The Acoustic Strymon DIG V2 Dual Digital Delay and the Benson Amps Tap Tempo are both pedals sharing ambient, warm, modulated. The Benson Amps Tap Tempo leans pristine and slapback.

Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.47% — somewhat different

The Strymon DIG V2 is a dual digital delay stompbox offering three selectable delay voicings: ADM (early 1980s Adaptive Delta Modulation with lo-fi warmth), 12-bit PCM (mid-1980s 12-bit pulse code modulation with warm vintage character), and 24/96 (modern 24-bit 96kHz high-resolution clarity). Two independently configurable delay lines run simultaneously in series or parallel. The two lines can also run as a ping-pong delay. Version 2 adds a dedicated Tone control, three modulation depth levels, and expanded MIDI capabilities. A golden ratio timing mode creates a logarithmic spiral decay pattern. Particularly suited to ambient, shoegaze, post-rock, and studio recording.
The Benson Amps Tap Tempo Delay is a boutique delay pedal from Benson Amps, a hand-built amplifier and effects company based in Portland, Oregon. It covers a 30 to 1250ms delay range with tap tempo synchronisation powered by the open-source Bontempo calibration technology, which eliminates the pitch-warping commonly associated with adjusting delay time while notes are ringing. An LFO section with three selectable waveforms — sine, square, and random — adds modulation to the repeats, ranging from subtle chorus-style movement to unpredictable, crumbling decay. Repeats degrade with an analog-style bloom and flutter character.
