When you hold down the switch, you also get a remarkably accurate tap tempo footswitch that doubles as an infinite fountain of self-oscillation.

Benson Amps’ boutique creations are renowned worldwide for impeccable designs and superior sonics — this delay unit is a more than fitting addition to the company’s impressive stable of top-class creations!Analog inspiration meets digital processing power As one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier boutique amplifier builders, Chris Benson and company have a long history of repairing and maintaining old-school delay pedals and vintage tape delay units. In fact, Benson Amps tells Sweetwater that the company’s experience with and love of those devices directly inspired the Benson Amps Delay’s sonic voice. So, why go with a digital chip instead of an all-analog pedal? Simple: After extensive testing with the most revered bucket brigade chips, Benson Amps found that the digital PT2399 chip could be voiced to capture all the gooey depth and vibe of analog while providing far more versatility. Combined with a compander chip, analog filtering, and extremely precise gain staging, the Benson Amps Delay pedal is a digital pedal with the soul (and the sonics) of an old-school analog classic.Adjustable LFO section and top-tier tap tempo In addition to the Benson Amps Delay’s familiar Mix, Time, and Feedback controls, this pedal also sports a robust LFO section that allows you to sweep between lush chorus-like sounds, vibrant vibrato, and glacial-paced textured soundscapes. What makes it so versatile? By holding down the Benson Amps Delay’s tap tempo switch, you can alter the LFO’s waveform from sine to square to even random waveforms for glitched-out goodness. As for the tap tempo, Benson Amps describes it as “the most accurate tap tempo ever applied to the PT2399” chip,” and we’d be hard-pressed to deny that claim! Moreover, you can drive the Benson Amps Delay into psychedelic self-oscillation by accessing the tap tempo’s alternate hold function (simply keep the switch depressed), transforming your 6-string’s tone into spacey sci-fi sounds and wild, never-ending sustain.Benson Amps: supplying boutique tone since 2012 The quest for the ultimate tone can lead guitarists down a seemingly endless path. For Christopher Benson, a self-described "relentless tinkerer," the journey led him to take matters into his own hands. After stints as an amp tech around the Pacific Northwest — and with his flagship Monarch amplifier design already in tow — Benson introduced his eponymous company in 2012. Leveraging meticulous quality, practical expertise, premium components, and a passion for vintage-inspired design, the Oregon-based outfit aims to create original circuits that effortlessly transition from euphoric, rich cleans to glorious harmonic distortion with a mere change in pick attack. Whether it's a meticulously handcrafted pedal or a no-compromise handwired amplifier, players seeking tonal nirvana owe it to themselves to plug into one of Benson Amps' heirloom-quality offerings.Benson Amps Delay Pedal Features: Digital reverb pedal based on the PT2399 chip, voiced to capture all the warmth and vibe of the best analog delay pedals and vintage tape units Massive 30–1250ms delay time covers everything from rockabilly slapback to spaced-out ambient dreamscapes Repeats are voiced to provide you with lush, chaotic, and utterly analog-like degradation Extensive LFO section transforms your tone with warbly modulation and subtle pitch shifting, with three waveforms to choose from: Square, Sine, and Random Remarkably accurate tap tempo function, which can be toggled to cycle between quarter, dotted-eight, and sixteenth-note tap divisions Secondary Hold function on the tap tempo footswitch unlocks never-ending self-oscillation for screaming sci-fi sound effects and infinite sustain SpecificationDetail Pedal Type Delay Analog/Digital Digital Max Delay Time 1250ms Tap Tempo Yes Inputs 1 x 1/4" Outputs 1 x 1/4" Power Source 9V DC power supply (sold separately) Power Usage 100mA RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
