The Florist is the end result of Non-Human Audio and Benson Amps being so inspired by the possibilities of improving an existing pedal that we pushed the idea even further and create a whole new pedal in what we hope will be an expanding genre of pedals.

The Florist can add some subtle movement under your playing, it can be a chorus, it can be a modulated semi-reverb, it can almost flange, it can achieve weird space sounds, it can sound like a broken tape machine, it can do a lot of things.

Experiment, find your sound, get weird.

Wir nennen ihn unseren Preamp, weil er es ist! Die Schaltung basiert auf unserem Chimera 30-Watt-Gitarrenverstärker, ersetzt aber die Röhren durch FET-Transistoren. Das Ergebnis ist ein extrem verstärkerähnliches und vielseitiges Clean-Boost/Overdrive/Fuzz-Pedal, das deiner Signalkette reiche Obertöne und einen sehr musikalischen EQ verleiht... wirklich eine Chimera in einer Box!

We call this our Preamp because it is! The circuit is based on the our Chimera 30 watt guitar amplifier, but substitutes FET transistors for the vacuum tubes. The result is an extremely amp-like and versatile clean boost/overdrive/fuzz pedal that imparts rich harmonics and a very musical EQ to your signal chain…truly a Chimera in a box!

Preamp

Like the Germanium Fuzz before it, the Stonk Box attempts to take a classic 1960’s fuzz design, and bring the sound into the modern world without bringing any along the flaws and inconsistencies of the original. In this case, we set our eyes on the MK1 fuzz (which is itself a modified version of the very first fuzz ever). We kept the original controls (FILTER and VOLUME), and added a TONE control and a TRIM control to expand the palette of sounds available. Buffer and pedal order friendly (but with no pickup simulation, we had to tweak the output circuit this time). The original circuit is considered one of the hardest of the classic fuzzes to get right because of the difficulty in transistor selection...with our patented technology we can do it easily and consistently...for the first time ever!

Stonk Box

This pedal is based on our now famous amp-in-a-box Preamp pedal with one important tweak: the replacement of the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage - stolen from our servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal which is ideal as a versatile gain stage since it reliably imparts a germanium tonality, mostly doesn’t care about temperature, and doesn’t affect frequency response. The result is an alternate universe take on our flagship pedal that marries the incomparable feel of the germanium with the careful equalization and tone controls of the preamp pedal. 

The result is a slightly lower gain, but richer sounding and feeling overdrive/boost/fuzz/whatever we really, really dig. We hope you like it!

Der Portable Distortion 424 MKII von Benson Amps ist eine erweiterte Rekonstruktion des Eingangskanals eines Cassette-4-Track-Recorders (des klassischen „424 MkII“) und liefert grobkörnige Lo-Fi-Verzerrung, breite EQ-Kontrolle sowie einen umgehbaren Eingangs-Buffer, der den Gain und Charakter des Pedals radikal verändert. Es eignet sich für sauberen Boost, Treble-Boost, warme/dunkle Texturen und voll-wertige chaotische Zerstörung.

The Portable Distortion 424 MKII from Benson Amps is an enhanced re-creation of the input channel of a cassette 4-track recorder (the classic “424 MkII”), delivering gritty lo-fi distortion, broad EQ control, and a bypassable input buffer that radically alters the gain and character of the pedal. It’s capable of clean boost, treble boost, warm/dark textures and full blown chaotic grind.
