Flower Pedals released the Sunflower Deluxe Tremolo, a digitally controlled, MIDI-compatible analog tremolo pedal, on August 5, 2022, at a US list price of $34912. Guitar World described it as the brand's pre-existing Dandelion Tremolo pedal "on steroids"1.
The pedal's front panel carries the Dandelion controls of Boost, Depth, Shape and Speed, joined by Tap Division and Width parameters; Width adjusts the time difference between the treble and bass harmonic frequencies1. Each knob also has a secondary function: Ramp Speed sets the rate at which wave ramping occurs, Drift Depth and Secondary Speed set how far the speed drifts from the primary speed and how fast the pedal ramps into ramping modes, and Drift Speed is a further speed parameter, alongside Harmonic Division and Stereo Width knobs1. Two toggle switches select among three ramping modes (Latch, Moment and Drift) and among three variable Shape options1. Two footswitches handle on/off with a secondary parameter trigger, and tap tempo with ramp control1.
The Sunflower Deluxe stores five presets, each recalling primary and secondary parameters and tap tempo settings, with the power LED cycling through five colors to show the engaged preset1. A 1/4-inch MIDI jack lets users control any parameter via a third-party controller, and an expression pedal can cycle through two pre-determined extremities of any parameter except Division1. Flower Pedals also made the harmonic tremolo stereo1.
Gearnews described the pedal as having a digitally controlled, fully analog signal path and listed Boost, Speed, Depth, DIV (divisions), Width and Randomness knobs, two switches labeled Ramp and Shape, and two dual-function footswitches for Tap/Ramp and On/Hold2. That account differs from Guitar World's on the knob names: Gearnews lists Randomness where Guitar World lists Shape and Speed, and Gearnews gives the DIV label where Guitar World gives Tap Division12. Both list the MSRP as $34912.
