Thanks for showcasing this pedal, these videos look like a lot of work.
I went through that feature-driven-arms-race with everyone over the last 5-7 years. Lots of huge swings and “does it all” gear but as my boards have shrunk and my preferences have refocused on core sounds vs features I found that my writing and production has gotten much better. This is a better way imo. A plethora of visions instead of just one thing that does it all mostly well.
@@markjohnstonofficial But I do believe that one-thing-does-it-all-mostly-well evolution of pedals was crucial for me, because it was pedals like the Alexander Leap Series that helped me determine which flavor of delay/reverb/etc. that I like and use most. It's always nice to have them around, but now I know that I just spend 95% of my time on a dark/analog/BBD style delay (so it led me to AMT ADG-1) and varying intensity of cavernous/ambient/hall reverb (Neunaber Wet), so I never used those "does it all" pedals to their full potential.
I believe it's a '93 360/12. I've had it for over a decade now and I really need to be playing it way more often that I do. Its such a great instrument
Awesome work as usual, wicked intro track as well. I swear if I need a step by step lesson on how to use/get everything out of a pedal your videos are the way to go. Super in depth, articulate, and knowledgable. Appreciate the time you give. Hope you and your family are doing good.
It's really cool to see a delay like this that can do so many cool sounds but not have any menu diving, dozen's of algorithms, and tons of parameters to edit.
I appreciate your depth, attention to detail and knowledge on this pedal! It's definitley my next pedal purchase for my live and session work! I also fell in love with my Benson Monarch Reverb+ amp! Chris Benson is a damn genius! Thaks for the video Mark, I've subscribed and look forward to more of your videos! Cheers!
Respectfully - what the actual fuck man! the random LFO section at 31 mins is one of THE nicest delay sounds I’ve ever heard dialed in! What a rad demo for an equally rad pedal.
Excellent demo. May I ask if the pedal is dynamic to the pick attack? I'm a blues guitarist and this is very important to me, but where I live I don't have the opportunity to try it out
Love your videos and love Benson! Do you get latency when using the pedal as a MOD effect with FB and TIME on 0 and MIX at 100, since you’re essentially hearing the first delay tone, rather than the source signal? If Benson made it so setting things this way makes it similar to how like a vibrato or chorus pedal would work, then I need one immediately…probably need one either way, TBH.
Interesting to see the resurgence of pt2399 delays. Seems like it was poison for a bit there to come out with "another one". now if someone made something like an MF-104M with a couple, and maybe tap tempo and 8 different modulated waveforms... well anyway, back to unrelated breadboarding.
You did not just call this a proper analog delay ma man. It's pt2399 you must know the similarities and differences. The man himself on his story video discusses the move from bbd to karaoke chip. I love that it behaves so much like analog but I think the true bucket brigade device designs earn that moniker

That intro track was absolutely incredible. Well done.
Thank you!
Yeah, Mark bangs out epic track after epic track video after video. It's not natural.
Was really digging that bass tone and composition!
$100 says he makes it sound suuuuper dope
Get this man a Miku pedal and he’ll give the emotive hardcore performance of our dreams. Dudes unstoppable, lord of the knobs
Fun fact, I’ve played a Miku a couple times and I love it. It’s actually one of the coolest ambient pedals imo

@@RhombiClan here’s the issue: don’t own it. Have never owned it. Reverb has them for $470 up and.. yeah that’s just not worth it.

Seeing the 360/12 is happiness. Great intro, and the bass part towards the end rules.

Yeah, man. Plus it’s an unusual and cool color!
Hot damn, that intro! 🔥You and Matt over at Ambient Trash have made intro tracks an art form.
Man I am just following Matt's lead these days.

Just ordered one today, I’ve never been a big delay fan but this one seems incredible.

Delay sitting so well in the mix in that opener! Such a polished track!

Benson delay is awesome. It’s so cool.
Killer bass lines in that opener. Sick! 🔥

man i love your arrangements and playing. amazing. gorgeous tones. Live drum kit?
Mixwave: Aaron Gillespie into UA’s Neve summing, atr tape machine, and a distressor.
That drum library is my favorite right now. It’s so good.
i love this delay.

How would you compare this pedal against the Crazy Tube Circuits TI:ME delay pedal?
post-hardcore perfection!
Ultrawide...Yay!
2.39:1 or bust.
Do you have any recordings out? You're such an inspiration (:

You like prefer this or delay llama XTREME for ambient styles
Side Question: What's the neck pickup on your Bunting guitar? ^_^
Great video! Kinda reminds me of the meet Maude sound a bit?
Hi Mark Johnson, how does this compare to the Boss 202 Space Echo?
You gotta cover the adg-1 by Asheville music tools, this thing is neat as well, I might get it if I can flip my thorpy scarlet tunic.
What time is this pedal available for purchase?
Go hit up my friends over at little box effects. They’ve got them in stock.
So bucket brigade but digital, intetesting.
Have they never heard of toggle switches?
No exp pedal inputs?? Bummer.
Would love some tabs of these tracks
No matter where i scroll, it’s talking

I appreciate that. I was more so baffled at what I heard and didn't mean to sound so critical, awesome video as usual!
Not a proper analog delay
