Benson Chimera Reverb Combo
$3,495.00
This (Used) Benson Chimera Reverb Combo in Aunt Gertie covering is the coolest! Speakers date to 2019, so we’d guess this was born around 2020. Our favorite of the Benson covering materials. This is a 30-watt (4) 6V6- Based 2 x 12″ combo with a Reverb (short) tank. Very clean and all original- sounds killer. To our ears kind of a mash-up of Fender and British clean- no master volume. Makes a great pedal platform, but pushing the volume doesn’t take a lot to get this into a very nice overdrive. Single channel. Loaded with the Benson-branded Weber ceramic 30-watt speakers
This 30 watt head and 2×12 companion speaker cabinet 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!
