Description:
When designing the temperature controlled fuzz, we tried some weird approaches. One of the things we tried was utilizing a voltage controlled error correcting circuit to bias a single germanium transistor. It ultimately didn’t work for the fuzz, since that circuit is comically sensitive to transistor gain attributes.
We did find a place for it though.
It turns out it was PERFECT for achieving a germanium clean boost that, (like our fuzz) is impervious to component drift, leakage, and temperature....moreso in fact. We also fixed a couple other issues preventing the germanium transistor from being used as a convincing linear boost...we increased the input headroom (even a normal guitar signal will drive a germanium transistor into unwanted input distortion without some tweaks) and increased the input impedance (a BJT transistor would normally thin out bass frequencies and interact neg- atively with whatever flows into it).
The result is a germanium clean boost where you can utilize a germanium transistor WITH- OUT the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part of the deal...temperature sen- sitivity, drift, and suboptimal input impedance and headroom.
It takes about 10 seconds when the boost is first powered up for the error correction circuit to bias the germanium transistor. After that it gets interesting....we can hear how it makes guitar signals sound more musical...even when set at the same volume as the bypassed tone. It seems to bring out the attack of the guitar while simultaneously smoothing out notes, like a compressor but different. It’s hard to describe. It appears to cut the bad parts of a signal and enhance the good. It’s killer on bass. It helps acoustic guitar pickups sound more natu- ral. And of course it’ll push your amp into a frenzy.
We hope you like it.
POWER SUPPLY
This pedal is for use only with a 9vdc Boss syle center negative power supply. There is space for a battery which is activated when a cable is plugged into the input, and there is no power supply plugged into the DC jack.
Please do not subject this pedal to more than 9vdc or the pedal or power supply could be destroyed.
WARRANTY INFORMATION:
2 years excluding modification or damage. Visit www.bensonamps.com for more information.

Great quality tank tops!
Color: Apricot, Size: Medium, Color: Apricot, Size: Medium
Had to take a quick minute to review these tank tops. Extremely soft, lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and sweat wicking & stretchy. Seem to conform and fit athletically without being too tight at all. I live in Phoenix and the summers are blistering, and this is probably one of the best tank tops I have owned. Athletic enough to wear to the gym or go for a run but stylish enough to just wear casually as a summer tank top as well. I ended up ordering two more for a total of three so far and likely will get yet another one in a different color. So far have kept their shape & color with laundry as well. Great job and amazing value!
(just for reference I’m about 6,1” and 160 lbs, athletically built but slender and ordered a medium and it’s perfect).

Flattering, Durable, and Worth Buying Twice
Color: Army Green, Size: Large
Love the material on these. I bought the green and loved it so much, I bought the black too. It's stretchy material and that is very durable. It's also flattering as it hugs the chest and shoulders, but is loose on the stomach if you have a bit of a gut. Great for showing off your arms. Washes great without shrinkage or fading. Looks higher quality than a cotton tank.

Could be better
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
It’s not bad. But!, I wish it was an inch longer. I got a 3x and idk why manufacturers always increase the neck hole on larger sizes. It’s a femininely large neck hole. I may send it back ? Not sure yet.
