Description
A Benson Amps Tall Bird Plus tube reverb & tremolo unit finished in laquered tweed. The Tall Bird Plus combines original, Benson-designed spring reverb and harmonic tremlo units for a completely fresh take on tube-based external effects.
From Benson Amps...
Back in 2023 we were approached by The Beach Boys to create a limited edition reverb-tremolo unit called the Surf's Up, based on the classic Fender circuits with some upgrades, which was exciting because it allowed us to slay some dragons in the form of abiding tech problems with that type of circuit. The Surf's Up project ended but the journey was far from over.
After the dust settled, we realized the dragons could be deader, threw out the 60s schematics and performed a ground up redesign of how WE would achieve the classic sounds with even more versatility and lower noise...and also have regular AND harmonic tremolo in one unit. After trying a few things out we settled on a path that eventually led to the Tall Bird Plus!
