I've seen you rave about the Benson Boost for years, and I've come to really refine what I look for in my own tones thanks to your channel, Ambient Endeavors and some others. I've held off on a boost for a long time (or at least on a dedicated boost) and finally after this video decided to get one (in the LBE exclusive color-way of course). Man... this thing will never leave my main board and will never be turned off. I really just can't go back lol. At first I don't think I understood the attention it got, at least not fully. But the more I played without paying attention to it the more I felt comfortable with it. Then I turned it off and I realized how much it was actually doing for me. What a discrete but powerful tool, expertly demonstrated in this video.
I got mine a few days ago and it surprised me how amazing it sounds! I didn't expect that from a "simple" boost pedal. Couldn't agree more with your video:) Thanks Mark!
Can't argue with you there. I'm only just discovering it at the moment, but I already LOVE that it can also lower volume but with its magic-sauce. I went into a high-gain Friedman IR-X with a Celestion G12-80 Classic Lead IR (Bonamassa style) and rolled off the pedals volume and its just releases the funk-kraken :D. This thing is insane!
Running it back to watch, could you make more videos on showing us how to build songs as far as recording them goes and maybe how to get stated recording our own music including bass
interesting. what if you run the synths through the boosts without the canvas reamp boxes? you'd get a line level going throught the boosts, will that not work?
Great video, but that X-files soundtrack while you are talking is equally distractive and creepy. Since you say something interesting, there is really no need for it (IMHO)...
It’s effective for making background noise aka my wife’s work phone calls in the next room. Honestly that’s almost entirely the point of the music beds I make for the talking points.
