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.
The King Tone Guitar Mini Fuzz V2 is a premium compact germanium fuzz pedal from King Tone Guitar, a Canadian boutique pedal company known for producing historically accurate, premium-quality vintage-inspired fuzz and overdrive pedals with hand-wired construction and meticulous component selection.
