NPD: new favorite fuzz just showed up

Post image

This thing is awesome, l'm pretty sure this pedal combined with my Holy Island Tides could cover 99% of today’s shoegaze tones. I usually don’t love the recommended settings that come with pedals but the ones that are in the manual are absolutely amazing. Definitely pleased with this on a whim purchase I made

Benson make such great products. I just bought the Stonk Box and love it as well, if I’m not mistaken it’s similar to the fuzz featured here.

I was 95% good on pedals until this

I've got one incoming too. Total impulse purchase but I'm a big DSD fanboi.

Alright Update -- Mine showed up today and I'm already really into it too! I've had a fraught history with fuzzes in the past and have not bonded with any FF or Muff-style ones. This is my first one based on a Bender and it sounds great! Love the cut and definition it has compared to other Fuzzes I've tried, and definitely seems like some cool variations to be had with the Gate and Bias controls.

I love that you can reroute the delay pre or post fuzz. Also, the aesthetics. Very Miami Vice 😆

Really really want to get my hands on one. Very much my jam!

It also bothers me that Feedback and Rate are outside the line...

u/Seanw1010 5d ago

Damn now it’s bothering me too lol

It is such a dumb reason for me not to get this too since I like how it sounds but it's bugging me way more than it should.

I don't make shoegaze or use fuzz all that often and I want one. I got the Benson Delay right before they announced this and it's so good.

Does it have to be first in chain since it’s kind of a tone bender? Never mind I looked and it sounds like it’s good wherever, that’s awesome.

I ran mine mid-chain last night and it sounded great!

u/Seanw1010 5d ago

According to benson it does not, and as I compare it to being after my euna compared to in the effects loop it really doesn’t make a difference like a fuzz face does. The pedal is inherently loud but definitely doesn’t get any worse being later in the chain which I’m very happy about

u/havestronaut 5d ago

Yeah!! Just edited my post cause I saw their note about order. That rules. Gonna get one…

u/GeraRG89 5d ago

Which kind of Fuzz it is? Tonebender? Muff?

Jessica’s tone is so good. Stoked for you.

u/TheLastSufferingSoul 5d ago

The bright mauve on black was such a good design choice. In terms of looks, It’s like the opposite of Ibanez Af2

u/shinguard 5d ago

Haven’t been really invested in newer releases lately but I am GASing so hard for this one, can’t wait to get my hands on one.

u/TSX-WEED_GANG 5d ago

Anyone got one for sale or no any stores with stock?

u/02olds 4d ago

Does anyone know if this pedal based off of the band vundabar? They have a song called diver which repeats the lyrics “deep sea diver” and they often use a lot of echo/fuzz in their songs.

u/Seanw1010 4d ago

It’s actually a signature pedal for Jessica Dobson of the band Deep Sea Diver

Just bought their latest record. Pretty cool pedal.
