Benson Amps Redland 15 and Redland 35 Guitar Amplifiers
The Benson Redland Series features two models: The Benson Amps Redland 15 and Benson Amps Redland 35. Centrally, Benson's Redland models hearken to the all-tube truth of American amps' past – though not solely focused on your classic Californian tones. The Redland Series stakes a claim for amplified excellence in the style of vintage American tube cleans à la your Peaveys and Dumbles, for instance. This is achieved through the Redland amps' authentic tube design and revised EQ tone stack.
With the two Redland amps, you find some common ground. Each Benson Redland amplifier features a twelve-inch Benson custom speaker. This speaker projects an authentic American clean tube tone, inspired by classics of past generations but certainly retaining that certain Benson style. Touch-sensitive, responsive, and with buckets of tube-driven muscle, the Redland 15 and Redland 35 – punching in with fifteen and thirty-five-watt power, respectively – make great canvases to go direct guitar-to-amp or color with effects.
Each Redland amplifier features Benson's variable wattage control as either amp can operate at its full wattage capacity or get cut down to lower wattages incrementally. This function allows for the Redlands to perform at a wide range of volumes for different performance scenarios, but also retains their full-bodied, American clean tone wherever they land. Benson's revised Treble and Bass EQ tone stack compounds on this tube control for a different take on EQ shaping that is deeply interactive as frequencies are shaped knob to knob. Onboard tube-driven spring reverb breathes a vintage-style flourish into the Redland Series for an effect that can go from splashy to cavernous.
