comes out of every output on \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e The Amp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe BOOST is a clean opamp based signal boost before the tube preamp of \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e The Amp. You can use it to overdrive (or further overdrive) the 12AX7 tube stages to get even more natural saturation if desired. It is capable of a full 24db of boost. The BOOST is also foot-switchable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe CAB SIM on the rear panel by the XLR output simulates a speaker cabinet for direct recording or silent stages. \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e captured their favorite mic’d up cabinet frequency response of their oversized 1x12 cabinet loaded with a \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eBenson\u003c\/span\u003e Ceramic 30 speaker with an AEA N22 ribbon microphone in front and emulated this sound using a no-latency analog circuit.
