The Benson Amps Tall Bird Plus Tube Spring Reverb and Tremolo Unit is where vintage charm meets cutting-edge innovation. Crafted with inspiration from the golden era of the 1960s, this pedal combines tube-driven spring reverb with a choice of optical and harmonic tremolo, offering a versatile sonic palette for guitarists seeking both classic and contemporary tones. The Tall Bird Plus features an original circuit design by Chris Benson, boasting unique controls like Dwell, Size, and independent Dry/Wet knobs to shape your sound with precision.

Whether you're after the surfy drip of traditional reverb or expansive hall-like echoes, this unit delivers, and it does so with a true bypass circuitry that preserves your signal's integrity. The tremolo section is equally impressive, featuring both Classic and Harmonic modes driven by a 3-pole adjustable oscillator, allowing for a range of tempos from slow swells to rapid pulses. A grounding scheme inspired by hi-fi stereos ensures a noise-free experience, while the tube-driven output buffer keeps your tone intact over long cable runs.

The Tall Bird Plus doesn’t just stop at delivering rich, lush sounds; it also offers practical enhancements like a Hi Fi/Natural switch to tailor the reverb's tonality and a dual LED footswitch for seamless control. Wrapped in a handsome, vintage-inspired casing, it’s a nod to the finest tube amps of yesteryear, refined for today's discerning guitarist.
