Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.56% — moderately similar

The Benson Stonk Box in Solar White is a colorway variant of Benson's automatic-thermal-bias germanium fuzz, sharing the identical circuit: 2N404 or 2N527 germanium transistors kept at a consistent operating temperature via automatic analog thermal regulation, with Filter, Volume, Tone, and Trim controls. The white finish is a purely cosmetic option within the Stonk Box line, with tone and functionality unchanged from other colorways.
The Benson Amps Stonk Box is a germanium MK1 Fuzz with an automatic thermal bias system that keeps the germanium transistors (2N404 or 2N527) at a consistent operating temperature using analog warmers, eliminating the temperature sensitivity of vintage germanium fuzz. Derived from the very first fuzz circuit ever made, it retains the original Filter and Volume controls and adds Tone and Trim for an expanded palette. The Filter control manipulates both gain and bias point simultaneously, creating a dynamic expander effect at low settings. Buffer and pedal-order agnostic. Handmade by Benson Amps in Portland, Oregon. Regarded as a breakthrough in temperature-stable vintage germanium fuzz design.
