This powerhouse combines a high-voltage 12AX7 tube preamp circuit with a 100W Class D power amp, delivering enough headroom for any situation, from silent stages to loud rehearsals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eAt its core, Benson The Amp features the exact BASS and TREBLE controls from the revered Benson Chimera and Monarch preamps, renowned for their musicality and usefulness at every setting. These controls are finely tuned to work with any guitar or instrument, where subtle twists can yield profound tonal shifts and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eMastering the VOLUME and OUTPUT interaction is key to unlocking its character. Cranking the VOLUME control produces natural tube breakup, which can be tamed by adjusting the OUTPUT for consistent volume levels. For pristine clean tones, simply lower the VOLUME and compensate with the OUTPUT control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eIntegrated effects make it a complete solution. The REVERB is a authentic spring DSP algorithm developed exclusively by Keeley Electronics, foot-switchable on the top panel. The ROOM effect mimics the early reflections of an amp in a great-sounding space, adding depth and life for direct recording or silent stages. Via internal trimmers, this effect can be tailored to a standard slapback delay. The BOOST, also foot-switchable, provides up to 24dB of clean signal boost before the tube preamp, perfect for pushing the gain stage into further saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eThe analog CAB SIM on the XLR output captures the frequency response of Benson’s favourite mic’d cabinet—an oversized 1×12 with a Benson Ceramic 30 speaker using an AEA N22 ribbon mic—through a no-latency analog circuit. It can be bypassed via a rear-panel switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eBenson The Amp includes outputs for pedals, speakers, headphones, and line level, with configurable wattage: 50W (16ohm), 100W (8ohm), or 200W (4ohm). Its compact dimensions (8.5″ x 3″ x 6.5″) and light weight (2.5 lbs) make it the ultimate tonal companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"145\"\u003eCollaboration between Milkman Sound and Benson Amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"148\" data-end=\"212\"\u003eIconic Monarch \u0026amp; Chimera tones in a compact, portable format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"215\" data-end=\"290\"\u003eHigh-voltage 12AX7 tube preamp paired with a 100W Class D power amp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"293\" data-end=\"374\"\u003eMassive headroom suitable for silent stages, studio work, and loud rehearsals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"453\"\u003eAuthentic BASS and TREBLE controls from Benson Monarch \u0026amp; Chimera preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"456\" data-end=\"545\"\u003eHighly interactive VOLUME and OUTPUT controls for clean tones or natural tube breakup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"611\"\u003eFoot-switchable spring reverb DSP by Keeley Electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"614\" data-end=\"710\"\u003eROOM ambience effect for realistic space and depth (internally adjustable to slapback delay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"799\"\u003eFoot-switchable BOOST offering up to 24dB of clean gain before the tube preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"882\"\u003eAnalog no-latency CAB SIM on XLR output, modelled on a Benson 1×12 mic’d cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"885\" data-end=\"921\"\u003eRear-panel CAB SIM bypass switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"995\"\u003eMultiple outputs: pedal, speaker, headphone, line, and balanced XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eConfigurable power output: 50W (16Ω), 100W (8Ω), 200W (4Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1063\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003eUltra-compact and lightweight design: 8.5″ x 3″ x 6.5″, just 2.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Milkman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44109430685876,"sku":"480579","price":1589.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3537\/2980\/files\/milkman-benson-theamp.jpg?v=1766363862"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3537\/2980\/collections\/milkman-logo.jpg?v=1766363365","url":"https:\/\/www.turramusic.com.au\/collections\/milkman.oembed","provider":"Turramurra Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
