Mint Condition Essentially brand new, no cosmetic blemishes, baseplate has no dual lock or velcro. See photos.On offer here is a minty-fresh Benson Delay. There is a surprising amount of versatility hidden in this pedal beyond your standard delay parameters with the LFO knobs and, like all Benson pedals, it's sturdy and built beautifully. From slapback and tape echo to chorus and long, warbly delays, this pedal does it all and has a convincingly analog feel.I hate to part with it, but went through a burst of acquiring delays and need to downsize. This example is in absolutely mint condition and has only been played a handful of times in a smoke free home. Comes with box and goodies pictured here, but not Mando or Grogu.Thanks for looking!From the Benson site:SOUNDDrawing inspiration from our history in tape and bucket brigade echo servicing, our design goal was creating floaty and colorful repeats with a chaotic yet musical degradation. That’s the heart of the thing, the whole point.RANGE With a 30ms-1250ms range, the Benson delay goes fast enough to do chorus, vibrato and slapback, and slow enough to create blurred and haunted soundscapes, with a whole spectrum of warbly musical sounds in between. ALIENS Hold down the tap knob to boost feedback for some self oscillation! Perfect for holding notes out, and especially for making alien invasion noises in tandem with the time knob (within a toe’s reach). Works when the feedback knob is up a bit. Does not introduce unwanted clicking sounds into the signal path. Adjustable via internal trim pot.WARBLEThe Low Frequency Oscillator has a tremendous range of both speed and depth, as well as sine, square and random waveforms. Does warble, seasick, tape flutter, all the good sounds. TAPThe Benson Delay has the most accurate tap tempo ever applied to the PT2399 thanks to Bontempo, an open source technology concocted by Antoine Ricoux at Electric Canary, which was then refined and implemented by film colorist Octave Zangs (two geniuses). Each pedal CALIBRATES ITSELF IT’S SO COOL.SMOOTHWe wanted to avoid the more modern issues of delay design; like the digital jaggedness that can come from adjusting the time control on a digitally clocked device, whether analog or a fully digital simulation (HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?). In other words, let’s not assume the aforementioned aliens have glitchy spaceships.
