The result is an alternate universe take on our flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of the germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive\/boost\/fuzz\/whatever we really, really dig. We hope you like it!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeware: Germanium stops passing music at 120 Degrees Farenheit (like a very hot stage)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Requirements: 9VDC Boss style adapter or battery 50ma (not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControls:\u003cbr\u003eGain (distortion)\u003cbr\u003eTreble (low pass filter)\u003cbr\u003eBass (high pass filter)\u003cbr\u003eVolume\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benson Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47531248648370,"sku":"ACBENGEPREAMP","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0084\/0659\/7712\/files\/fcwjf2pyh2uhq9v5oozb.jpg?v=1779969028","url":"https:\/\/www.citymusicannex.com\/products\/new-benson-germanium-preamp-guitar-effects-pedal","provider":"City Music Annex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
