The Walrus Audio Mako Series - Versatile, Programmable MIDI Pedals!

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Three from your feet, nine from your fingers, 128 via midi should be on a shirt. Also, heads up, when you thought you were playing Spring, you were actually in whatever preset you had just previously scrolled through to. That's why you didn't hear any of that boingy drip!

[@GerardPampani]

Having the chain set up this way is the d1 putting out true stereo or split mono. I want to run a stereo rig and I have my last two pedal on my chain as the d1 and r1

[@tomireunanen8033]

The guys at Walrus have ears of gold, love their stuff. The SLÖ reverb is my always on-pedal.

[@Smitty_Werbenjagermanjenson]

Pete going with the Mac Demarco look today I see

[@benlogan430]

Nah my friend...that’s Mac Demarco sporting the Pete Honore look! Ahahaha Although, as I look in the mirror I’m starting to think he might be stealing my vibe?

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Very lovely purple guitar! Glad to see Pete bring it out again.

[@ZL1LoVeR]

Love the humility at the beginning Pete! That was an epic save with that bend, pretty masterful stuff!

[@skarfie123]

Appreciate the new pedal highlighting by the editor!

[@honeyyeti5292]

Love the G&L guitar...feels like a Friday already

[@Chris.1812]

You know you’re winning at life when you dress the way Pete is here and you still look cool

[@benlogan430]

In the modern world we can dress how we like! We I grew up we all had uniforms for the different ages. I should have loafers, tan khakis and a blue Oxford. But, I’m more likely dressed like Pete by happenstance. Megladon is a shark I think Mr Pete?

[@jukaprocesso]

Pete's G&L looks insanely awesome...

[@whiskeymike8010]

I tell you what. Anderson's Music Co's guitar channel is always entertaining. One of my favorite T.V. or any other streaming channels I could choose from. Your quality, editing, and all that has gotten so freaking good. Great production quality gentlemen.

[@slimigan]

The real beauty of the ACS1 is using to run either stereo or wet/dry, with L and R or Wet and Dry going through two different amp/cab sims. Can't do that with an iridium...

[@sellandinho]

Really cool pedals! And Pete shines as usual!

[@johnerbrecht6152]

The star piece of kit for me was the guitar! Doesn’t sound like a Fender or a Gibson and doesn’t try! Killer tone 🔥 🔥🔥

[@schlo9358]

g&l 😍

[@mattflickinger8151]

oh snaps, sick G&L!

[@jameslewis2635]

I think Andertons should do a follow-up video on how you go about using midi pedals as I doubt the majority of guitarists have that much knowledge on how to do so.

[@dustinthiessen]

Check out that pedal show. they've done some stuff on MIDI. The trouble is every pedal is going to work a little differently with how they implement MIDI

[@henrod27]

This make the perfect rig for worship genre stuff

[@ZL1LoVeR]

I must say that the R1 is currently my favorite pedal... it instantly boosted my creativity with the ability to do swells and latch sustain chords. It sounds breathtaking in person

[@MKJ2DAY]

Just brought one home today... can’t wait to play!

[@cullenpollard9640]

Like the sound of that G&L as well

[@VictorEMusique]

An idea for a challenge - a modification of an earlier one given there's way more stuff out now - the amp-less pedalboard - who can come up with the best sounding pedalboard without an amp and no multi-effect units....Chappers, the Captain, Danish Pete or Rabea the 'Fro? And maybe let the viewers decide with a poll and results to be revealed in a follow up video?

[@rockstardr]

Capn is always trying to rush DP through the demo but... Pete has things to say....

[@larrydj549]

Feels like a spring in a big room

[@aussievinni2415]

I watch Anderton's like most people watch their favorite sitcoms. These guys should get paid like TV stars. They're more entertaining than most paid programming and the content is [actually] valid.

[@SergeiVlassov]

Same here

[@murthisrikanth]

Good to see the espada out.😬

[@VooT]

I still miss those 2019 funny edits, bring them back pls :D

[@YonathanLeibovich]

When are they coming out with the R2(&)D2?

[@graemero5532]

That Espada . . . wow

Walrus audio and such.....also pete dressed as a tween waiting for a hot pretzel at the mall realizing his mum showed up early

[@yonallb]

that guitar is gorgeous

[@Josepllop87]

that G&L tho! is beatiful, I'm from Peru. Im applying to Oxford next week so i might be moving to UK soon. The very first thing will be head to Anderton to get some gear. And you better be there to sign it! (captain or danish pete) lol

[@PeteBreen]

Nice "Ten Years Gone"-like intro Danish Pete!

[@timothymathew1540]

I can watch 1000 videos of pete and I will come back for more...

That was hilarious when Pete said out of the box it probably has trails, click, nope 😂🤣😀

The Queen song was Brighton Rock .. killer tune

[@sakatana79]

[@LodvarDude]

[@glenclarkchidley3637]

We all caught it!

[@DurvalLacerda]

If I put Delay and Reverb AFTER the ACS1, would that be the same is if they were going into the FX Loop of an amp?

[@mattgilbert7347]

It'd be like adding them at the desk (or DAW - in post) after a recording session or whatever the kids call it these days. "In post" is close enough. Like adding them after a fully mic'd guitar tone I do it with my IR and it sounds ace with a stereo delay & reverb going to FRFR speakers.

[@nizodizo9549]

This is very interesting but all I have ever used in 20+ years is a Boss SD-1 into whatever is available maybe a reverb pedal if the amp does not have it built in.

[@RyanMcQuen]

Love that.

[@0tchii]

I thought the attack knob on the D1 had such potential when I first heard about it, but when I had one I would always put it to 0 and leave it there. Hopefully they make an updated version that also has the USB-input for firmware updates, so that they can tweak this further in the future. Brilliant idea, but I think the execution needs work

[@zaqintosh]

I think there's probably a use case for it that you're not considering. My guess is attack isn't going to get you somewhere you want to be as a "color" on a traditional delay sound. But if you want to push the D1 into mega ambient territory, combining crazy long feedback delay with bit crush+ maxing out attack will turn the delay into more of a non rhythmic ambient "wash" underneath your dry sound. I heard another demo where they really took advantage of attack.

[@DarwinStearns]

If there were a walrus in the room right now, he would be saying "I has a bucket!"

[@bigmonsterrock]

“Fidelity”... of course!

[@DANWRIGHTITIS]

Great vid! Where did you buy the decibel meter? I just got one online - but its going BACK !!!

[@cour1988]

You'll have to load your own IRs to get close to the iridium. The iridium uses a higher quality IR also but it's really hard to hear as it's minimal at least to my ears. But does make a difference.

[@slimigan]

"higher quality IR"? Wouldn't agree. And of course, IRs can be loaded as you choose. This is far more useable with dual amp function vs the iridium

[@cour1988]

@@slimigan iridium has 24 bit/96 khz 500 ms IRs. Walrus has 24bit/48 khz at 250 ms. So yes the iridiums are a higher quality.

[@rhabdo_X]

Iridium Killer

[@ZeBubba]

Pete was thinking about megalodon. Also a song by Mastodon, which can get confusing.

[@robertrouleau1000]

I want to see the Captain and Pete jamming again...

[@jonnyfive5000]

You could’ve changed the decay level on the reverb. It was left at 3 o’clock the whole time from what I could tell

[@spylingual8573]

That guitar sounds goooooood (well. Its Pete's playing but...)

[@jonesisdying]

A little tribute to Mick Ronson's version of Angel No.9 there at the beginning?

[@DustinKoch]

The room reverb is meant more to make the “amp” to sound like its in an actual room, not so much a traditional room reverb. Just look it up if this doesn’t make sense 😆

[@wetcat833]

It really depends on what sounds you are chasing. The R1 and D1 are more of a challenge to Strymon. I do prefer the naturalness of the UA pedals. The ambient nature of overly digital effect type pedals, to my ear, tend to over-ride the sound of your guitar and amp. Much cheaper to get a midi keyboard than spend big bucks on a high end guitar and tube amp and then use these type of pedals and wipe their signature sound.

[@Gibson1976uk]

BIG FLUFFY REVERB

[@cataevo444]

Could you please explain the actual setup I’m hearing. Are we hearing speaker cabs and amps or just thru a PA System? No amps?

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

Lee is a ghost. You can see right through his hand!

[@guitarsimon1]

Mmm, stereo spread 🤤

[@Bunter1815]

ACS1 vs Iridium vs Simplifier vs HX Stomp. Worth a blindfold challenge if you can figure out how to make it fair

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yes! Has anyone done it yet?

[@aaronsanchez93]

Iridium and stomp get pretty close. Iridium definitely has more of that “Amp” sound they’ve nailed it for sure. The stomp is nice and has the built in effects also has the audio interface and of course a fx loop. The ACS1 sounds good also I think that and iridium definitely have more of a head to head battle. Along with the simplifier. Also believe it has a fx loop? I think. I have the stomp but if I had a good interface to use with the iridium my guns would be with the iridium

[@larrydj549]

Sounds purty boyz

[@chrisjs6123]

I have a D1 which is amazing. I bough the R1 and hated it. Weird latency and just not a great reverb. Shame, as the delay is superb.

[@yonathanman]

Exact same experience!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Remember people walrus always puts hidden functions.... Press bypass and turn the X knob for secret parameters... BFR reverb gets MASSIVE and the R1 pedal... All about the presets its all there... Pick a preset and tweak it.....

[@spleefdowny]

Interesting that 3 of the pedals have side-mount jacks and one has top-mount. Wonder why.

[@souljer0]

Stereo vs. mono

[@Nebvin]

Along with being stereo, the Mako pedals have their MIDI ports on the top.

[@slimigan]

The odd man out of not part of the same "series"...

[@Nebvin]

@@slimigan hopefully we will get a Mako O1 at some point, I’d go for MIDI controlled Walrus overdrive/distortion/fuzz

[@stanislavmigra]

Little bit trivia. Mastodon was big furry elephant, the shark was megalodon.

[@DHKarol]

Pete please sign my purple mischief maker from few episodes before, I ordered it and already asked Jon if that's possible

[@Chris-oo9bc]

The Captain meets Jack Thammarat please !!!

[@onenotesolo256]

I hate to say this, as someone who prefers to mic up a real cab, or at least use a tube amp and an Ox for recording, but the tones with the ACS1, direct, sound at least as good (maybe better?) than the usual - very trebly - Andertons video; at least as a comparison with a mic’d up cab (i.e. not compared to an amp in the room). And I’m using posh IEMs (Shure KSE 1200). I think it’s probably the extra bass....and I know that Pete’s years of touring probably push him towards tones that cut through a band mix, hence the usual very high end tones in the videos. I have the Mako D1 delay and it’s a good competitor for the Keeley Eccos.

[@AlexMakuch]

Pete might not get that cameo with Attenborough after this one

[@RyanMcQuen]

I still prefer the Walrus ACS1 over the Strymon Iridium, UA Dream 65, and Boss IR-200. Best big cleans of all of them. All of the others have too much gain (and way more gain than the amps they emulate).

[@JaEbala]

It’s weird, I don’t get that much gain from acs1. I wonder if it’s because I plug into audio interface without di-box.

[@flagace4889]

It is a well known characteristic of this pedal to have less gain let's say compare to the Iridium. Apparently there is a new firmware from Walrus that improves this lack of gain.

[@JaEbala]

@@flagace4889 yeah I have the latest update, still not as gainy as it’s here

[@Northknives]

@@JaEbala maybe it's the guitar pickups? My old strat doesn't drive pedals as hard as my other guitars

@@Northknives I doubt it, I have tried different guitars and pickups with it
