The Benson Chimera is an amp loaded with rich harmonics, dynamic touch response, shimmering cleans, and smooth, singing overdrive with a unique blend of American warmth and British-inspired chime! We captured the entire gain range of this amp at all of the key points where it’s breakup, drive, and compression characteristics shift. Rather than simply capturing random amplifier settings, each gain level and EQ setting was carefully selected to represent a distinct and musical stage of the amplifier's response. The level of breakup/gain is represented by the number in the capture name: Clean (1), Edge of Breakup (2), Breakup (3), Driven (4), Driven + (5), Driven ++ (6). We are bringing new life into our captures by utilizing our XR studio processes, as used in our XR IR packs, to further enhance our captures. With each pack, you will get raw and studio-refined captures that deliver exceptional feel, clarity, and tone across all gain variants. WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FULL PACK - 24 Amp + Cab Captures: TF BNSN CHIMERA 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) - NORMAL TF BNSN CHIMERA 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) - ENHANCED TF BNSN CHIMERA 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) - TOP BOOST TF BNSN CHIMERA 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) - MID SHIFT GAIN OPTIONS The amp gain options are represented by the number in the name, with the lowest being cleanest and the highest being the dirtiest: 1 - CLEAN 2 - EDGE OF BREAKUP 3 - BREAKUP 4 - DRIVEN 5 - DRIVEN + 6 - DRIVEN ++ These are rough descriptions of approximate amp gain amounts. You should try them all and choose based on your tone preference!
