Bennett Custom Audio’s Lighthouse Pedal

Bennett Custom Audio’s Lighthouse Pedal

A contemporary, pedal-sized take on vintage, tremolo-equipped tube amplifiers, the Lighthouse deliversauthentic edge-of-breakup, overdriven amp tones, and selectable Harmonic or Bias tremolo.


Adding to their line of boutique guitar pedals, Bennett Custom Audio introduces the Lighthouse Amplitude Modulating Amplifier. A contemporary, pedal-sized take on vintage, tremolo-equipped tube amplifiers, the Lighthouse deliversauthentic edge-of-breakup, overdriven amp tones, and selectable Harmonic or Bias tremolo.

With two dual-function footswitches, the Lighthouse allows you to ramp up and down the tremolo effect, with tap tempo capability for setting the effect’s speed. The pedal implements BCA’s new proprietary high-voltage internal power circuitry – delivering massive headroom, low noise, and consistent performance.

The Lighthouse represents a new design philosophy for BCA, as founder Mark Bennett pushes to capture vintage, sought-after tones by combining modern technology with classic design techniques.

Notable Lighthouse features include:

  • All-analog signal path, featuring a discrete pre-amp w/gain control and high-headroom output stage
  • Two tremolo modes: Harmonic & Bias – selectable with a two-position toggle switch – with each having a separate, individually-tuned signal path to best capture the sound of their respective style of tremolo
  • Analog controls for Gain, Presence, Volume, Wet/Dry Mix, and Tilt EQ. The Tilt EQ acts only on the wet signal, allowing for interesting tonal contrasts between the dry and wet signals
  • Digitally controlled LFO with standard rate & intensity controls, tap tempo w/ multipliers, and momentary rate ramping activated via the footswitches
  • 3 LFO waveforms selectable via a dedicated 3-position toggle switch: Square, Sine, and Sawtooth. In bias mode, the square wave activates “chop” mode, where the intensity controls the wave’s duty cycle (on and off time) rather than the depth
  • Proprietary high-voltage internal power circuitry: Powered by any 9-24VDC external power supply, it internally delivers a clean 30VDC split-rail voltage to the audio circuitry for consistent, reliable performance
  • Relay-based true bypass switching, top-mounted jacks
  • Bi-color indicator LED that pulses with the LFO, giving a visual indicator of the LFO’s settings

Each Lighthouse is proudly hand-assembled in St. John’s, NL, Canada using high-quality, globally sourcedcomponents. MSRP is $379 CAD (approx. $275 USD), available exclusively through our website.

After 26 years, the seminal noisy rockers return to the studio to create Rack, a master class of pummeling, machine-like grooves, raving vocals, and knotty, dissonant, and incisive guitar mayhem.

The last time the Jesus Lizard released an album, the world was different. The year was 1998: Most people counted themselves lucky to have a cell phone, Seinfeld finished its final season, Total Request Live was just hitting MTV, and among the year’s No. 1 albums were Dave Matthews Band’s Before These Crowded Streets, Beastie Boys’ Hello Nasty, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Korn’s Follow the Leader, and the Armageddonsoundtrack. These were the early days of mp3 culture—Napster didn’t come along until 1999—so if you wanted to hear those albums, you’d have to go to the store and buy a copy.

Computerized processes have given repair techs the power to deliver you a better-playing guitar. But how do they work?

When we need to get our guitars fixed by a professional, a few nagging questions run through our heads: Will the repair specialist be thorough? Will their procedures ensure an optimal sounding and easy-to-play instrument, or will they merely perform cursory work to make the guitar somewhat playable without resolving underlying issues? Have they followed the tested advancements in understanding, tools, and techniques, or are they stuck in the ideas of the ’70s?

Plenty of excellent musicians work day jobs to put food on the family table. So where do they go to meet their music community?

Being a full-time musician is a dream that rarely comes to pass. I’ve written about music-related jobs that keep you close to the action, and how more and more musicians are working in the music-gear industry, but that’s not for everyone. Casual players and weekend warriors love music as much as the hardcore guitarists who are bent on playing full time, but they may have obligations that require more consistent employment.
