Benson Amps: Delay

Thanks Andy. Your still the Review Ninja!

You fixed the level balance! Nice work, Andy!

The intro jam was killer. It has a Glass Beams air to it. 🤘🤙

Nice one Andy!!! Benson builds good stuff!

And i sold the benson fuzz. It keeps changing it tone. Very often. I hate it. I sold it.

Best jams from this guy.

Very cool! I'd always associated PT2399 delays with being very lofi, like the Death By Audio Echo Dream, but the Benson Delay is a whole other thing. I like it!

I assume Andy listens to the Mermen. 🔥

That new blue LP is one of my favorite Andy guitars now. The others are the Red Tail goldtop and the Ibanez Destroyer!

Does this magical thing do trails?

the delay sounds itself aren’t that exciting or unique but I really like the weird modulated tones you can get with it.

That intro was sick!!!

This is the first time in a long time I've been tempted by a new delay pedal. A few good tricks and extra controls beyond the basics, but not so much to get bogged down and it sounds really nice (doesn't hurt that Andy is such a pro ;-)).

and it is barbaric 👌👌

It's a delay

I am hearing the same input clipping as I heard on Mark Johnston's video. Is the lack of headroom on this causing that buzzy clipping sound?
Nice sounds and playing as always and I love the design- shoutout to the jack deville ACV deluxe layout.

If this thing were stereo with a ping-pong switch it would be the absolute do-all perfect delay pedal for me.

I really liked the into-track, Andy. 🤘🏻

The guitar player from Rival Sons needs one of these.

As ever, you make every toy necessary for my arsenal. But I thought my delay game was pretty set. You’ve opened up a new yen for me. Wonderful. Benson rocks.

Love that Barbaric from blur. Enjoying that with the Rubberneck delay after watching also your previous demo Andy. I bet they’re identical 😬

Another PT2399 delay that is also great is the Mad Professor Deep Blue Delay. When not modulated, the Benson Delay shares some similarities with it, to my ear.

Remember, always play the clean tone, and dont use a pick. Those are key to being a successful demo channel. 😂 loved your appearance on JHS. Lol

Wow to turn and old Zeppelin grove and flip it on it head write and create an entire new song that has the style of Zep but so original and dark your creativity is off the charts Andy!😊

BARBARIC! Dude, that’s become my favorite Blur song. So happy to hear it 🧡🤘

There are a lot of delays out there, yet it seems an instant classic! Benson stuff are always impressive.

We're all just watching Andy age in real time

First jam could be a built to spill song, like Perfect From Now On meets You in Reverse. Andy you’re such a great player, and you do probably the most underrated thing in playing music - inspire. Really gotta get a new delay now 🥵

All new delays demos sound the same, how can we compare them? It's like hearing 100 tubescreamer demos, all will sound the same.

Gotta get some Blur in there!

I just scored a MN-3005 AD-900 for $120. I am gonna have to pass on this one.

I’ve got the Asheville adg-1, boss dm-101, Strymon Volante, Boss RE-202, UA Starlight, and Chase Bliss Mood Mk II. I don’t need this thing, but I love the concept of something that sits between analog and digital that isn’t a tape echo.

So so good, man!

Always have to watch these videos twice: once for the review and again for the playing and cool tricks you use.
Thank you!!!

Sounds outstanding. With all the options, they omitted stereo? I'd pay double for a stereo with midi preset option

here we go again . grow up. there i s nothing bad or wrong with digital . just because you bought a digitech and its amp models sucked doesnt mean its 1990 for the rest of us .

So i know this uses a PT2399 which is a digital delay line. In terms of theory whats the difference between that and a DSP chip?

Beson delay vs rubberneck?

They seem very similar. Would you say the benson is higher quality component wise?


Im juuust a jeepster for your looo ooove.

Ordered one today and a Monarch +, still won't sound anywhere as good you do though

I’ve bought and sold a Strymon Volante twice. Have been considering getting one again, but damn does this Benson sound good…

Sounds great, but for what I use a delay for I can just stick with my Greer Black Tiger Delay, which is also PT2399-based. The degradation of the repeats is very, very similar, and I don’t really need modulation or vibrato. The Benson is a really nice pedal, though.

Tasteful Mr Andy, very tasteful playing, great tune at the beginning!

When Tone is your number one priority is this the Delay to get?

I have a carbon copy delay that does everything I need a delay to do but this pedal just seems SO fun to experiment with and get lost in. I love that it can do all the “traditional” delays sounds but can also do any type of complex ambient sounds I’d ever want, without having complicated secondary functions. This in stereo would be killer
