The Benado Standard: Built for the Pro

Each Benado unit is a handcrafted work of art, hand-wired and tested one-by-one to the same rigorous standards required by my professional touring and recording clientele. Because I refuse to compromise on the high-grade components necessary for elite signal integrity, lead times are subject to parts availability. By choosing Benado, you are prioritizing uncompromising tone and the "Feel Factor" over mass-production speed.

  • Deluxe is the new Black

For those who love the legendary sound of 1960s Vibrato amps—whether you've always wished you owned one or find yours too heavy to transport from gig to gig—look no further. Endorsed by Richard Bennett, the RB Deluxe Plus was designed to deliver authentic Vibrato amp tone, such as the legendary Fender amps, through an easy plug-and-play board with maximum portability. It features a medium-gain overdrive, tremolo, and delay. Click on the Effects/Routing and Specs sub-tabs to view detailed information about the versatile features of each effect unit. In addition, you can also order the standard Deluxe Black (listed in the dropdown above), which features the same overdrive and tremolo but replaces the delay with the Adverb reverb.

***This is a pre-order item. Each unit is handmade and hand-assembled as orders are received. Please allow 8-14 weeks for completion.

Production has resumed following supply chain delays. Units are being built according to the waiting list and prepaid order queue as components become available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
