We're down to the very last of our Robin's Egg fabric. We've got enough left for 2 combos or a head and cab set, so if you have been thinking about it, maybe this will push you over the edge.
Here's a Bellringer 1x12 combo in this endangered finish.
This Bellringer 1x12 is off to the venerable Val McCallum (@valmccallum.7) - let us know what Beau thinks of it, Val!
The Portable Distortion MKII is here.
A faithful recreation of the primordial tones of the Tascam Portastudio MKII input channel, which some helpful updates.
Available from dealers and at www.bensonamps.com/guitarpedals. Supplies are limited!
The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping. That means it's time for warm beverages! And what better way to deliver them to your face than a handcrafted ceramic travel mug featuring the Benson logo?

💖 This Tallbird Plus plus we made for @celissemusic is resplendent in it's pinkosity. 💖
Also, it's literally the most impossible finish to photograph. It's more of an in person multi-media experience.
Twin Monarch Plus and 1x12 setups for @moodymill and @jason_mraz in a (2) of a kind finish.
Nerdy detail alert, but if you look close you can see that the fabric pattern transitions seamlessly from the top of the headshell to the front panel. 🤌
We love our wrapping team. ❤️
@timhanseroth is playing his new Bellringers with @brandicarlile - we're honored, Tim!
We would be remiss if we didn't tell you that our Oversized 1x12 cabinet (with our Custom Alnico speaker) is the perfect companion to Benson The Amp. In fact, it's what we used to voice Benson The Amp and it's built in cab simulation.

The Amps out of the bag!
Meet Benson the Amp. It's a Chimera style high voltage tube preamp married to a 100 watt solid state class D power amp...with a number of other very helpful features.

More like not sayin'
Benson Amps has come a long way since Chris built the first Monarch in his garage way back in 2012. We've learned a lot about building amps since then (like which rubber feet and finish combo won't chemically react to each other), but it makes us proud that #001 is still out there making music.
Come give us a high five at the Brooklyn Pedal Exhibit! October 18-19 in Greenpoint.
