Benson Amps Chimera Reverb 2x12 Combo Amplifier Aged Tweed/Oxblood
2x12 combo version of the Chimera amp with reverb! This is for players who love the unique tone and bread-and-butter simplicity of the Monarch, but need it in a louder package for the big stage. Like other Bensons, it is fully hand-wired point to point on terminal strips using premium components and transformers. Instead of the British-American switch, the Chimera has a bass control that takes the differences between the voices of the Monarch and makes them variable. The tone controls are musical and versatile… it is hard to find a harsh sound!Specs: 4 x JJ 6V6, 2 x JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes, 12DW7 reverb driver, 5AR4 rectifier 30 watts Speaker outputs: 1 x 4 ohm Dimensions/weight: 27" wide 20" tall 10" deep 50 lbs Build: Point to point construction on terminal strips *no circuit, eyelet or turret board* Custom Sours Output transformer, Heyboer Power transformer Carbon Comp resistors Mallory 150 Capacitors Dovetailed pine speaker cabinet Benson Custom 30 Ceramic speakers
