The Benson Germanium Boost is one of those pedals that never drifts far from my board. Its ability to enrich clean tones, bolster overdrives, and rip amps has made it a staple of almost every board I build. The subtle color and compression the germanium offers makes it invaluable for offering a sense of analog warmth to a digital rig. And, as I learn in the making of this video, it also serves to create a unique and excellent punchiness on bass, MOOG, and even a full stereo drum bus.
It really is like the coolest pedal.
