This Aunt Gertie'd Redland 35 head is going to @rj_ronquillo (welcome to Portland, RJ! Glad you are here).

The Redland is different from anything we've built in the past, yet still uniquely Benson. Release day is fast approaching!

We're down to the very last of our Robin's Egg fabric. We've got enough left for 2 combos or a head and cab set, so if you have been thinking about it, maybe this will push you over the edge.

Here's a Bellringer 1x12 combo in this endangered finish.

The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are dropping. That means it's time for warm beverages! And what better way to deliver them to your face than a handcrafted ceramic travel mug featuring the Benson logo?

💖 This Tallbird Plus plus we made for @celissemusic is resplendent in it's pinkosity. 💖

Also, it's literally the most impossible finish to photograph. It's more of an in person multi-media experience.

Twin Monarch Plus and 1x12 setups for @moodymill and @jason_mraz in a (2) of a kind finish.

Nerdy detail alert, but if you look close you can see that the fabric pattern transitions seamlessly from the top of the headshell to the front panel. 🤌

We love our wrapping team. ❤️

We would be remiss if we didn't tell you that our Oversized 1x12 cabinet (with our Custom Alnico speaker) is the perfect companion to Benson The Amp. In fact, it's what we used to voice Benson The Amp and it's built in cab simulation.

The Amps out of the bag!

Meet Benson the Amp. It's a Chimera style high voltage tube preamp married to a 100 watt solid state class D power amp...with a number of other very helpful features.

Benson Amps has come a long way since Chris built the first Monarch in his garage way back in 2012. We've learned a lot about building amps since then (like which rubber feet and finish combo won't chemically react to each other), but it makes us proud that #001 is still out there making music.

Spring reverb and tremolo have been with us since the dawn of tone, but they've evolved very little in the last 100 million years. The Tallbird Plus keeps everything we love about these primeval effects, while reducing the bad stuff increasing the creative possibilities.

This TB+ belongs to @seal

At 35 watts, the Bellringer is loud enough for any stage and makes a great clean pedal platform, but thanks to our tube driven Power Scaling and 1x12 form factor, it's also at home in clubs and coffee shops.

This one recently played Red Rocks with @timhanseroth and @brandicarlile

On today's episode of Bensayin' we explore what is possibly the most versatile, do-it-all amp that we make...the Bellringer. It can roar and it can whisper! Watch the whole video on our YouTube channel.

(Sorry, Led Zeppelin).
