Harley Benton launches Double Pedal series of six dual-effect pedals

July 8, 2022 · 2 sources

Harley Benton announced the Double Pedal range on 8 July 2022, six pedals that each combine two effects in one casing¹². MusicRadar reported the launch as "the Double Pedal range which features six double-duty stompers"¹.

Each pedal has a uniform casing split into two sides, with a footswitch and a full set of controls for each effect¹. All are true bypass, and every pedal except the Double Jammer has a toggle that changes each effect's position in the chain¹. Both effects can be used simultaneously, individually and in any order². All run on a 9V DC power supply that is not included, with no battery operation¹.

The six are the Evil Twin (analog overdrive and tubedrive), Duality (reverb and delay), Double Vision (analog tremolo and chorus), Twoface (analog overdrive and tremolo), Sugar & Spice (digital reverb and delay/chorus, voiced for acoustic guitar) and Double Jammer (drum machine and looper)¹².

On the Evil Twin, one side is described as having an "ultra-wide dynamic range and extraordinarily open tube-like drive tone," while the other is Harley Benton's take on the original Japanese green overdrive circuit¹. The Duality's delay offers three types (analog, real and tape) with a delay time of 5ms to 780ms¹. The Double Jammer's drum machine has 11 genres of drum patterns, 121 drumbeats in total and tap tempo, while its looper offers up to 30 minutes of looping time with undo/redo and unlimited repeats¹.
