The Benson Deep Sea Diver is a seriously cool, character-packed fuzz pedal. It's built for players who want a thick, vintage fuzz sound with a splash of self-modulated echo – think psychedelic rock, shoegaze, or anything needing that extra layer of sonic texture. This is a niche pedal, but in its lane, it delivers a unique vibe.
Product Description

- Controls: Bias
- Gate
- Echo
- Volume
- Feedback

PROS
- • Jessica Dobson's signature tone captured well; thick, saturated fuzz character.
- • Integrated PT2399 delay adds unique textural possibilities beyond standard fuzz.
- • Flexible order switching (Fuzz > Echo or Echo > Fuzz) expands sonic options.
- • Bias control allows for fine-tuning of the fuzz's clipping characteristics.
CONS
- • Limited tonal versatility; excels in specific, saturated fuzz territory.
- • Power consumption (100mA) might be restrictive for some power supply setups.
- • The delay's PT2399 chip can introduce some noise at higher feedback settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Gate primarily tames unwanted oscillation and cleans up the low-end when using higher gain settings, offering more controlled sustain.
No, the delay time is intrinsically linked to the 'Rate' control, offering a modulated, rather than precisely adjustable, echo effect.
Unlike many which offer digital delays, the Deep Sea Diver uses an analog PT2399, providing a warmer, more vintage-flavored echo, but with less precise timing control.
