Benson STÖRKN B0kš Germanium Fuzz Pedal

The STÖRKN B0kš Fuzz Pedal is a highly unique and experimental fuzz, developed as an expanded version of the Stonk Box in collaboration with legendary guitarist David Torn.

Based on a heavily modified Tone Bender MK1-style circuit, the STÖRKN B0kš pushes into more extreme sonic territory with added low-end depth and unconventional behaviour. A variable bass control allows you to blend between tighter vintage-style fuzz and a fuller, heavier low-end response—ideal for down-tuned guitars and aggressive textures.

A standout feature is the positive feedback switch, introducing oscillation, subharmonic tones and synth-like textures. Designed for players who embrace unpredictability, this control opens up a wide range of experimental sounds and noise-based effects.

The pedal features an automatic thermal bias system, gently warming its germanium transistors to maintain consistent tone regardless of environmental conditions. After powering on, the circuit stabilises over a short warm-up period, ensuring optimal performance.

Raw, dynamic and highly interactive, the STÖRKN B0kš is suited to players looking for expressive, unconventional fuzz tones that go well beyond traditional designs.
