Benson Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo

---

Deep Sea Diver

In association with Jessica Dobson from the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver, this pedal takes her signature sound (fuzz and delay) and puts it into one box. Though, simply calling it a ‘gated fuzz pedal with an echo feature’ would be an injustice to its essence! Beyond the splatty gated sounds, it's a fuzz that can get wooly and straight forward, or shake hands with your favorite gauzy My Bloody Valentine textures. It cleans up nice and works as a treble booster for guitar solos, or sounds like a foreign landscape of oscillation and interrupting textures.

The echo is from a tweaked data-sheet PT2399 that is perfectly tuned to the fuzz side and has the standard time, feedback and level (echo) controls. Holding down the footswitch will send the echo into sustained feedback at some settings, which, in conjunction with a short delay time, is a sound that can be found all over DSD records.

One unique feature of the Fuzz-Echo is the ability to change the fuzz and echo orders, this is done by powering the pedal on while the footswitch is depressed. The LED will be green if fuzz is before echo, and orange if echo is before fuzz. The Fuzz-Echo does not care where it is in the signal chain, or what guitar (or bass! or synth!) is used. It will have a small amount of hiss, even on “cleaner” settings.
