Benson Amp Germanium Fuzz Pedal - Solar White Benson Amps Germanium Boost Pedal: Pure Germanium Tone EnhancementFrom Benson Amps:"When designing the temperature-controlled fuzz we tried some weird approaches. One of the things we tried was utilizing a voltage-controlled error-correcting circuit to bias a single germanium transistor. It ultimately didn't work for the fuzz since that circuit is comically sensitive to transistor gain attributes. We did find a place for it though."Perfect Germanium Clean BoostIt turns out it was PERFECT for achieving a germanium clean boost that (like our fuzz) is impervious to component drift, leakage, and temperature...more so, in fact. We also fixed a couple of other issues preventing the germanium transistor from being used as a convincing linear boost...we increased the input headroom (even a normal guitar signal will drive a germanium transistor into unwanted input distortion without some tweaks) and increased the input impedance (a BJT transistor wo
