Benson Redland 35 in Aunt Gertie "Free Shipping in the US"

Brand new from Benson: Developed, designed, tweaked, and tested over the course of many years, the Redland Reverb Combo is a unique design that is aimed directly at the extended American palette of tones. It has an entirely unique tone stack that draws inspiration from sounds as varied as Dumble and Peavey. We sought to bring the touch sensitivity and FEEL of the Benson brand to preamp types that are cleaner in essence but can sound big and fat and juicy when you dig in.

The VOLUME, WATTAGE and REVERB CONTROLS are pretty standard Benson fare. The BASS and TREBLE controls are where the rubber meets the road so to speak.
BASS moves a sizable scoop up and down the frequency spectrum...starting at 100HZ and ending around 1K. This essentially cuts bass at the lowest setting, and ends up cutting into the treble at the highest setting. It might seem strange, and it is, but the results need to be experienced to be properly understood as being VERY versatile in tandem with the special treble control....more versatile than your average Treble-Middle-Bass tone stack...with this you can pick the frequency points to feature and conversely what to cut.
It just ends up sounding very BIG.
TREBLE is a treble roll off, but instead of the typical 6db/ octave slope found in most guitar amps, it is 12db/octave....much steeper...with eq points selected with great care for guitar.
This is the heart of the Redland...the Redland EQ. We’ve also incorporated a small amount of global negative feedback to slow the response envelope of the amp to bring some extra fattness to the feel and response.BrandBensonModelRedland 35FinishAunt Gertie w/ Oxblood Grill ClothSKUAP083-NHandednessRightMade In Year2026Power OutputVariable from 1 watt to 35 watts, depending on versionPower Tubes2x 6L6 (35-watt version)Preamp Tubes2x 12AX7Reverb Tube1x 12DW7Power-Scaling Tube1x 6L6GC used as a voltage regulatorChannels1SpeakerBenson Custom 12" Ceramic Speaker (combo models)Speaker Outputs1x 8-ohm, 1x 16-ohmControlsVolume, Bass, Treble, Reverb, WattageReverbTube-driven reverbConstructionPoint-to-point wiring on terminal strips; no circuit, eyelet, or turret boardComponentsCustom Soursound transformers, wax-potted output transformer, Jupiter Yellow capacitorsCabinetDovetailed pine
