Check out my Pedal Demo of the Benson Preamp. This drive has a unique ability to not get harsh and have a lot of versatility. I'll show what the full scope of its knobs sound like and a couple of cool sweet spots for the pedal discovered along the way.
I'm using my Veritas Portlander with Lindy Fralin Modern PAFs. And the signal chain is:
Pinstripe Multi Buffer Output 1
Tone Press Compressor
JMI (Left Amp)
Fender Prosonic (Right Amp)
