Benson Amps/ Non-Human Audio: Florist Dynamic Modulator

[@mattborba1340]

Such a killer song at the beginning. You should release that on spotify

[@alexfletcher9915]

Such an awesome design! Dig the sounds here!

[@AndyDemos]

Glad you like it!

[@entropybentwhistle]

The color reminds me of my grandma’s house, very comforting.

[@ibaneztubescreamer]

Instant order. You win this time Andy.

[@jonathan-smith]

Got me too bro

[@DanHoskins529]

That through zero with the OD was nasty cool. Someone get this under Graham Coxon’s foot immediately.

[@horstdunoch3546]

Holy Sheet you're right !!

[@BensonAmps]

Thanks for the great demo Andy!

[@mekonium7843]

Cool pedal and superb intro tune. Hats of to you Andy.

[@JoshuaSimonson909]

I must admit when I saw this pedal I thought "oh lord, not another lofi pedal..." but this legit sounds pretty good! I'm getting some Hylics and Hylics 2 vibes here from Andy's playing.

[@somethingvelvet]

Oh lord, not another lofi indie jrpg

[@smokeynewport1591]

Cool demo, Andy! Great job finding great sounds to show off that this unit can do.

[@AndyDemos]

Thank you, there were lots of surprises as I dug a little farther than the obvious lo-fi stuff. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aangtonio5570]

I think this pedal would also be pure FUN on electric pianos and synths

[@jupjuck]

Loving the sprinkling of Moses gunn collective in there

[@AndyDemos]

Interesting, haven’t heard more than ‘Shalala’ at this point but gotta day you’re not wrong! Thanks, will dig in!

[@TheUnicornslayer]

Shalala intro tone is so good bro

[@nickolasecker9596]

Benson make the best pedals I’ve ever used, arguably. Everything I’ve purchased from them has received heavy use from me and their products interact with one another well.

[@klontart]

Brilliant! Loving it. Especially the B side.

[@AndyDemos]

Glad to hear it!

[@ssolred]

What a marvelous, dreamy tune at the beginning! I fell in love with it instantly. It brings up easily many images. It’s like Neil Young’s „Midnight on the bay”.

[@AndyDemos]

I really appreciate it!

[@chrisgoodchild2204]

This reminds me a little of the Strymon Deco; lots of range in very few controls, seems like a chameleon which I really love, but very much an instrument which needs tweaking as you go instead of something that has predetermined sounds at the push of a button. I could see this being really useful for subtle textures in a mix to give things some depth and movement. Great demo!

[@smokeynewport1591]

BTW, I just watched a tube screamer TS9DX demo earlier today that you did 16 years ago!! The video quality from back then was almost unwatchable but the playing was on point! Thanks for all the years of awesome demos. I've watched tons of them.

[@AndyDemos]

I really appreciate it and glad the old vids are still helpful!

[@CorbCorbin]

If you think that’s unwatchable, you’d have never survived tiny tv’s with rabbit ears, trying your get a clear picture, or even a VHS tape that’s been rented over and over, for 20 years. Those old demos look fine. People are so spoiled now.

[@michaeljohnson8058]

Good job Andy. First Benson pedal that i don’t need 😨

[@RiperSnifle]

Im high and this video is creasing me up

[@admarhermans1]

Great revue! Not an easy job I can imagine... I guess this will also be a great studio tool for (analog)synths and drums! (And of course on the auto-tuned vocals of the full top 100 single and album charts, 😂.) Loved your opening tune. It made me think of 70’s european crime shows, like Derrick. 🖖

[@AndyDemos]

So glad you dug it, thanks! ✌️

[@mykhedelic6471]

This is actually my signature pedal, makes every guitarist sound JUST. LIKE. ME. You're welcome.

[@CullyCraft]

I played trumpet/sax through this (and their delay) on a dub reggae set last Friday! It was a perfect tool to get dubby with! Initially it was delay into this but I think ill keep this before delay

[@slimsantilli4476]

I recently picked up a used Saito guitar. I absolutely love the neck and pickups. I hope they catch on in America.

[@AndyDemos]

Great to hear it! I’ve really been enjoying it too, the neck does feel perfect and the thing stays in tune better than most 👍🏻

[@cortmiller]

The chorus sounds and flange sounded great. I’m not as much into the super seasick warblies

[@AndyDemos]

Thankfully it can be as extreme or subtle as you need! Thanks for watching!

[@atomcatz69]

The intro track you did had like that earlier Mac Demarco tone Too cool man 🤣

[@pierrelucas995]

Very nice intro tune !

[@andy.pitcher]

love that tune

[@AndyDemos]

Hey Andy, thanks! ✌️

[@Mordred478]

Andy, I do appreciate your demos, because I find out about devices and brands I otherwise would not have. Beetronics is an example, I now own two of their units. Also, I bet you make microwave popcorn better than most. :-0

[@AndyDemos]

So glad to hear these demos are helpful, thanks! I don’t really like popcorn haha!

[@AverageHuman7026]

It's like Mac DeMarco in a little box

[@derrickm5013]

i want this bad but no $, trying to figure out how I could work this up with modifiers on the fractal fm3

[@Paulo-ut1li]

Same, but I’ll try with Zoia

[@TomBlackburn]

Oh Ya Hey! That's fun and demented. This is what happens when you take food trucks and mix them with green chili!

[@trahnettilhcs]

The intro has some Roger Moore/ Sean Connery era Bond vibes happening. Get this on the next Bond soundtrack

[@boonatuna]

Andy, I’ve been watching your demos for decades I think. What are some of your favorite pedals you’ve demoed over the years?

[@AndyDemos]

Hey I really appreciate hearing from a long-timer! If I had to pick 3 it would be the Catalinbread Belle Epoch where I got to use a violin bow, the couple videos I did for the Wampler Velvet fuzz (it really covered some ground) and more recently the Funky-Vibe from Sabbadius. Just a fan of classic reborn, I guess :)

[@boonatuna]

@@AndyDemos wow that’s awesome that you took the time to reply, thanks Andy, I’ll check those out!

[@boonatuna]

@@AndyDemos I do have one more question. I am looking into the best sounding lush tremolo, with dynamic setting. But I also want it to do the classic stuff. I’ve narrowed it down to the Keely dynatrem and the harmonious monk v2. Any thoughts? I can get the Keely for cheap but is it because it’s not as good?

[@AndyDemos]

@@boonatuna Some of those dynamic trems are digital like the MXR Tremolo and Keeley is using a FV-1 chip I believe. That being said, they offer more control and the analog Harmonious Monk has no dynamic setting but tap is perhaps more helpful. I wouldn't say any of these choices are bad, it's more important to find one that matches your needs. I'd also recommend the Subdecay Vagabond which has similar features you're after (and that company deserves more recognition). Good luck!

[@boonatuna]

@@AndyDemos I took your advice and just ordered the Subdecay Vagabond, thanks for everything!

[@eddy67]

What is that first song? I swear i've heard it before! Pedal is very cool

[@jonathan-smith]

I know better by now than to watch these lol.

[@juanjan__]

another great demo of a very good pedal, but I still completely love your Vox guitar (and I don't even play guitar, I'm a drummer and bass player haha)

[@DerpRulesAll]

It sounds like they took the modulation features of a more advanced Delay pedal, and worked out possibilities with the circuit. It's not for me, but it is very interesting.

[@derrickm5013]

also, what is that intro is that an andy original? Someone else said it sounds familiar.

[@wgb01001]

Good hair day

[@memyself52]

Oh, that I don't like the sound of this pedal at all......But, as usual, you're doing your best to demonstrate all its possibilities. Which shows your versability and commitment. Though I hate this pedal, you're doing great job.

[@BensonAmps]

I love how polarizing this pedal is 😂

[@LewWelchThePoet]

🤘👍🏿

[@charleyeastman1795]

Love the benson preamp, was meh on the delay. This? Good for recording but I wouldn’t rate it live. But as a part of the benson lineup it makes a lot of sense. Also love the pink. Might grab one on reverb after somebody gets caught up and never figures out how to use it.

[@AndyDemos]

I think a wet/dry rig live would sound immense with this! Thanks 👍🏻

[@GaryRubinstein]

Great pedal for making "Popeye Goes Back To Goon Island" soundtrack...

[@AndyDemos]

Got a Popeye fan here! Thanks ;)

[@CorbCorbin]

Hey! I resemskles that…

[@CaptainErn]

Love the sound. Love the design and the demo. But personally I feel like lofi pedals came late to the game. A few years ago I experimented with mods to my guitar and playing techniques that do what most of these pedals do. But I still want to buy them…

[@AndyDemos]

I don’t really consider this a lo-fi pedal, which is why I omitted that term from the demo (I know others have called it that). Reminds me more of a dynaflanger!

[@CaptainErn]

I agree with you this is definitely more of a dynaflanger. Kinda reminds me of something Caroline guitar co would make. I wrote my comment based on that dope opening track. Definitely one of my favorites from you btw 👍🏽

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

No need to tune anymore! 🤣

[@abzafox7777]

Soundgarden vibes

[@AndyDemos]

Some of those doubling sounds are perfect for thickening riffs, good catch!

[@thesimulations8900]

Sounds cool, but a $259 1% of the time pedal.😕

[@p.a.d.5164]

I see some mac demarco vibe here

[@leehenderson8132]

I've never liked Benson audio.Now AI really?your stonk box was a joke,now this is even worse.

[@AndyDemos]

I'm not surprised that some people won't get this pedal, it's on the experimental side. However, this just seems like needless hate on a Co. and calling a classic Tonebender circuit with a solution for drifting bias a "joke" has me scratching my head :/

[@therevolution4964]

Hi Lee, just wanted to let you know that I think you’re a huge bell end. That’s all. Cheers

[@DanHoskins529]

Lee mate, I respectfully suggest that you take a look at your comment history on this channel. All the recent comments are negative and slightly mean. Everything ok? Or just a massive bellend?

[@youngtough00]

Just got a Stonk Box a couple weeks ago and it’s one of my favorite fuzz pedals ever. That and the Silktone Fuzz will never leave my board.
