Benson Amps Stonk Box (Solar White)
Benson Amps · pedal
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.
