Just so Sasha and Benson knows, this demo sold me on this pedal. I've never owned a Benson amp or pedal before, but I like that softer/tweedy/saggy tone this thing does.

[@alecpalmer9714]

Is this the best year for overdrives in the history of overdrives? The Silktone OD, Mythos Herculean Deluxe, and Benson Germanium Preamp all seem to be amazing pedals...and it's only March.

[@Danielwilkinson]

Legend mate, soo good. Thanks for rolling back the volume on this to show its cleanup!

[@mahkyb]

These videos on great high quality pedals really informs my decisions on what to get. I also serially watch them over and over...lol. Thank you Sasha!

[@adamjoseph2704]

Good stuff! Still havent tried the OG Benson Pre but now I think I gotta try both at once

[@raydowley1038]

Nice demo again Sasha it's on the list 👌

[@rob28781]

This is definitely right up my street! 🙌

[@brettstephens909]

The cleanup is beautiful, I have the germanium boost which is awesome and this one almost gets into fuzz territory at higher gain, great stuff👍

[@Wadey1960CS]

We finally find out what was behind the BLUUUUR!! Sounds great Sasha, I like it.
Thank you!🙏🏼

[@SashaIvantic]

Hahahaha well spotted

[@tomshoemaker662]

Great playing and great sounding pedal! Hey Sasha, what type of in ears are those you’re using?

[@kluker]

Man, what amps settings and pedals do you use for "clean"? Every video you make sounds the same, and I tried to reproduce it, but I can't. I like the headroom. Pream sounds awesome. Cheers

[@dancrowe7860]

Pedal sounds great! Are you slamming into the front of the Silktone or bypassing the preamp of the amp? Great regardless, but wondering if this pedal is a true preamp that can be used via the Return of an effects loop....

[@seancolinnorth]

Hey man, I like your demos - thanks! Curious who made that pink SG.

[@SashaIvantic]

Thanks a lot! Nicholas Giordano made that! There's a vid on my channel!

[@seancolinnorth]

Word! Thank you. Rock on 🤘 @@SashaIvantic

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

I need some Benson in my life!

[@LewWelchThePoet]

👍🏿🤘

[@mattcrumpler1527]

Are you ok? Looks like you are using the Bridge pickup

[@SashaIvantic]

I mostly use the bridge pickup. My tone being dark is a myth

[@zookiebudeck3428]

Hey Hey Hey, be careful. Don’t slip of the chair 😅
Cheers from the Dutch border 😎

[@leehenderson8132]

Too bad I got ripped off on the stink box.jesus what an overpriced paperweight.My friend makes better for less.This company is way overpriced....my opinion. You know like Sasha has his opinion. Smitten is the word.

[@elliotgreen987]

Who is your friend? If they make a better pedal than this for less I am very interested... the Benson sounds great to me
