4.8 / 5 from over 500+ Google Reviews Buy from the best in AUS.

Having one of these amps in the shop is quite a rarity! The last used one we had a few years back lasted a few weeks and was shipped to Italy! The cost of these new would be around AUD$7900 but Benson are no longer making them in 240V if at all.

The 30watt Chimera Combo is for players who love the unique tone and bread-and-butter simplicity of the Monarch, but need it in a louder package for the big stage. Like other Bensons, it is fully hand-wired point to point on terminal strips using premium components and transformers.  Instead of the British-American switch, the Chimera has a bass control that takes the differences between the voices of the Monarch and makes them variable.  The tone controls are musical and versatile… it is hard to find a harsh sound!
