Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
The BENSON AMPS Stonk Box Fuzz is an automatic thermally bias fuzz pedal, so after plugging it into power (9vdc only), it will take 2-3 minutes on average to sound correct. The color of the LED indicator light might change. Don’t turn the internal trimmer. THAT’S IT. Read on if you would like to...there’s some good stuff.
Like the Germanium Fuzz before it, the Stonk Box attempts to take a classic 1960’s fuzz design, and bring the sound into the modern world without bringing any along the flaws and inconsistencies of the original. In this case, Benson Amps set their eyes on the MK1 fuzz (which is itself a modified version of the very first fuzz ever). They kept the original controls (FILTER and VOLUME), and added a TONE control and a TRIM control to expand the palette of sounds available.
Buffer and pedal order friendly. The original circuit is considered one of the hardest of the classic fuzzes to get right because of the difficulty in transistor selection...with patented technology you can do it easily and consistently...for the first time ever !
