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.

The Benson Amps Delay is a boutique analog voiced echo built around the PT2399 chip but carefully conditioned to sound warmer and more musical than typical PT2399 designs. Delay times span roughly 30 milliseconds to over 1.2 seconds, covering everything from tight slapback and chorus like doubling to long, decaying repeats. Drawing on Benson's background servicing tape and bucket brigade echoes, it produces ethereal, slightly unpredictable repeats that darken and degrade as they fade. A flexible LFO with sine, square and random waveforms adds chorus, vibrato and seasick warble or flutter to the repeats. It suits ambient, indie, psychedelic and roots players who want vintage tape style echo with modern reliability and creative modulation.
The JHS The Echo is a multi-mode delay pedal from JHS Pedals (Kansas City, Missouri), delivering slapback, delay, and a boost mode in one unit with tap tempo and a Gain knob for clean boost when needed. The Echo covers slapback echo, standard delay, and controlled boost for a complete echo and level management solution at JHS Pedals quality.
