The Benson Monarch is Chris Benson's flagship design and it didn't stop there. Everything else that's been created afterward is pretty much voiced after this original circuitry. And it really sounds fantastic.
As Chris says on his website, it's not based on or copied from any other one amp, but really just an influence of 30 different types of things that he's liked over the years, which gives this amp a completely unique sound and vibe.
