Benson Amps Florist Dynamic Modulator

Benson Amps · pedal

The Benson Amps Florist Dynamic Modulator is a collaboration between Benson Amps and Non-Human Audio. Based loosely on the Slow Loris pedal, it uses two delay lines influenced by the input audio signal to produce a unique modulated delay hybrid effect. The resulting sound is a dynamic modulation that responds to playing dynamics, producing chorus-like thickening, pitch modulation, and organic motion that adapts to the instrument signal rather than following a fixed LFO clock. Handmade in Portland, Oregon. Part of the Benson Amps pedal lineup alongside the Preamp, Delay, and Störkn.

What stands out

  • “The resulting sound is a dynamic modulation that responds to playing dynamics, producing chorus-like thickening, pitch modulation, and organic motion that adapts to the instrument signal”

    — from the listing

  • “Based loosely on the Slow Loris pedal, it uses two delay lines influenced by the input audio signal to produce a unique modulated delay hybrid effect”

    — from the listing

  • “Signal-chain interaction: works before or after drive effects; the dynamic response means harder playing produces more pronounced modulation, creating a naturally expressive interaction with picking dynamics”

    — from the community notes

  • “Standout strength: the dual-delay input-audio-influenced modulation produces a musical dynamic response that fixed-LFO chorus and vibrato pedals cannot replicate”

    — from the community notes

  • “Second strength: the Florist produces thickening and pitch motion that adapts naturally to playing dynamics, making it suitable for both subtle enhancement and expressive modulation”

    — from the reviews

Trade-offs

  • “Standout weakness: the dynamic response means the effect character changes with playing style, which requires adaptation for players accustomed to consistent LFO modulation”
