The Pro
The Pro is a design that I have been working on for years; a that has all the "essentials" for musicians seeking "multi-" in a box. Easier said than done, considering the plethora of effects that musicians use today. After much feedback, the Pro was created.
This unit features a Compressor, a low and high gain Overdrive, Delay, Reverb, and Tuner (Peterson Strobostomp Classic). The unit is a great compliment to your favorite stand alone pedals that you just can't live without, which can be implemented via the on-board patch bay. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the intense features of each effect unit.

PF-STEEL DREAM II

April 2025
After a lengthy and unexpected three-year hiatus, things are finally looking up! I am excited to announce that the latest version of the PF-Steel Dream, PF Steel Dream II, is now available for pre-order. The second batch of this new item has already sold out. Please be patient, as I have only recently resumed full production after a three-year hiatus due to the parts shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please use the drop-down option and choose your version accordingly.
(Please note: If you choose a B-stock item, it still needs to be built fresh as new.) Please Don't choose Media Mail as your shipping option. Media Mail is for CDs, Books, and Records. Shippers won't accept my Package if it was paid for via Media Mail. Thank You!
STEEL DREAMS DO COME TRUE
The original PF Steel Dream was developed with Paul Franklin 12 years ago. Paul was introduced to the product in late 2011 and requested a designed unit for Pedal Steel players.I was curious about the effects they would require, and after several discussions, Paul narrowed it down to a medium-gain Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb. Thus, the PF Steel Dream was created. Since its release in 2012, Paul Franklin has been using it exclusively in the studio and live performances. In recent years, I have been working on upgrading the original Steel Dream by adding some features that would enhance its usability. Paul Franklin agreed to the changes and gave the green light to implement them. Say hello to the new "PF Steel Dream II."

The Lazar
Benado Effects - Analog Modulation Pedalboard.
Sold Out
-
Modulate your Soundwaves
The Lazar was constructed in memory of my late father, who was a Sea Captain. Constantly working with sea wave currents and tides, I decided to built an all modulated board, as modulation is based on different waveforms.
The Lazar features 5 amazing modulation pedals (Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo), including dual Parallel Delays with a blend option! This unit is a great compliment to your favorite overdrive pedals, which can be implemented via the on-board patch bay. There is much more to the Lazar than meets the eye. You will be amazed how versatile this unit is. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the intense features of each modulation unit.
