Used Benson PREAMP Guitar PreAmp Pedal

Benson Amps’ Preamp pedal brings the feel and response of a boutique tube amp front end into a compact, pedalboard friendly format. Designed to function as anything from a subtle tone enhancer to a full blown drive platform, it offers highly interactive controls that respond naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes, making it equally useful as an always on tone shaper or a primary gain source.

The circuit is based on the preamp section of Benson’s own amplifier designs, known for their clarity, harmonic richness, and touch sensitivity. Players often use this pedal to add amp like warmth to clean rigs, push an already cooking amplifier, or run it directly into a power amp or recording setup for convincing amp style breakup. Its wide gain range and strong EQ interaction make it especially popular with players who want organic overdrive that never feels compressed or stiff.
