In this link https://www.instagram.com/p/CDe8OVPpYP6/?igshid=1hhwgr2p046w7 is an image of the special Deep Sea Diver limited edition Benson Pre Amp. In the caption Jessica mentions how she uses the Pre Amp a lot live and it’s “all over the new album”.
Her main guitar, she has been seen using it with The Shins, Divine FIts, and her curet band Deep Sea Diver. "My Fender Jazzmaster will always be my third arm. It’s the Elvis Costello custom shop reissue and I think best looking out of all the Jazzmasters ever released. It has a walnut stained body and a tortoise shell pick guard. It looks and sounds unreal."via {OC Pro Guitars](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151965811941694)

What do you love about Benson Amps? Is the Benson Tall Bird your primary reverb? As a fairly low wattage amp, do you find it to be enough live?
"I do well with very limited options concerning gear in general. I really like that the Benson Monarch is just Volume, Tone, and a Mid-range boost switch. It pairs really nicely with my Jazzmaster too.
The Benson Tall Bird is by far my favorite reverb that I’ve ever used and I use it all the time. It’s all tube and really rich sounding. You can get some pretty huge cavernous sounds out of it without losing any volume (that’s the biggest downfall of the Holy Grail) and it’s never splashy or thin sounding. If I had to go with a pedal instead of the Tall Bird, I would definitely pick up a Strymon Blue Sky.
I personally don’t mind that it is a lower wattage amp, but I’m sure that if I joined Swans I wouldn’t be bringing it with me."

...the Brothers, which I also love, is a little fuzzier. And it has a fuzz on it too, which I like using. It's really versatile.

In this video, Jessica Dobson says:
Once I started playing with Beck I like really was listening for like the right...I picked up a Foxx fuzz, the octave. We've talked about that one. It's one of my favorite pedals too. I don't have it on my board because it's too big.

Respected local audio craftsmen Christopher Benson of Benson Amps and Steve Harmon of Synthrotek joined forces to form Harben Audio, and have thus far released a handful of excellent, handbuilt, yet very affordable, effects pedals. The company's Synesthesia is one of the best sounding and most versatile Colorsound Overdrive clones on the market, maximizing the potential of this time-tested circuit so that it can be used effectively as a clean boost, sweet overdrive, filthy fuzz, or even a very musical sounding, easy-to-tweak EQ. - See more at: http://tonereport.com/blogs/lifestyle/8-pedal-makers-that-rule-portland-oregon#sthash.cs5pdGQX.dpuf
