Should You Buy the Walrus Audio Voyager Mkii?

I would 100% run this on my board, every time Dave fretted about the sound he was getting I was like "yes!" Appreciate the honest take though!

Haha! That's awesome, dude! This is why KZbin is such a great place to chat and discuss. You need to borrow this one and make some content with it!

Perhaps it is your settings or setup, in most videos and live listening, it is indeed a klone.

[@buyorborrowmusic]

Give it a try and see! It's not that it's a bad pedal, but when comparing this to other Klones it's not on the same level as something like the Origin Halcyon Gold or even the J Rocket Archer. It's still a fun pedal, but not our favorite of the bunch.

I think it's your amp it's supposed to be an overdrive pedal.

[@buyorborrowmusic]

Lol, right on

Not sure what you mean by 3 dimensional? But if you surf over to Shawn Tubbs' or Mike Hermans' reviews of this pedal they got infinitely better sounds out of it. Klon's are intentionally nasally. It's what makes them klons. Not every pedal gels with every rig, or player.

Thanks for your thoughts! We're doing a first impressions here. No fancy studio setup or tracks like Shawn or Mike. Those guys are great but we're only trying to capture a raw out-of-the-box application without studio magic. Candidly, in our opinion, this pedal does not stack up against other Klones. What we find "2 dimensional" is that it lacks the frequency range of other Klones (less sparkle and also less low end) as well as feeling generally more compressed. We've compared it to the Warm Audio Centavo as well as the Origin Halcyon Gold and both of the competitors exhibit better dynamics, wider frequency range, more touch sensitivity, and significantly more output volume. No shade to Walrus, this is still a good pedal and will fit well if you want a very mid-heavy focused drive. We love the mid-control. It's just not in the same category as other Klones we've played.
