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 \u003cp\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 \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSparkle and Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\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","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54968595218774,"sku":"BENSON PREAMP","price":249.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/5693\/3206\/files\/1614596810-57935900_b20003b3-1f5d-4cc5-bb16-16ac2e3b21ad.png?v=1786545305","url":"https:\/\/soundaffects.com\/products\/benson-preamp-effects-pedal","provider":"Sound Affects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
