Description

Traveling all the way from Portland, Oregon, we have the Benson Amps Monarch Reverb+ finished in brown/wheat.

From its humble beginnings on Chris Benson's workbench years ago, the amplifier offers the original Monarch circuity design with a few alterations for improved performance. This version features a full Chimera tone stack and tube driven power scaling circuit. Ranging from 15 to .5 watts, perfect for studio, stage, and bedroom applications. 

Powered by 2 JJ12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 JJ 6V power tubes, the entire design features point to point construction, making for an amp that is easily serviceable. Quality parts such as custom Soursound transformers and Mallory 150M capacitors add to the Monarch's signature sound: clean to aggressive/fuzzy breakup. A single JJ 12DW7 drives the onboard reverb. Simple EQ controls consist of TREBLE, and BASS for easy tone shaping. 

The entire circuit is housed in a open back Dovetailed pine cabinet loaded with a single 12-inch Benson Custom Ceramic speaker. 

Fine tuned for tonal excellence, the Benson Amps Monarch Reverb+ is a pure delight.
