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.
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.
***This is a pre-paid order. All units are handmade and assembled as orders are received. Please allow at least 8-14 weeks to complete your unit.
***Individual Effect Pedal Descriptions coming soon!
Due to lingering supply chain challenges, parts availability has experienced delays, which may cause order completion to take longer than usual. Please be patient as I am building units according to the waiting list and prepaid order queue as components arrive at the shop. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
