Benson Chimera into Benson Custom Ceramic
This capture is based on my Benson Chimera running into a Weber-made Benson Custom Ceramic speaker. This amp has a very distinct voice compared to many others. It also features Mercury Magnetics transformers, which contribute to its uniquely tasteful breakup and feel. The amp has a noticeable midrange forwardness and punch while remaining balanced and controlled. The low end and top end stay tight, and the breakup holds together while remaining punchy, even as the amp becomes more saturated.
The Benson Custom Ceramic speaker pairs extremely well with this amp. It has a sweet, controlled top end, a subtly scooped midrange compared to a 6402 cone Greenback, and a strong low-end presence that never gets out of control.
The amp was tube rolled to achieve the most balanced eq and tasteful breakup response.
This purchase includes one capture using a Shure 545 into an API 512c preamp.
V2 captures do not include lifetime updates. Lifetime updates were limited to V1 capture purchases.
