FIRST SOUNDS // Walrus M1 Mkii - This is Not Just a MKii, This is a Whole New Pedal!!! // NO TALKING

[@gigaha]

Great demo. Clearly an amazing sounding pedal and I remain a Walrus fan. Surprised they didn’t call it the M2 instead of M1 MKii. Anyway, looks like it’s massively easier to use than MKi with all those confusing submenus and switches that it had. I got tired of referring to the manual and boxed it up. I think Josh Scott recently said no ‘classic’ pedals have screens. As multi-effects pedals like this go, I think the classics will be ones like Hologram Chroma. A lot of us use pedals to escape screens or to hear an analog circuit - otherwise we’d just use the many high quality, low cost DAW plugins. The M1 MKii seems to me like a hifi Zoom MultiStomp, except those actually can do more things. My conclusion (with the help of your demo) is that this sounds great but I prefer the form factor/design of other pedals. If someone is going to look at a screen and pay $399, I’d recommend they get a used HX Stomp. So you going to keep it?

oh that's a hard question to answer! When I got the first M1, I liked it so much that I used the vinyl lo-fi sound on a lot of tracks on the first Swallowed by Sound album, then it inspired me to get their Julianna because I like the chorus so much, and then the Monumental because I liked the tremolo so much! This Mkii can do a whole lot more, so we shall see!

Ive been trying to choose a Modulation pedal with midi and canniot choose. Synesthesia..Mobius...terrorform...etc etc. Should I choose this one??

[@ACIDLOVE.]

I should add....this video didn't sell it to me :(

[@thepedalcollaborative]

I wouldn't say this video was intended to "sell" you on it, but to give you an idea of the sounds it can make right off the bat. The First Sounds videos are meant more to show you how easy it is to get sounds, the depth of parameters, etc.

I haven't tried the Synethesia or Terraform, but I believe the Synethesia can do 2 modulation effects at the same time. Definitely something to check out!

[@ACIDLOVE.]

@@thepedalcollaborative for sure! That’s what it did too..I want to love a modulation pedal but am yet to find the one. This may well be the one or the synesthesia…but then I think..just get a h90. Haha

[@thepedalcollaborative]

@ACIDLOVE. Oh the H90! I want one too haha
