Ambient Guitar on a Budget | Walrus Audio Ambient

[@andsoistopped]

If you were beginning your ambient journey this would be an amazing pedal.

[@howardmaryon]

Chords of Orion will go bonkers for this!

[@PooNinja]

Agreed

[@TheloniousBosch]

Why?

[@stuartdennis8506]

…and use so many swells that’ll it sound like everything else out there

[@TheMerc1950]

I think this is a steal of a pedal for the price.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I agree sir!

[@moewhocooper]

Been looking for this kinda of reverb. Not sure what to get but this is on the maybe list

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It wouldn’t be my only Reverb, but it would definitely be on the list of fun reverbs for me

[@KoaCharvel]

I use the Slötva for my ambient at the moment.

[@davidthomas5035]

Oh! That was pretty good Andy. I completely understood the "let it wash over" comment. Made perfect sense to me.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Dude your playing is well cool if I was half as good as you I would be a very happy bunny, and I've been playing for 45 years!

[@cantbuymelove]

Excellent, Andy! Looking forward to this!

[@nerdebynature]

Really loved hearing the "dark mode" with the bright pickup!

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Cheers David! Great combination

[@jeromewagschal9485]

Looks like I've found my perfect reverb/ambient pedal 🙂🙂 The volume swells on the Suhr really sound like something Dave Gilmour would use...

[@peterhall4852]

I really like the sliders. Andy, is it better to add delay ,in post, rather than live if going for the big ambience and you already have reverb? Do you need delay? Really good review. You extract the important stuff. 6:58

[@TheGuitarGeek]

It’s a great question Peter the answer is always to try it and see which one you prefer. I personally would put delay before Reverb if the reverb is giving a sense of space rather than acting as an effect as it is here there are no hard and fast rules, good luck experimenting!

@@TheGuitarGeek I'm going all Radiohead when I buy this pedal.

[@geeker211]

This is such a great review of this pedal, thanks so much, its very helpful!

[@onlyusernameleft2]

I bought the Ambient reverb a last week and just started messing around with it. This is the first time I've used a verb that specializes in ambient tones and the first pedal I've purchased from WA. My always-on reverb is the Boss RV-6, a pretty standard, utilitarian pedal. All the ambient verbs I've dabbled before now were affordable ones that included conventional reverbs along with ambient ones but excelled at neither. Good for experimenting, nothing too exciting. One I used the a lot was the Joyo Atmosphere, and some patches I made on a Boss multieffects pedal. The WA Ambient equals the RV-6 in audio fidelity with more flexibility in the controls. The RV-6 lacks a mix control but using the stereo right input and mono left output acts an an secret kill-dry. The WA Ambient verb compliments the RV-6 well; it's like DLC for the RV-6. They'll be side by side on my board for a while.

[@alexc3744]

Great review of a great pedal, I'd say. Some terrific tones and imaginative playing.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you. The pedal makes some lovely sounds

[@PooNinja]

Lovely room. And the new studio looks cool too.

[@Alan-zf2tt]

@ 8:55 or thereabouts Hey Andy! That was pretty good. Coupled with a Harley Benton Travelmate? But will those go down well at a foot stompin beer festival? And as for "Here Comes The Bride"? - her mascara might run? Yet - like you say - it is a great effect (on downside bucket delays never seem to quieten down buckets with longish delays leading to cacophony? If only they could stop that feedback loop from becoming chaotic))

[@ArrakisOCE]

Where is the pedal made? What chip does it use? How much of the signal is analog?

[@julianmartinez862]

Is the phaser effect coming from the ambient pedal?

[@worthmoremusic]

It's a really great pedal Andy and I totally agree regarding great first choice in ambient pedals...but when it comes to reverb and especially ambient music, I'm in love with Poly Verb, Hologram Microcosm OR Soma's Cosmos. Ever check any of those out ?

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Yes! A video on the Poly verb is on its way.

[@alfredski007]

Did send it back. The output volume is much to low and it had a noisy buzz. May be not the others.

[@brianday2054]

Great review, with some lovely playing, thanks Andy. I've been thinking of getting into ambient music a lot lately, and your reviews of the Slo and Fable almost had me spending money I couldn't/shouldn't! This seems like the perfect pedal to dip my toe in to soundscaping while keeping it economically justifiable.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

This is EXACTLY how I feel but beware, it’s a gateway pedal. Try stacking a cheap delay into this for even more weird and wonderful sounds

[@brianday2054]

@AndyGuitarGeek I've got a Line6 Verbzilla, which does lots of interesting reverbs but doesn't quite reach that level of ambience... so stacking that with the WA could be very interesting!

[@grumpyrocker]

Reminds me of the Old Blood Dark Star, but with fewer controls.

[@deanallen927]

Looking for a small "always on" splash of verb, like an amp reverb. But I don't think there should be a rule that it must be a spring verb, that's why I'm looking at this pedal. Love the "tails", aka "trails". I can't believe pedal makers who don't at least give you that choice on verbs and delays; kinda the point to me. Nice job.

[@samxday]

Yes to that Lovalet guitars. One of my new favourites

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

This thing sounds great and have to be on my pedalboard...

[@ShadeAssault]

I want one of these for my Bass

[@kicsisziszi]

Only a few of you demoers useing an sg. Nice to see you use one.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I love SGs

[@paulsmart5199]

sounds like an alright pedal. Reverb? Original trinity was my favourite. if its ambient then the canyon is a great pedal too. I'd like a straight forward shimmer pedal/ambient type pedal

[@lanceybaby]

Re: volume swells. Dear Andy, That was good. Please accept this as a form of validation. 😉 Kind regards, Lance Ps: video is awesome, and definitely adding this to my cheaper board. Thanks as always. Love the channel.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

😂😂😂 thanks Lance! Enjoy the pedal

[@michaelolz]

The swells you did with the Suhr Strat sounded like somebody’s first steps into heaven. That does not sound like an entry-level pedal.

[@mark.guitar]

Validation Andy? Oh... ok.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

😂

[@Robstafarian]

That was pretty good, Andy.

I so keep thinking after every video, he's gonna get in his Tardis and the creepy sound is gonna start.

[@mknewlan67]

That was pretty damn good Andy

[@TheGuitarGeek]

Thank you

[@rndbrl]

I think how to use fully mixed mode is to strum your guitar with chord that match swelling, next please review a pedal with correct way, no offense

[@PopsIntrepidPedaler]

That was some right proper and beautiful rubbish. Bill Vencil, Perry Frank, and Antoine Michaud will approve.

[@BooBoo-mv9if]

Sounds like a tv theme from the BBC

[@nosub8969]

Supermassive Valhalla does all of this and much much much (when will those boffins at Microsoft add an infinity key/symbol on their keyboards)more for free

[@BooBoo-mv9if]

Mate… just love the show! Keep it up plus ur a funny bloke. See i am sharing my cocky cockney…. I am a yank lol

[@juanjan__]

Great review as usual (although your eyes in the thumbnail are creepy af haha), and the pedal sounds like it does what it's supposed to do, but this whole line of Warlus is SO UGLY. And I love sliders! But wow... hard to look at. They should contact the people at OBNE regarding how to design beautiful pedals with sliders :-P

[@TheGuitarGeek]

I need to check these creepy eyes! I like the sliders, they remind me of a radio I used as a kid to to pretend to be a DJ 😂

[@juanjan__]

@@TheGuitarGeek hahaha! Eyes: waaaay too blue. And sliders are amazing, but this pedal is just ugly imho. The OBNE Alpha Haunt does it better (and it’s a fuzz, so extra points there) because it’s pretty to look at. Even the JHS 3 series are a lot prettier than this series, and they don’t have sliders! A missed opportunity 😂😂
