PRE-OWNED Benson Stonk Box Fuzz Pedal

The Benson Stonk Box Fuzz: Modernizing Classic Fuzz with Precision

Iconic MK1 Fuzz Circuit with Contemporary Enhancements

The PRE-OWNED Benson Stonk Box Fuzz is a masterful reimagining of the revered MK1-style fuzz, bridging vintage character with modern reliability. Engineered to capture the chaotic glory of 1960s fuzz tones, this pedal expands on tradition with a powerful tone-shaping section that includes TRIM and TONE controls in addition to the classic FILTER and VOLUME. The result is a fuzz pedal that feels just as at home on a '60s psych rock track as it does in today's experimental soundscapes.

Automatic Thermal Bias Technology for Rock-Solid Consistency

Say goodbye to unreliable germanium transistor behavior. At the heart of the Stonk Box lies Benson’s groundbreaking Automatic Thermal Bias Technology. Once powered, an internal heater gently warms the transistors to ensure consistent performance, regardless of ambient temperature. The LED glows amber during the warm-up phase and turns green when optimal bias is reached, delivering tonal stability previously unheard of in this circuit style.

Deep Tonal Sculpting and Responsive Gain Staging

The Stonk Box offers a well-thought-out array of controls for nuanced gain structuring and EQ shaping. The TRIM control, positioned before the germanium transistors, gives you everything from soft saturation to full-throttle fuzz. FILTER adjusts the bias and gain of the first stage for rich texture variability, while the TONE control shapes the top end. Volume ensures ample output for slamming the front end of your amp.

Purpose-Built Power Architecture and Precision Calibration

Designed exclusively for 9vdc  center negative power, the Stonk Box is not compatible with batteries. Internally, a factory-set trimmer dials in ideal performance, tinkering with it is not recommended. Power draw is minimal, but a stable and clean power source is essential for best results. The build is compact, solid, and gig-ready.

Boutique Fuzz for the Player Who Demands More

With surgical precision and visceral tone, this fuzz unit is tailor-made for players who crave vintage grit with modern dependability. It’s an exceptional choice for collectors, tone chasers, and anyone who demands more from their fuzz.
