The @davidmtorn Strornknon Bokx turns 1 today! Happy birthday to our fav fuzz (so far)

We've got build slots for two walnut 1x12 combo cabs that @milkmansound put together for us. You can select either a Monarch Reverb+, Earhart Reverb+, or a Bellringer. In Stock now! (Note: Due to being built out of an natural hard wood, each cab will have unique variations in grain and appearance).

Join us tomorrow for Bensayin' at 12pm PST on YouTube, with very special guest @adamlevyguitar.

Family Photo!

Sometimes we end up with some orphan amps around the shop. Maybe a customer makes a change, or cancels an order, or we simply built an extra of something. We've got a few orphans ready for adoption, looking for a forever home...find them in the In Stock section of our site.

@electronicaudioexperiments Harberd X Benson GE Boost rides again. Available in the EAE webstore at nine western time USA.

Fresh batch of EAE x Benson Halberd + Germ Boost available on our site this Friday at 12PM ET. Check your local dealer as well!

For the aesthetic completists, we've got two new @joseystraps to match our Segovia and Coco finishes, available now on our website!

We affectionately call this finish "Coco", but we can't tell you why. We'll take that secret to the grave.

Tall Bird Plus, Redland, and 2x12 vertical cab. You know, just another bedroom rig.

It's not an angelic visitation...it's our Germanium Boost, in white! We've got 10 of these in the In Stock section of our website. Add it to your treasure hoard and be the envy of every Tone Dragon on your block.

A pile of amps (as well as Chris and Ryan) will be making an appearance at the @fretboardjournal Summit this weekend! The Summit is an incredible collection of players and builders and we're proud to take part. Come say hi and take home one of these beauties!

Monday is for "Miss Lee", one of our new finishes, which looks mighty fine on this Tall Bird Plus. If we do say so ourselves.

Heads up - our stock of Robin's Egg fabric is running out! We've got about enough for 10 more pieces (a combo amp is considered one piece, a head and cab is two). When we run out...that's it! You can find it under the "In Stock" tab on our website.

We've got a trio of amps looking for homes! Two Monarch Reverb Plus combos and a Vinny Reverb Combo...you can find them under the "In Stock" tab on our website. All the tone, none of the wait!

Power Scaling...what it is and what it is not! A new episode of Bensayin' is now live on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. The "Plus" in Monarch Reverb Plus stands for it's tube driven Power Scaling feature, which adds a ton of versatility to our amps that feature it. But how does it work?

@grezguitars Mendocino bass into the B700 sounds very right. Also, we don't actually know how to play this song.

The @milkmansound just dropped off four more small combo sized walnut cabs, which are available now to order as either Nathan Jr. Reverb or Vinny Reverb combos! Visit the "In Stock" section of our site to snag one.

This Monarch Reverb Plus in our Aged Tweed finish is for @kellenoftroy

Our deep dive in to the B700 bass head goes live at 12pm PST on our YouTube channel! We had a blast hearing different basses through it, and diving into the different features of this deceptively simple amp.

Coming tomorrow on on our YouTube channel... Bensayin' Episode Two: a deep exploration of the B-700 bass amp!

Can you guess which artist this pink sparkle B-700 rig is for? @celissemusic, we love you too.

The harmonic tremolo on the Tall Bird Plus can do a pseudo Uni-Vibe impersonation, as well as add it's own grit and distortion. Please enjoy these two middle aged men demoing this sound. (Also, these single coil pickups by @ren.e.v sound spectacular).

We haven't posted a Vinny stack in a while! This Aunt Gertie clad head and 1x10 cab are going to Janneck Zechner.

We've got a new long form series we're doing to take deeper dives into gear and sound...both our stuff and gear we like! In our first episode we take on reverb and tremolo, featuring our new Tall Bird Reverb and Tremolo. Watch the full episode on YouTube! youtu.be/aXhXnhmxxEo

Nothing says JULY! like a hot cup of joe. 2 style of handmade ceramic mugs are back in stock at our web store!

We've got some fun limited finishes coming down the pike, starting this Monday! On our website you can sign up for our email list to get first dibs on limited runs when they're available (the sign up for is at the bottom of every page).

Jonathan Harvey, bass player for @thekooksmusic, visited Benson HQ and took the STÖRKN B0kš and B700 for a spin, guided by the deft hands of our own @cory.the.rewinder I think we need to hear the STÖRKN B0kš in more bass rigs. What do you think?

Two Monarch Reverb Plus combos for @seal (Yes, we realize this is a little crazy).

If you’ve been waiting to add that extra piece (cough cough Tall Bird Plus cough cough) to your Night Moves covered rig, now is the time. Our supply is limited and once it’s gone…it’s gone. In the words of Robert Frost, nothing golden can stay.

What do you call a stack of Tall Birds? A flock? A murder? 📷: @robbieaugspurger

It's Tall Bird Plus Reverb and Tremolo Day! Available now from our dealers and on our website.

We have the technology. We can make it more than it was. Better. Stronger. Taller. Tomorrow 9am PST

Coming Soon: the Tall Bird Plus tube-driven Spring Reverb and Tremolo unit. Stay tuned. Guitar: @realnathanjunior Video: @robbieaugspurger

This Nathan Jr. is done up in a two-tone Aunt Gertie/Black Linen finish.

Enjoy this live performance by Marcus Fischer in the space that would later become Benson's wrap, assembly, and shipping warehouse. Marcus played through a "stereo delay" he created using two reel-to-reel tape machines through a Benson Bellringer and Benmaster. Full video is on our YouTube channel

Time to make the pedals.

Vinny Reverb combo in the classic Night Moves/Wheat Grill for @stevenwgreco

The mugs are sold out (thanks!), but we've recently added Green Tolex and Gold Tolex to our @joseystraps selection.

"I saw a human pyramid, once. It was very unnecessary." - Mitch Hedberg Amp pyramid, tho...

"Drink coffee and wear shirts," we always say. New merch in the web store...two styles of handmade ceramic mugs, and a new t-shirt made 100% in the USA (even the labels). Link in bio.

We love seeing amp siblings hanging out together in the wild, like this Benmaster combo and Vincent stack. They were kind enough to bring their owners @mikebaggetta and @charlie.parr to the gig, too.

This amp has a new preamp and EQ design we're super stoked on. We're workshopping name options for the official release. Unfortunately, "Bandit 112", "Rockman", and "Blues Cube" are already taken. This custom 1x15 combo (with a vintage Jensen P15N) is headed off to @xanadont70 from @thebandcake

B700 in green tolex with checkered grill for @simonfabela from @thisisduster. If this amp had a first name and a hobby, what would it be? I think it's Basil, and it enjoys restoring vintage race cars.

Should we call this finish "Organized Crime"?

⚠️ Side effects of the Störkn B0kš may include: - Sudden shifts in gravitational pull - Accidental summoning of Cthulhu - Irregular jazz hands - Single notes so thick it requires they require their own passport Use responsibly. Or don’t. We’re not your dad. 🎛️ Limited stock in the web store

A small batch of pedals left over from the Portland Stompbox Exhibit just hit the shop, including a few favorites that have been out of stock. Quantities are low, charm is high! (Link in bio)

The Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo is back in stock. Just in case you were refreshing the page for the last month. (Link in bio) Big thanks again to @thisisdeepseadiver for collaborating with us on this beauty.

Come see us at the Portland Stompbox Exhibit this weekend! Entry is free, but BYOG (Bring Your Own Guitar). Where: @jajapdx When: 4/12: 12pm-6pm & 4/13: 11am-5pm Why: I don’t have a Stompbox addiction and I can stop any time.
