Walrus Audio Lillian 4 or 6 Stage Phaser | Reverb Tone Report Demo

[@tonym7648]

Now we need a chorus/phaser combo pedal… named Julian! Thank you, I’m here all week.

[@whitmore-project]

My friend, we have the Julian univibe

[@neopythagorean]

I want the Polyjulian-all wired parallel with stereo outputs and L/R faders for all three circuits.

[@bigdaddy496]

Should we try the veal?

[@fxman8]

Anyone going to mention the shoe being held by hand during the momentary footswitch display? 2:10

[@omarbell4579]

Andy has no legs confirmed!

[@binface9]

He has apelike hand-feet

[@AndyDemos]

Just seeing if anyone is paying attention :)

[@GrindfatherJones]

I immediately scrolled to the comments after I saw that to see if anyone brought it up

[@philspill6854]

New Balance

[@jimmyhoffa2530]

Its a phaser that can do a convincing uni-vibe sound. I love how walrus audio modulation pedals have that dry-wet mix knob. It really allows for a lot of personal tailoring of sounds.

[@jerrylong4651]

Everybody put a demo of this out on the same day, yours is definitely the best Andy. you still got it!

[@frankconcepcion6593]

Was there ever any doubt? Andy's still the GOAT

[@domokornmusic]

That’s about the best phase pedal I’ve heard, love it!

[@andre.as.kyriakou]

Just sitting here thinking the same thing

[@LunaticTheCat]

I normally normally wouldn't use a phase pedal, but this one is an exception.

[@chrisnagy1429]

Hokey Smokes. Phasers are a tough one I think. This sounded really good and not cheesy or one-dimensional. I especially liked that Uni_Vibe type sound toward the end of the video. I think that sold me. Walrus has released a plethora of cool pedals recently and to me two of the three are upgrades. The Slo Reverb is too much like the Fathom which I already own and love. The Monument V2 is awesome with the upgrades, but my favorite is this, The Lillian. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the aforementioned pedals, yet in its simplicity, I think Walrus nailed down an excellent phaser. No easy feat. Keeping it simple may be the best recipe, but damn the others are so good.

[@mktmktmkt]

they always make good lookin pedal.

[@LunaticTheCat]

And good sounding most importantly

[@Apopheniomind]

Not last ones...

[@kiefdemon1979]

The shoe held by hand thing killed me 🤣🤣

[@Kaboom66613]

Top mounted jacks make this pretty much the best pedal ever (along with every other pedal that has top mounted jacks)

[@Leblackstone]

You can phase at four or six phasers or just one!

[@jarrod9052]

No Andy I will not buy another pedal! damn I truly view the vids to educate myself then you make me fall in love with all these pedals . You’re probably responsible for at least half of my pedal collection .This phase is awesome , okay you win

[@tcw8287]

Only half? I don't believe you

[@nigelthebald]

I'm convinced! Just bought one second hand on the basis of this video.

[@gregkay5891]

So....a few people have said that this is similar to the EHX Bad Stone. I bought the Lillian sight unseen thinking hey, since I love my Bad Stone, more of that, better! But you know what - this sounds almost nothing like my 70's EHX Bad Stone. I can easily hear more comb cancellation going on with the Bad Stone - it isn't as thick as the Lillian - more of a jet whoosh. And the Bad Stone makes the full cycle of the phasing in a more satisfying way, while the Lillian seems to rush part of the cycle. The Lillian sounds great on faster cycle vibe stuff - like what Andy is demoing. The ability to switch between 4 and 6 stages is a truly great feature that adds a lot of audible tonal choices. The D.P.V. thing on the other hand is just ok. Not that useful over its range. A 4 way switch might've been nicer there. Just my opinion. This all analog pedal has a really warm and full tone. And it isn't the cheapest of cheap. Buy used and save.

[@edadpops1709]

Very cool intro pedal and playing .love the backing tracks in your vids.

[@MichaelJones-ti9fx]

I’ve been listening to a lot of phaser pedals. I like this one best.

[@markhammer643]

I find 6 stages to be about the sweet spot for guitar-oriented phasers. I've built 8-stagers, have an RPH-10, which can do 12 stages, and have witnessed demonstrations of as many as 24 stages. While phasing with more stages (and more notches) can sound amazing, and almost flanger-like, when used with wide-bandwidth sources (e.g., white noise, acoustic sources), electric guitars and the amps we use them with, simply don't have the bandwidth to make all those extra notches and peaks audible. That's why 6-stagers tend to yield optimal phasing for guitar.

[@alexbreyer6921]

interesting

[@mattgilbert7347]

EHX Bad Stone is 6 or 8?

[@markhammer643]

@@mattgilbert7347 Near as I can tell, only 6.

[@mattwoodward]

Maybe this could be a contender to solve my phaser problem. My Phase 95, in certain situations, will pick up stray rf noise through the power input. Because of its small size, it lacks some of the noise cancelling circuitry found in the the bigger MXR pedals. I found this out the hard way at a gig where there was an enormous L.E.D. display (l.e.d. emits rf), and it rendered the Phase 95 unusable. I tried 4 different power supplies, different cables, everything. It was the only pedal on my board picking up noise. Contacted the maker, and they suggested buying one of their phasers that can use a battery. In the old days , all we had to worry about was neon lights, but now, L.E.D. displays, wifi, cell phones, are the modern problems that need to be addressed by pedal builders. I can't tell you how many "boutique" pedals I have had to return because they do not make the effort to eliminate rf interference from the design. So when you play gigs where there are big flat screens everywhere sometimes covering entire walls, L.E.D. light displays at the stage, wifi systems, on and on, you have to have gear that is made right or you get the noise, and away that piece of gear will go. You will not find this problem in the mainstream pedals like Boss, Ibanez, because they know how to design circuits to not have this problem. Not all boutique builders do. Life is too short for noisy gear.

[@tds2117]

New Balance product placement!

[@brayanfloresramirez8764]

Best pedal by Walrus, by a long shot

[@kunkmiceter]

Try the Polychrome 👍

[@petehamrick7213]

Whats the name of the song being played for the intro? Sounds great!

[@mspaint6274]

I'm not a guitarist, but I'd buy this just because of a design

[@maxrockatansky8399]

Damn, this pedal sounds great. Almost makes me want to sell my phase 90...

[@kevinkinnu341]

Maybe the most musical sounding phaser I've heard yet

[@Taylor_King]

Is the vibrato similar to the vibrato on the julia?

[@neopythagorean]

Damn that intro sounded good.

[@jakekremer218]

Gotta love Andy

[@bluepedalsrock9271]

Dude made a better demo than Walrus, lmao. This is phenomenal!

[@Danocaster214]

Sounds to me that even on full vibrato there's still a healthy amount of clean signal passing through. Hrmmm. The wet part of the sound always sounds layered on rather than saturating the tone. Am I missing something?

[@fjrabon]

Danocaster you literally can’t have a phaser without mixing dry and effected signal. Without mixing in dry signal it’s a vibrato effect. What creates the phasing is the mix. The mix goes from dry (100% dry) to classic phaser (50/50 dry and effected) to vibrato (100% effected). So, by definition, any time you have phasing you have mixed in dry signal. It’s what creates the effect in the first place.

[@STRATMAN1969]

@@fjrabon I found your reply very informative .I knew that's how chorus worked ,but I never realized that one of the signals in phasers was dry. I just figured that's what out of phase looked like. I'm running a wet/dry rig now ,and i'm looking into this pedal because it's a phaser, not a chorus that has a vibrato side .My thinking is I don't need a chorus any more .I can just use the vibe in to the wet amp and get a chorus effect .

[@archivosrockchile]

El parecido entre Andy e Iván Guerrero (ex notero de CQC) en este video, es impresionante 🤣

😂

[@rickc2102]

If this also had a 2-stage it'd be perfect.

[@countstoneula]

Lots of people have done that in the past. TC Electronic, DEADfx come to mind. Such a great idea though. :)

[@johnpiotrowski3108]

At 4:50, was sounding like "Riding The Storm Out".

[@RoosterFruit]

What song is he playing during the intro?

[@guillermosaar]

sounded like a Help on the way/slipknot transition jam.

[@Farold_Haltermeyer]

Can I FINALLY retire my Bad Stone?

[@bitmx]

yes

[@spookywharton]

I just did. My Lillian is on the way

[@gregkay5891]

I own the Lillian. It sounds great. I also own a Bad Stone. It also sounds great. But they don't sound the same. Note even close.

[@gojero732]

Do I want Lillian with me? Or a really good uni-vibe in the same price category?

[@scottjennings2942]

Has anyone mentioned Commander Data in the background there???? 🤔

[@nunoharris]

Hi. What distortion pedal are you using with the Phaser? Thanks.

[@kiefdemon1979]

So not a univibe?

[@Peetie_Wheatstraw]

Great sounding phaser. Anyone know this: Is Kenny Wayne Shepherd using a phaser or univibe on "Blue On Black"?

[@liamtahaney713]

the vibrato reminds me of when the levee breaks

[@Galacticgospel.]

can't decide between this and the sonic orb

[@andrewsmall4865]

Why spend the extra money on this vs a Phase 95? Or, why not splurge for the KMA Horizont?

[@bjhale542]

I keep thinking this or horizont. It's a tough one. For many reasons.

[@MonsieurSafari]

Is there a new phaser out? 🤔😂

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

Doesn’t seem to go slow enough. At 9 o’clock the speed is still quite fast

[@bigdaddy496]

I think its funny he used a shoe to show us how the footswitch works

[@djc5897]

Can't stand phasers with high speed useless obnoxious warbling 95% of youtube demos do it with this pedal. It's agitating who the hell buys a phaser to use it as a poor man's Leslie?

[@randygeist666]

Sounds good, But I dont like the artwork. And as we all know the graphics are the most important part of pedals

[@mktmktmkt]

Randy Geist well i like this

[@MeatyController]

Lol it's hideous!

[@cedarandsound]

the artwork is incredible

[@georgek5665]

Hopefully their footswitch isn't the same garbage one they used on the Julia.

[@zachmilliken4450]

If you hold it down it becomes a momentary effect so I'm guessing it's a new soft switch

[@Necroctulhu]

Why did they need to paint some kamikadze over it though...

[@yomuthabyotch]

This sounds almost exactly like my EHX Bad Stone. Just get the BS instead and save money. Don't fall for the "boutique" hype anymore; that was so 2014.

[@LentilsOverkill]

The Bad Stone makes a horrible pop when you turn it on or off. Also this doesn't sound that much like a bad stone. Also a bad stone can't switch between 4 and 6 stages.

[@yomuthabyotch]

@@LentilsOverkill sounds more like a BS than a phase 90 to me. id bet this is an OTA phaser like the EHX phasers. plus, i don't need fancy settings; i mainly fiddle around with the rate anyway.

[@LentilsOverkill]

@@yomuthabyotch Lots of "I's" in that statement. Good for you, that you don't want tweak-ability and are content with a popping footswitch, a feedback knob that goes from 0-100 at around the 3 o'clock mark, and a useless manual mode. The rest of us like having alternatives.

[@yomuthabyotch]

@@LentilsOverkill yeah good for you too if you wanna pour hundreds of bucks on derivative products that pass for boutique pedals these days. the rest of us--meaning players like me--enjoy actual playing, not messing with switches and knobs on a pedal.

[@LentilsOverkill]

​@@yomuthabyotch I'm sorry that adjusting a couple extra knobs is such a mental strain for you that it robs you of your ability to play. Developmental disabilities must be tough to live with.
