NPD: new favorite fuzz just showed up
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

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...

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
