Benson Chimera 30 Watt Guitar Amp

CHIMERA 30 WATT GUITAR AMPLIFIER   This 30 watt head and 2x12 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 Mercury Magnetics transformers.  Instead of a 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!     Specs 4 x JJ 6V6, 2 x JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes, 5AR4 rectifier 30 watts   Speaker outputs: 1 x 8 ohm, 1 x 16 ohm Dimensions/weight Head 18.5”W 8”H 8”D 22 lbs Cabinet 18.5”W 34”H 10”D 35 lbs Build Point to point construction on terminal strips *no circuit, eyelet or turret board* Mercury Magnetics transformers Carbon Comp resistors Jupiter Capacitors DC filments for low noise Dovetailed
