Description

The Benson Stonk Box Fuzz Pedal combines the essence of classic 1960's fuzz design with modern improvements, eliminating flaws and inconsistencies. Inspired by the ever-lauded MK1 but is much more buffer and pedal order friendly.

The pedal features Automatic Thermal Bias Technology, gently warming the germanium transistors (2N404 OR 2N527) to a preset operating point using analog components. The LED indicates warming progress, turning amber when transistors warm up to increase hFE and bias point and green when the warmer is off indicating the correct bias. This ensures consistent performance in temperatures from freezing to 100°F.

Controls include TRIM for gain adjustment, FILTER for gain and bias point manipulation, and TONE for balancing attack and body. VOLUME has increased significantly for powerful sonic exploration. 

The Stonk Box offers vintage fuzz charm with the consistency to keep up with contemporary guitar rigs. Its Automatic Thermal Bias Technology, versatile controls, and amplified output provide an exhilarating fuzzed-out experience. Embrace the fuzz.
