The Benson Amps Tall Bird Plus is an all-tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo unit from Benson Amps, Portland, Oregon. The reverb section uses an EL84 power tube driving a spring tank capable of sounds from classy shimmer to wild chaos and self-oscillation. The tremolo circuit offers both harmonic and conventional optical tremolo modes with hand-tuned LDRs and an ultra-wide sweep range via a custom three-pole oscillator. Front panel controls include Dry, Dwell, Wet, Size, Depth, and Speed. Described by GuitarPlayer as producing rich and evocative reverb and tremolo comparable to excellent vintage amps. Priced near two thousand dollars. Not a standard stomp box; a floor-format tube unit.
The Fjord Fuzz FJAER is a spring reverb guitar effects pedal from Fjord Fuzz, the Norwegian boutique pedal builder. FJAER delivers the characteristic drip and splash of spring reverb — glorious, drippy spring tank character — in a compact pedal format that works well with both clean and fuzzy guitar tones. Wide range of reverb size options allows adjustment from tight, close spring sound to expansive drippy reverb. Hand-built in Norway with boutique attention to detail.
