Milkman x Benson The Amp

Milkman x Benson – The Amp: The Benson DNA, now in a grab-and-go powerhouse

Some collaborations feel instantly legendary—and The Amp: Benson Edition is one of them. After years of development , Milkman Sound and Benson Amps join forces to create something truly unique: the iconic Benson Chimera/Monarch preamp in the compact, road-ready form factor of The Amp.

The result? A hand-built tone machine that sounds, responds, and feels like a genuine Benson tube amp, but without the lugging.

Like the other Amp models, it can drive a speaker cabinet directly , but can also drive it effortlessly in the studio via the balanced XLR output with switchable cab sim , line outs, and a powerful headphone amp . Perfect for home, stage, and recording—without compromise.

Chris Benson personally tuned the cab sim to sound almost identical to his own ceramic speakers . New is the Room Control : a subtle simulation of the early reflections you normally hear when a real amp breathes into the room. This works not only on the direct outs but even through the speaker out—ideal for quiet stages and ISO cab setups that could use a little more depth.

As always, tonality is central:

• Sparkling cleans

• Sultry edge-of-breakup sounds

• Full tube overdrive , especially with the internal boost

Everything is contained within that simple, clear top-panel control. No fuss, just pure tone.

And as you would expect from Milkman, hand-built in California using only the very best components.

The Amp: Benson Edition brings the complete Benson experience to an ultra-practical size — perfect for guitarists who demand the best, wherever they play.
