The Florist is a collaboration between Benson Amps and Dave Jordan of Non-Human Audio, developed from a shared interest in the modulated slapback effect found in Jordan's Slow Loris pedal. Rather than a revision of that design, the Florist is a separate circuit built around a different approach — one that covers similar sonic territory while extending well beyond it.

The core concept is a dual-channel dynamic delay modulator. Each delay channel uses its own compressor-type detector circuit to control delay speed, and the interaction between the two channels — combined with independent wet and dry volume controls — opens up a wide range of textures: chorus, slapback, through-zero flanging, tri-chorus, and less categorizable modulation effects. The delay range runs faster than the Slow Loris, and the signal path was redesigned for higher fidelity.

This is the limited edition Grape finish.

Controls

Dry — volume of the unaffected signal.
Wet A / Wet B — independent volume controls for each delay channel.
Intensity A / Intensity B — modulation depth for each respective channel.

Ghosts

A latching footswitch that introduces feedback in both delay lines, pushing them to the edge of oscillation. The results are unpredictable and vary significantly depending on the other control settings — worth exploring deliberately.

Applications

The Florist works on guitar, but the dual-channel architecture and dynamic modulation make it equally interesting on vocals, drums, synths, and other sources in a studio context.
