Classic Germanium Warmth, Modern Precision

The Benson Germanium Boost redefines what a germanium-based clean boost can do. Built around a unique voltage-controlled bias circuit, it delivers the unmistakable warmth and musicality of germanium transistors—without the instability and drift that have plagued vintage designs for decades.

Innovative Bias Circuitry

Originally developed during the creation of Benson’s temperature-controlled fuzz, this pedal uses an error-correction circuit to maintain perfect transistor bias regardless of temperature or component variation. The result is a boost that’s consistent, quiet, and tonally rich every time you power it on.

After activation, the bias stabilizes within seconds, bringing out a musical clarity that feels almost “produced.” Notes sound smoother and more detailed, enhancing what’s good in your tone while subtly taming harshness.

Pure, Musical Boost

Unlike typical boost pedals that color or compress your sound, the Germanium Boost enhances natural dynamics and harmonic richness. It functions as a transparent clean boost, subtle enhancer, or front-end push for your amp or drive pedals.

It’s equally at home on electric guitar, bass, or acoustic pickups, adding depth and warmth without sacrificing clarity.

Refined Engineering

Benson’s design increases input headroom and impedance, ensuring full low-end response and seamless interaction with any instrument or pedal. The germanium transistor runs stable and noise-free — even under demanding stage conditions.

Power Options

Runs on 9VDC Boss-style center-negative power supply, or use a 9V battery activated by the input jack. Designed for reliability and road-ready performance.
