This is one of the coolest Benson combos we’ve had in our shop. When Benson first started their business, their signature color scheme featured white fabric. The white tolex on this amp is a nod to those early days, offering a similar aesthetic while providing greater durability thanks to its material.
From Benson Amps:
“People have asked us for a few years now to make a Vinny Combo. We listened, and then some. We took the basic beloved Vinny circuit, and we added a tone control, Tall Bird style spring reverb, and power scaling which is uniquely driven by a tube, not a silicon MOSFET! Perfect for rocking out during Covid times without getting evicted.”
