This Benson Delay is a clever little box offering a surprising amount of character for the price. The warm, modulated echoes are genuinely inspiring, and the tap tempo is spot-on. It's a great option for players seeking creative delay textures without the complexity of a full-blown multi-effect unit – especially those exploring ambient and experimental soundscapes.

Frequently Asked Questions

The modulation is more subtle and textural than a classic chorus; it's more of a warble and shimmer than a thick, swirling effect.
Yes, the feedback control can easily reach self-oscillation territory, but that's part of the fun – it's designed for those creative soundscapes.
It handles both cleanly and with distortion quite well, retaining clarity with clean signals and adding a thick, saturated quality with overdrive/distortion.
