Benson Amps Chimera Reverb 2x12 Combo Amplifier Aged Tweed/Oxblood
by Benson Amps
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!
