Chris Benson designed the Monarch while working as an amp technician in Portland, Oregon. Word spread, the wait list grew, and it became the amp players spent years trying to get their hands on.
The Mixwave Benson Monarch captures that amp in full, with American and British voicing modes, the Monarch cabinet, and a complete suite of Benson pedals: Germanium Boost, Germanium Fuzz, Preamp, and Tall Bird Reverb — plus two brand new additions, the Florist Chorus and Delay.
One amp. Endless tone. Try it free for 14 days.
Designed but never built.
The VT-15 takes the VT5 and VT7 even further for a more enhanced experience — a more utilitarian design with added mid range control in a channel strip format.
Free for owners of both. Available now.

For decades, Electro-Harmonix pedals have defined the sound across all genres. From the fuzz that powered generations of players to the chorus, flanger, and delay that became sonic signatures, these are the pedals behind the records you know by heart.
The Mixwave × Electro-Harmonix Pedal Suite captures each one with obsessive accuracy, preserving every nuance of the original hardware in a complete plugin bundle built for modern production.
The bundle includes the Big Muff Pi Suite, Classic, Ram’s Head, and Russian, alongside the Small Clone Chorus, Electric Mistress Flanger, and Deluxe Memory Man Analog Delay.
Six pedals. Fifty years of sound. Zero compromise.

MixWave Benson Monarch Collection
I’ve played through a lot of amp plugins over the years, but this one immediately felt different.
The new Benson collection doesn’t just “sound good.” It reacts like a real amp.
The pick attack, the compression, the harmonic bloom when you lean into notes… it has that addictive feel where you stop thinking about plugins and just keep playing.
Every sound you hear in this track was done entirely with the Benson collection.
No real amps. No extra amp sims. Just the Benson Monarch Collection.
Breakup tones feel incredibly alive, and when pushed, the sustain and harmonics have that rich, responsive Benson character that makes every phrase feel bigger and more expressive.
The Delay and modulation effects are also insanely musical subtle, warm, and inspiring in a way that naturally changes how you play.
Honestly one of the few plugin releases lately that made me forget I was playing digital.
Huge respect to the team for this one.

You know the riff. What you might not know is how much the Benson Monarch’s input and output EQ and filters can reshape your tone. Kent Crawley demonstrates. Owen Barry obliges.

The new @bensonamps Monarch plugin from @mixwave is such an understated powerhouse of tone, it’s actually SILLY. In a world of convolution and endless tweaking, I think this is a tremendously inspiring breath of fresh air. Two knobs, one switch, and an arsenal of essential pedals make this new collection my new go-to for an effortless tone. 🎛️👌🏼
