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 J. Rockett Aqueous is a reverb pedal from US boutique manufacturer J. Rockett Audio Designs (Nashville, Tennessee), delivering multiple reverb modes including spring, room, hall, and shimmer with full reverb parameter control for studio-quality reverb in a pedalboard format.
