They say:

SOUND
Drawing 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.

WARBLE
The 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.

TAP
The 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.

SMOOTH
We 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.

WOW THE NARRATIVE
The design process was characteristically obsessive and obliquely dysfunctional, so we’ll spare you most of it. Lots of bright people in the industry left their mark in one way or another. Special shout outs to Jack Deville, Bryan Sours and John Snyder. Lessee...after dutifully slogging through the modern bucket brigade scene for a while, we found our paradise in the form of the ubiquitous PT2399. Turns out, when you treat it well, you can get a great sounding delay with a massive range out of it.  We utilized a combination of gooey compander chip, analog filtering, and careful gain staging (amp designers are decent at that). We hope you love it.

THE MENU
To access LFO waveform and tap division menu, hold down BYPASS for two seconds, then tap TAP/ HOLD once. BYPASS switch toggles between SINE, SQUARE and RANDOM waveforms, which will blink 1, 2 or 3 times respectively. TAP/HOLD switch toggles through QUARTER, DOTTED EIGHTH, and EIGHTH note tap divisions, and the LED will blink 1, 2 or 3 times (respectively). Hold down BYPASS for two seconds to exit MENU.

Center Negative 9VDC power supply, 100ma current draw.

Lovely watch i like it a lot i usually never wear watches but ...
Lovely watch i like it a lot i usually never wear watches but this one is exceptional classy and luxurious at a good price. Packaging it also pretty neat comes with instructions and additional wrist pieces for preferred sizing. The best part is the gold color and the ability to be able to tell the Date day and number how cool can't get better than that. Watch feels comfortable and i always see people starring and complimenting. Overall extremely happy purchased over 1 year ago still looking amazing gold dip hasn't rubbed off that much.

Quality
The hands and markers are not luminous. I wish the case size was 48mm. But a very nice watch by Nixon.

Great Watch.
Color: Blue Sunray
The watch is overall great. Comes in great packaging and very easy to resize.Tells time pretty accurately once you wind it perfectly. Almost all scratches and scuffs are shown but I would bet that once you buff them out with a polishing rag itll look as good as new. The best feature for me is the glow in the hard hands. I have seen newer models that light up the entire head but since this is an older model, the glow in the dark arms will do. Perfect for a gift, the quality is great!

Dead battery
Color: Yellow Gold / Black
Just bought this thing, set it all up pushed the crown all the way down and.. nothing. Brand new out of the box. Never bought a watch and had this happen to me in my life. Expected more from a watch this expensive.
