Benson Amps Monarch 15 Watt - Aunt Gertie

The Monarch from Benson Amps was designed on the back of a lifetime of electrical curiosity and service. Chris Benson's vast knowledge of amps led him to design his perfect amp- and instead of a do-it-all model loaded with bells and whistles, he opted for a simple Volume/Tone design with a voice switch for British or American. Meticulously handwired with the finest components, and constructed to tour-grade stability- Benson is a professional tube amplifier fit for any player and will find itself at home in the finest studios
