Product Description
The Tall Bird Plus is Benson's flagship all tube driven spring reverb and optical tremolo. It is a ground up original design with the goal of attaining the classic 60s sounds but with added functionality and improved noise characteristics.
A few key improvements:
Independent WET and DRY controls. The dry control can be used to overdrive an amp, or remove the dry signal completely! Straight up and down is typically unity volume. The SIZE control creates a high pass filter...turn it down for classic drip sounds, or up for cavernous hall style reverb. A three-pole adjustable oscillator to drive the neon lamp for extremely slow or extremely fast tremolo settings Switchable optically driven standard OR harmonic tremolo... True bypass tremolo takes the optical circuitry completely out of the signal path to prevent the volume loss issues of the original circuits. Tube driven output buffer for driving long cables. Dual LED footswitch and included TRS cable for turning the effects on/off. A grounding schema lifted from the world of hi-fi stereos that prevents noisy ground loops while maintaining a direct wire ground connection to the chassis. The reverb bypass disconnects the send signal to the reverb tank, allowing for trails rather than a hard cutoff of the reverb tail.
