The Benson Florist Grape makes chorus and flanging move with your playing
The Benson Florist Grape gives modulation a different role: not a fixed wave that runs underneath your playing, but movement that responds to your attack. The pedal is a collaboration between Benson Amps and Non-Human Audio. The inspiration came from the Slow Loris, but the Florist is an independent design with faster delay times, a rebuilt signal path, and two different detector circuits.
Those two delay lines give you access to chorus-like thickening, flanging, and unusual, swaying textures. You mix the dry signal and both effect channels separately, allowing you to preserve the original definition or disappear more into the effect. The independent intensity controls determine how much movement each channel adds. With the Ghosts footswitch, you activate feedback in both lines, right on the edge of oscillation. That opens the door to ghostly, reverberant sounds and experimental layers, without needing a second pedal.
Dry, Wet A, and Wet B control the three signal levels; Intensity A and Intensity B control the dynamic modulation. In addition to bypass, the Florist has a separate, locking Ghosts switch. The connections are mono jack-in and -out, plus a connection for a 9V DC power supply with negative center pin; the power consumption is 50 mA. The Grape version offers the same Florist concept in its own color. A special modulation pedal for those who prefer to control with their attack rather than follow a predictable wave.
