FUZZ- BENSON AMPS Storkn BOks___NEW___ David Torn signature Fuzz

 BENSON AMPS  

STORKN BOks

$290.00 USD

It is the third pedal made by Benson using their patent temperature control that allows germanium transistors to work at a fixed temperature. Hendrix used a half dozen Fuzz Face germanium pedals as they would thin out in sound or even shut down on him from temperature changes on stage. I saw him live twice and he kept a spare Fuzz beside the one he had on.

The unit can switch between a Tone Bender Mk1 and a Zonk Machine Mk1 for using on down tuned guitars. The layout is Tone, Filter, Bass, Volume and Trim.

    CONCLUSION ___

Needless to say it uses NOS 2N404 & 2N52t germanium transistors. You get a lot not on the originals to tweak and

dead on reliability. A pedal that is reliable is gigable and

for many that do session playing it matters to also be recordable. 

I find it very much a bit over the top and prefer a T-Bender Mk1

but basically stock with its chunky fat, velco sound and us 

it as boost pedal because of its very limited sustain. 

Or a Zonk Mk2 with its silicon transistor.
