Benson Bellringer 1x12" Combo Night Moves, Wheat Grill

Benson Bellringer Combo in a stunning Night Moves Tolex!

Meet the Benson Bellringer – a fresh take on the iconic Chimera amplifier, with an innovative twist: a built-in Power Scaling circuit . While the Chimera is known for its rich dynamics and harmonic complexity, the Bellringer adds a new level of control and versatility.

At the heart of this combo is a pair of EL34 power tubes , delivering a powerful midrange and a harmonically rich character with that typical British edge. Unique to the Bellringer is the way it uses a 6L6 tube as a variable voltage regulator—allowing you to steplessly reduce the power from 35 watts down to just 1 watt . This allows you to enjoy the full, cranked tone of an overdriven tube amp, even at bedroom levels.

The result? Authentic Benson dynamics , with just the right amount of sag, compression, and fuzz-like saturation at lower volumes. Combine that with the responsive feel and transparency Benson is known for, and you have an amp that sounds as good in the studio as it does on stage.

The Bellringer 1x12 Combo offers the best of both worlds: the open, expressive character of the Chimera, plus the flexibility of modern power control — all packaged in a hand-built, stylish combo that sounds like it came straight from Portland's finest workshop.
