Overview
While being the first pedal to incorporate Automatic Thermal Bias to combat the temperature sensitivity of Germanium transistors, it was designed to be a rich sounding clean boost, overdrive, or a gripping wall of fuzz.
Benson Germanium Fuzz is also included as part of the Benson Monarch Collection and Benson Chimera Collection.
