Benson Amps Monarch Reverb Plus in Green Tolex with Check Grill and Gold Piping

The Benson Amps Monarch Reverb Plus – Studio Versatility with Vintage Tube Richness

All-Tube Power Scaling for Unmatched Tonal Flexibility

The Benson Monarch Reverb Plus expands on the original Monarch Reverb by incorporating an innovative tube-driven power scaling system. Powered by a JJ 6L6GC tube acting as a voltage regulator, this design introduces true plate resistance into the power supply, mimicking the feel of a tube rectifier even in its absence. The result is responsive sag, touch sensitivity, and harmonic depth at any volume level. From a whisper-quiet 1/2 watt to a gig-ready 15 watts, the Monarch Reverb Plus adapts effortlessly to studio or stage environments without sacrificing tonal character.

Chimera-Inspired Tone Stack for Expanded Shaping

Replacing the Monarch's original voice switch, the Reverb Plus features the full Chimera tone stack for broader and more flexible tone sculpting. This change effectively transforms the once binary switch into a variable control, allowing you to fine-tune your sound with more precision and control. Whether you're chasing bright chime, thick mids, or classic scooped tones, this amp delivers a palette worthy of its boutique build.

Premium Components and Handmade Construction

Like every Benson amp, the Monarch Reverb Plus is built with exceptional attention to detail. It features true point-to-point wiring on terminal strips—no circuit, eyelet, or turret boards in sight. Mallory 150M capacitors and custom-wound Soursound transformers ensure that every part of your signal path is optimized for clarity and warmth. The dovetailed pine cabinet adds to the resonance and durability, while the Benson Custom Ceramic Speaker delivers articulate lows and crisp highs.

Footswitchable Reverb with Tube-Driven Depth

A JJ 12DW7 tube handles reverb duties, pushing rich and musical ambience that responds beautifully to dynamic playing. With the ability to toggle the reverb via footswitch, the Monarch Reverb Plus gives players hands-free control, perfect for live performance scenarios or on-the-fly tonal shifts in the studio.

Stunning Boutique Aesthetic with Custom Tolex

Finished in green tolex with a check-pattern grill cloth and gold piping, this amplifier doesn't just sound boutique—it looks the part too. Its clean design and premium materials reflect the same level of craftsmanship found under the hood. It’s a piece that will stand out on any stage and fit right in at any high-end studio.
