The Benson Amps Germanium Boost is a compact, hand-built boost pedal built around a carefully selected NOS germanium transistor. Designed to provide up to 30dB of clean-to-gritty boost, it adds level and harmonic character while responding dynamically to the way you play. The circuit features a high-impedance input and low-impedance output, making it suitable for driving an amplifier or pushing another pedal while maintaining a strong, articulate signal.
The Germanium Boost uses a single Volume control to set the amount of boost. Its internal bias control allows the germanium transistor to be optimized for consistent performance, while the circuit is designed to retain its character across a range of playing dynamics. Built by Benson Amps in Portland, Oregon, the Germanium Boost is a straightforward, touch-responsive tool for adding gain, volume, and germanium character to a bass or guitar rig.
