Benson Amps Stonk Box Fuzz Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Benson Amps Stonk Box Fuzz Pedal delivers the classic 1960s MK1 fuzz sound with revolutionary Automatic Thermal Bias technology that eliminates the flaws and inconsistencies of vintage fuzz designs. This innovative pedal takes one of the hardest classic fuzzes to get right and makes it consistently perfect through patented thermal bias technology. Perfect for players seeking authentic vintage fuzz character, modern reliability, and the expanded tonal palette that comes from Benson's innovative approach to classic circuit design.
Product Overview
The Stonk Box represents Benson's second-generation Automatic Thermal Bias fuzz pedal, building upon their successful approach of bringing classic 1960s fuzz designs into the modern world without inheriting the notorious flaws and inconsistencies that plagued the originals. Based on the legendary MK1 fuzz—itself a modified version of the very first fuzz ever created—this pedal tackles one of the most challenging vintage fuzz circuits to recreate consistently.
The revolutionary Automatic Thermal Bias system eliminates the transistor selection difficulties that made the original MK1 fuzz notoriously inconsistent and unreliable. After plugging into 9V DC power, the pedal requires 2-3 minutes to thermally stabilize and reach optimal performance, indicated by potential LED color changes. This patented technology enables consistent, perfect fuzz performance for the first time ever in this classic circuit design.
Enhanced control options expand the original's sonic palette while maintaining authentic vintage character. The original Filter and Volume controls preserve the classic MK1 response, while added Tone and Trim controls provide expanded sound-shaping capabilities. The pedal is designed to be buffer and pedal order friendly, with a tweaked output circuit optimized for modern pedalboard integration without pickup simulation dependencies.
