BRAND NEW and mindblowing! Walrus Audio D1

I immediately knew that the brand new Walrus Audio D1 delay is something VERY special. I instantly fell in love with the controllability and the huge variety of sounds with a rather simple interface!

[@NebulaStudios1]

So far the best demo of this pedal I’ve seen.

[@MrPolovinaMozga]

By far the best demo of this pedal. Great job!

[@learnfromthemastersmusicou7241]

Most helpful thing to me about this review was enabling me to see just how good this pedal really is. For someone like me, with much less experience, it was easy not to appreciate. Your perspective and enthusiasm were very valuable - thank you! I own all 4 of the Mako series pedals, and I will say that as I’m moving up the learning curve with them, I’m increasingly impressed. They also are great for conserving pedal board real estate. Only downside for me is that when you power them off, they revert to last *preset* used, not the last *settings* used, when powered back on again. I wrote Walrus about this and they said others have had the same complaint, and at some point a firmware update is supposed to remedy it. Even if they don’t, the quality of sound is phenomenal and the versatility is powerful. Worth the money, in my opinion.

[@Michael_Is_Avg]

One fun tidbit I learned is that Mako is a a shark (in the same family as the great white) and I thought that was incredibly clever way to give reference how this is their big splash into this new "Sharc" chip pedal line. I went fully digital a while back, but I just need pedals. I've had the spaceship boards in the past all the big strymon stuff, but I'm at a stage where I would rather throw myself off a cliff than have to go menu diving to get the sounds I want. That's all I've done the past few years and I miss just turning knobby thingys and getting what I want. This thing sounds killer, gives me all the flexibility I would need, and it's UI is absolutely brilliant. I needed a delay pedal and I think this has to be it (now I just need them to make a reverb pedal in this format). You're one of my favorite channels and always love to listen to your take on gear. Keep kicking ass, my dude!

[@michaeltihon3485]

Very nice review. Looks like I found a new swiss knife delay. I like all the sounds coming out of it, they sound very "organic" to my ears, not "synthy" or artificially created. Like you said, very inspiring and very aerial !

[@rom661]

Preset tempos can be changed from global to individual preset in the menu. And they made the lights LED colors much more distinct in production. Excellent review. Just got mine.

[@Smart-Alex]

D can stand for Delightful too! Sounds incredible.

[@neuk01642]

Oh man that intro feels like a 1980's daytime TV chat show... Nice demo though man. Amazing sounding pedal

[@archibaldikowski3646]

80's, thats what i said. :)

[@gordonroylambert]

Just purchased. Brilliant...as you described it. Very helpful info to inform my buying decision.

[@HaraldEngels]

Indeed, an amazing delay. Very inspiring.

[@DIGITAL7Media]

ok. I hate you...been going back and forth and deciding if I new a new pedal or guitar case....this video made me say yes to this. Great video., I shall subscribe now thank you.

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

Yep, totally agree. This pedal sounds amazing. Wow, just wow. Great review as always.

[@MYGAS21]

........And with midi?....unbeatable! (Great demo Henning, you made us fall in love with this thing) The attack feature is really important in midi sync situations, where you need to separate the beat from the delay.

[@stoneysdead689]

Interesting, warm, expressive- that's the best sweater I've ever seen- pretty cool pedal thingy to. LOL- Just joking around man- I actually love this delay, I want one really badly, on an absurd level even- but even a used one is outta my reach. Trying to sell some other gear off and get one, but it's not exactly a seller's market right now. Who knows though- maybe someone will buy my Headrush MX5 soon, that would be a massive help. I moved on to the UAFX Lion 68 and I just never use the HR anymore. Surely there's someone out there who wants an MX5 that already has the firmware updated, and about 200$ worth of IRs and rigs already on it as well. Box, papers, all the stuff that it came with- and no issues, works as intended. Only used it for like 10 months.

[@anthonyfesta1224]

I just bought one. It is glorious behind the Walrus SLÖ…running it stereo through my stereo FX loop on a Orange Rocker 32

[@MrSigitar]

great pedal-analysis, but you forgot to mention the ramp & hold feature of the bypass button. an important feature for some people out there.

[@ajs808]

I’m looking for a new delay to replace my great sounding but very basic MXR Carbon Copy. Still undecided but this is top of the list right now!

[@shckltnebay]

?????

[@bigmonsterrock]

How TF do you not have over a million subs by now is crazy! KZbin needs to get the algorithm working! Question, would you recommend this pedal over the Strymon Timeline and Boss DD 500? I’m literally in between the 3 but it seems like cost-wise, this one punches a bit above it’s price-tag. It’s literally time for me to grow up from my EH memory-boy!

[@EytschPi42]

Strymon and Boss have a lot more features and algorithms... but sound wise this one is pretty kick ass!

[@RKeaton]

fantastic demo, and sweater. Love your vids, man.

[@rashams1605]

6 nobbies, 3 switchies, 2 stompies 🌝

[@BCEpedals]

But if the bypass LED changes color then you don’t know what setting it is on when it is off. Maybe just a bigger or brighter LED display for the tap tempo and that’s all worked out.

[@Steven_SK]

That has to win something I totally agree! Intro was awesome Henning..... thanks.

[@ModularLanding]

Really awesome pedal. Sounds great and the attack knob seems amazing and sounds so good. There are so many delays out there but for sound and function this is really interesting. Oh and seeing all those guitars at 2:02 was nice! 👍

[@randygeist666]

They forgot the dip switches in the back

[@MarkRigler]

and the expression and insert jacks

[@dorianford6227]

I feel they’re trying to be Chase Bliss so bad. Lol

[@ArtyShat]

@@dorianford6227 What's bad about that? CB is an amazing pedal company and i wish more companies would take inspiration, just because Lamborghini Miura was the first supercar, nobody else should make their own supercars?

[@coastaltone9252]

NV _ME I feel like it’s an entirely different beast than chase bliss - this is more like a strymon feature wise but in a small footprint. CB is all about analog low fidelity type stuff where as this boasts the exact opposite

[@dorianford6227]

Artjom Šatalin nothing but they’re definitely competitors and it’s obvious they’re doing all they can to try and keep up with CBA, Strymon, and Méris. Hence the earlier comments.

[@rossedwards73]

Thanks, Henning - this video convinced me to pull the trigger!

[@sassycat]

Oh my, I think I'm in love with this pedal.

[@eddaymusic]

Thanks Henning! I just ordered one of these puppies 👍

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

I don’t need another delay - but this

[@slo_carry]

I like the Walrus Audio D1, but I had to go for the Keeley Eccos. Most of my board consist of Walrus, JHS and Keeley. I love all three and will probably end up with the D1 sometime in the distant future. Thanks for the demo, it was wonderful!

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

Go with source audio..

[@slo_carry]

@@Mesa3077Boogie Too late. Eccos wil be here tomorrow...

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

@@slo_carry so how's the pedal

[@slo_carry]

@@Mesa3077Boogie so far it's pretty great. I was out of town for the weekend and only got to play with it for about an hour last night. I like to use it as an ambient type delay, but it does slap back and a few other delays quite nicely. The FDBK knob is interesting... all the others turn hard and smooth, but a bump on this one and it turns all the way around. Must be because of the different style for the push/alt settings in the pedal.

[@mrnewty2]

I Like that guitar,,

[@coreym2948]

Excellent review... I like that pedal.

[@Zekroft]

Man I love this pedal. Great vids too! Nice PRS, I have the same guitar

[@adriansoul7223]

Is there a delay pedal that does what this one does only with the digital setting? All those options were enough for me already.

[@bioquery]

16:47 incredible 😂

[@FastRedPonyCar]

This, the Strymon Dig, the UA Starlight or the Keeley Halo?

[@BTNMNKI]

Anyone know how the analog mode compares to the Strymon Brigadier?

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

Great Video and Review! Thank you!🎸🎼

[@shckltnebay]

Has Henning ever done a Cab room vid? DD-200 or this?

[@ismagine]

Is boss did-200 similar, better?

[@drumtarist08]

Has anyone tried using this with MIDI??? I have this with a boss es5 but I’m having trouble with sending messages and setting the midi channel.

[@GabaranRickshaw]

I Kant wait!

[@puckovato]

I have this pedal and I found the following problem, every time I edit and save a preset, when I turn the pedal off and turn it on again, the previously saved presets are deleted, can this error be corrected or am I simply not using this pedal correctly? Thanks for the help, excellent video 🙏

[@martenmeij]

It matches your sweater :)

[@karimgurrola6472]

Is there a way to leave the trails on this thing? Once you turn it off, the trails also die U.u

[@rayzorback88]

Put in buffered bypass mode turn and trails on

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Seems like everyone video you put out...there's a pedal in it I must buy! Lol Awesome video...and that pedal inspires...it inspired you I can see...love that about new gear... yes... I know I have a "problem"... it's called GAS... and yes... you gave it to me... and yes...Thank ...You! Lol 😎🎸

Who stabbed your guitar with pointy scissors? Love the pedal.

[@zevik84]

Henning, great video. which is closer to timeline, this or dd200?

[@EytschPi42]

neither

[@zevik84]

@@EytschPi42 which do you like better? I dont know what to buy haaa. I have the dd8 which is nice but not enough for me.. I need dual delay at minimum

[@briandooley3952]

Man I kinda wanted to get this till I realized you can't use your second output unless it's engaged. I currently have a source audio nemesis running into a stereo looper running to two amps. I was thinking this thing would be cooler and more stripped down (source audio app and all is almost too much) but without having stereo pass through that doesn't work and quite frankly is disappointing from a company I love

[@JonathanT.Nelson]

It has stereo pass through in the dsp bypass mode, just not the true bypass mode.

[@gilmarriner3011]

Awesome pedal and video. But, why oh why Henning are you making me spend more money. Now I have to have one!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

So I have tried all bypass modes like walrus audio said, why is it that when I bypass the pedal this is the only pedal in the world is it all of a sudden put your signal on the left side so if you have headphones plugged in your cab sim or whatever all of a sudden your guitar signal comes out of the left side. So I can basically never bypass the pedal. FYI. Mono in... And stereo out.

[@blayneb7290]

If I understand your question: Needs to be set to "DSP Bypass" mode to achieve mono in and mono out to both left and right when bypassed (per the manual): Audio Input and Output - The Mako D1 offers multiple input and output configurations. o Mono In / Mono Out - Use the top set of jacks for mono in - mono out. o Mono In / Dual Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode. o Stereo In / Stereo Out o Stereo In / Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode. So there must be something wrong if you're in DSP Bypass mode and it is only coming out the Mono (left) side. Have you been able to resolve this? I want to get one but am hesitant now. :(

[@DeconTheMonkey]

Dope! So çool. I want one!

[@javiermp81]

11:45 -> Why does it only do stereo when the pedal is on? What if I have a stereo amp setup and do not want delay all the time?

[@andreafox7267]

I was wondering the same. The pdf manual on their website says with mono in and dual mono out you need to be in “DSP Bypass” mode. Perhaps Henning had a different mode selected? The manual says this about the bypass modes: Bypass Mode - The D1 offers three bypass modes. True Bypass, DSP+True Bypass, and DSP Bypass. In True Bypass mode, the D1 uses relays to bypass the pedal. In DSP+True Bypass mode, the D1 allows the delay echoes to ring out before bypassing via relays. In DSP Bypass mode, the D1 uses the DSP to bypass the pedal.

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Andrea is correct! Changing the bypass mode will enable that.

[@maxupp]

I want it.

[@ajleslie2]

What is the guitar! It’s fing sick!

[@tiza8654]

First. Now my life goal is gone

[@markgamache6377]

Is there a Mako series road map? Will they all have midi?

[@alexbreyer6921]

Let's hope so. I'd love a reverb this size with MIDI.

[@markgamache6377]

Alex Breyer chase bliss dark world is that size with midi and source audio true spring does too (I think)

[@alexbreyer6921]

@@markgamache6377 Yes, thanks. My issue is Dark World covers the "out there" reverbs but not enough of the standard. I think I'd love it at first and then just want something that helps me jam with people easily. The True Spring seems pretty cool actually, but then it's too much a standard Spring, with some other effects I'm less concerned about for this spot on the board. And it uses USB for the MIDI connect. I need a Goldie Locks Reverb!

[@Mesa3077Boogie]

Mehh.. I'l be keeping my source audio nemesis, buying back my Strymon El Capistan, saving for an SDD 3000 and looking right past this.. After the god awful Walrus Audio chirpingly noisy Bellwether and sub par Walrus Descent reverb, I won't be coming back to Walrus (no matter how cool the paint job or enclosure) any time soon.

[@g.m.1672]

Nemesis is great delay. I don't believe this one is better than it soundiwse.

[@pedal4review722]

€318 on thomman ...I can get tc 2x4 for 200

[@Cmay7]

Yes, and for the 118 that is left, you can buy the TC Flashback 2 and a large coffee! I am in the market for a new delay, but I am not sure if this is the best in this price range. I am not in a hurry, because my TC Flashback is stil very much fun. Currently I am impressed with Free The Tone Future Factory or Flight Time Delay but maybe NAMM will show something else.

[@axblists]

This is the kind of pedal which shouldn't be a pedal: control box on a mic stand / optional floor controller via MIDI

[@alexbreyer6921]

@@archibaldikowski3646 I don't know if it's a full replace for a reverb, but it depends on how you do reverb. Some guys just use delay to fill out that atmosphere. I think Slo has a very specific type of sound that is not a general reverb. Get this and then something general spring style, even if it's like a HOF mini.
