Born from a collaboration with Jessica Dobson, the multi-talented force behind Seattle’s Deep Sea Diver, the Benson Deep Sea Diver is a unique fuzz-echo pedal that combines vintage-inspired fuzz tones with rich, warm analog delay. Designed to be versatile yet intuitive, this pedal can be placed anywhere on your board and offers the flexibility to easily switch the order of fuzz and delay effects.
The Bias control lets you sculpt the Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo’s tonal character, offering everything from a deep, rumbling low-end to a sharp, cutting treble. For more experimental and edgy sounds, the Gate control is your go-to—turn it up, and your tone will break down into pieces.
The pedal’s intuitive design extends to the echo section, where the Feedback and Rate knobs allow you to fine-tune the delay’s speed and the number of repeats, effortlessly transitioning from delicate, shimmering echoes to rich, immersive soundscapes—all with just a few adjustments.
There ar also two “secret” functions to the footswitch:
- hold it down while on and the circuit will auto-oscillate.
- hold it down while turning it on, and the effect order will be flipped. A green light means fuzz into echo, while orange light echo into fuzz — Jessica’s favorite routing.
