Benson Amps Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo Pedal - Versatile Tone Sculptor | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Benson Amps Deep Sea Diver Fuzz-Echo Pedal is a collaborative masterpiece developed with Jessica Dobson of the Seattle band Deep Sea Diver. This versatile effects unit combines a silicon three-transistor fuzz variant with a custom-tuned echo section, delivering everything from aggressive treble boosting to thick, dark textured fuzz. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking to expand their sonic palette.
Product Overview
The Deep Sea Diver features a meticulously crafted circuit built around a deranged mashup of mk1.5 and mk2 silicon transistor fuzz, tweaked over three years of development to capture Jessica Dobson's signature sound. Its compact, road-worthy enclosure houses intuitive controls that interact dynamically to create an extensive range of textures and tones.
The fuzz section offers highly interactive bias and gate controls that significantly alter the EQ and distortion characteristics, providing tonal options from clean-up treble boosting to thick, wooly textures. The pedal's echo section utilizes a modified PT2399 chip perfectly tuned to complement the fuzz circuit, with standard time, feedback, and level controls.
One unique feature that sets this pedal apart is the ability to change signal routing between fuzz and echo, allowing players to place either effect first in the chain. This versatility creates dramatically different sound possibilities that can transform your playing approach and inspire new creative directions.
Ideal For
- Experimental guitarists seeking My Bloody Valentine-style gauzy textures and unorthodox sounds
- Performing musicians who need versatile fuzz tones from aggressive gated splatter to thick, wooly warmth
- Recording artists looking for unique textural options to enhance their sonic landscape
- Players who appreciate interactive pedals that reward exploration and nuanced control adjustments
- Bassists and synthesizer players seeking character-rich fuzz and echo combinations
Key Features
Versatile Fuzz Circuit
The silicon three-transistor fuzz circuit covers incredible ground from aggressive treble booster to thick, dark textured fuzz to gated skronky sounds. The interactive bias and gate controls dramatically alter the EQ and distortion characteristics with even subtle adjustments.
Custom-Tuned Echo Section
The modified PT2399-based echo circuit features time, feedback, and level controls specifically tuned to complement the fuzz section. Holding down the footswitch activates self-oscillation at certain settings, creating signature Deep Sea Diver sounds.
Switchable Signal Path
A unique power-on footswitch option allows players to change the signal path order between fuzz-into-echo or echo-into-fuzz. The LED changes color to indicate the current routing: green for fuzz before echo, orange for echo before fuzz.
Instrument Versatility
The Deep Sea Diver works equally well with guitars, basses, and synthesizers, maintaining its distinctive character regardless of input source or placement in your signal chain.
Professional Design
Developed in collaboration with Jessica Dobson over three years of meticulous refinement, this pedal captures her signature sounds while offering extensive versatility for players of all styles.
