Gently used Benson Germanium Boost here with original box. This is a really good boost and super quiet. It actually acts as a volume cut below 5. Boost after 5. It can get somewhat fuzzy to the top end. Really barks in front of a Tweed or gainy amp. No issues with it. There are a few minor wear marks just from a smoke free studio use but you really have to take a close look to see them.
- Unique temperature controlled fuzz
- Increased the input headroom and impedance
- Germanium clean boost without the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part of the deal
- Having the boost engaged makes guitar signals sound more musical
- Notes have a simultaneously smoother and more detailed character
- Appears to deemphasize the unwanted parts of a signal and enhance the good
