Benson x Milkman The Amp

The Benson x Milkman The Amp: Classic Tube Voice Meets Modern Utility

All-Tube Character in a Portable Format

The Benson x Milkman The Amp isn’t just a pedal, and it’s not merely a power amp. It’s the culmination of two of the most revered minds in boutique amplification joining forces to deliver the soul of a tube amp into a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. At its heart is a tube-driven preamp based on the Chimera circuit from Benson Amps, expertly voiced to offer the rich harmonic saturation and dynamic response that players crave - whether you're hitting sparkling cleans or cascading into textured overdrive.

Fully Loaded with Practical and Creative Features

Designed to go anywhere and do anything, The Amp offers more than just amplification. The Class D power section delivers up to 200 watts at 4 ohms, capable of driving a cabinet with authority. For silent stages, studio sessions, or direct recording setups, the cab-sim-equipped XLR output brings Benson-flavored tone without the volume. It also includes a high-fidelity headphone output that makes quiet practice actually enjoyable. You’ll find an intuitive control layout: Volume, Treble, Bass, Reverb, Room, Boost, and Output—all voiced for musical interaction.

Born From Collaboration, Engineered for Expression

Chris Benson's unconventional and artful approach to amp design meets Tim Marcus' precision and clarity. This partnership goes beyond just names on a box - it's a synergy of tone philosophies. Where Milkman's original Amp leaned clean and articulate, this version dives headfirst into expressive gain textures without requiring external drive pedals. It's a complete tonal ecosystem in a box, ready for the stage, the studio, or the living room.

Designed for the Real World Musician

The Amp accepts any standard 1/4-inch instrument input with ease - from guitar to bass to keyboards. With its universal power input, it’s ready for travel anywhere. The analog cab sim, balanced DI, and analog Room control give you flexible output options that don’t compromise your tone. Whether you're mic'ing a cab or going straight into a mixer, the sound remains vivid, organic, and unmistakably Benson.

Premium Build and Included Essentials

Hand-assembled with the same attention to detail that defines both brands' flagship products, The Amp includes everything needed to hit the ground running. Alongside the unit, you’ll find a dedicated power supply, rubber feet for pedalboard or desktop stability, and printed product literature to help you unlock its full potential.
