It adds grit and thickness to your tone and will give you those fat Americana-guitar tones in seconds. It's a bluesy, gritty sounding distortion that still allows your guitars voice to shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe preamp pedal substitutes the vacuum tubes for FET transistors. You can use the gain on-board to take you from mild boost to all-out driven grit but not really going to heavy metal extremes. It can go into fuzz territory when cranked though and this gives your guitar sound plenty of sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSparkle and Cut\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou can use the on-board EQ to cut through the mix and add treble and sparkle to your sound or boost the bass for a fatter rhythm tone. Interestingly you can use the EQ to quickly switch between a distinctly American style distortion with scooped mids to a mid-heavy Brit tone for different options in your arsenal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVolume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTreble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePower requirements: 9v \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39481784336442,"sku":"AUD-BA-PRE","price":338.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/products\/benson-amps-preamp-based-on-chimera-amps-bensom-preamp-gsus4-832226.jpg?v=1741203897","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/en-us\/products\/benson-amps-preamp","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
