Benson Amps Jeez Germanium Fuzz Effect Pedal

Maaan! Goooosh! Jeeeez! You'd think you'd seen it all until you lay your eyes and ears on the Benson Amps Jeez Germanium Fuzz. This distortion from Benson breaks out of the usual bounds of Germanium fuzzes for an original circuit – not just a re-do of the staple dirt circuit. You'll be throwing out exclamations before long with Benson's latest take on a legendary circuit!

Germanium fuzz. A standby staple of fuzz circuits if there ever were one. Benson, being no stranger to a good Ge transistor, have had their spin on the classic dirt circuit before. Jeez is an all-new step for Germanium fuzzes with a design build from the ground up rather than iterated upon. Two authentic Germanium transistors land at the center of this pedal for pure, unadulterated Ge grime with Benson's proprietary transistor-warming system, keeping said transistors (and their sound) consistently in check.

From here, Jeez employs high-headroom input and output amplifiers for unprecedented flexibility in a Germanium fuzz. A high-input Z and new low-output Z means the Jeez fits snugly anywhere in your board alongside other pedals. The pedal's controls play blissfully simply with a flat treble response at noon on its Tone control, and moving upwards or downwards in either direction from there. Jeez swings with all the great tone you've come to know and love from Germanium... and then some!

Full clean boosts, top-end treble drivers, cranked Plexi-style breakups, and ooey-gooey Germanium fuzzes all bloom from Jeez. Two internal heating systems are signified by an LED indictor light with green, aqua, yellow, and white state modes – no need to overthink the colors, more than anything they're there to let you know Jeez is performing as it should! Standard nine-volt power requirements bring Jeez to life seamlessly.

When you're so blown away and you can't keep your admiration as an "inside" thought, Benson feeds you your next line in the scene with their Germanium fuzz.
