Walrus Audio Fundamental AMBIENT Reverb | A new standard in affordable ambient reverbs?

[@SaigonRidesAgain]

I love this, sounds great when dialed down and opens up beautifully also. At that price point it is hard to beat.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

totally! one of my favorite tones was LUSH mode set to a pretty modest decay and mix - just really elegant ambient verb. and then dial things up for expansive wash.

[@SonoranRedheadGuitar]

When dialed in, I think this is one of the best sounding reverbs for classical guitar. It blends into the dry signal so well, and each setting is absolutely beautiful

[@AmbientEndeavors]

yeah , this one is a gem in the budget FX category

[@JasonTMays]

Bruh!!!! You didn't have to go that hard with the intro...but you did and Im here for it!!!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

hahaha I know I didn't have to...but like I got into and was like "I HAVE to." you knowwww.

[@FriendOfTheNight24]

I second that

[@AmbientExploration]

Awesome demo! It’s great to see Walrus Audio expand their Fundamental range ❤

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Agreed! Curious to see what’s next in terms of contextual/motif-based pedals

[@AmbientMelancholy]

That intro music is bad ass dude. 10 out of 10 demo.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

aw thanks man - this was a fun one to write for sure.

[@Threeli]

It's like they took the slo and split it into two products: a premium stereo reverb & a stripped down more affordable reverb. I like it

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Definitely has shades of Slo!

[@daveclinton4945]

Sold. Thanks for the great run through!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

my pleasure! really impressed with this one too - thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the pedal!

[@SethDStanley]

I can't believe how much variation there is in just the sweep of those faders. I had this playing in the background and had to come back and see if you had switched the algorithm but it was still on Lush. Beautiful demo! That Haze setting sounds like an evolution of the Fathom Lo-Fi setting which is my favorite reverb of all time. I don't even have a pedalboard anymore (just Helix) and I'm tempted to grab this...

[@AmbientEndeavors]

yes! I could have spend 20 minutes with LUSH alone. tbh I don't know that I've ever played Fathom, but that's cool when it grabs from a few current inspos - it's a nicely packaged ambient playground / intro to ambient / etc etc and the simplicity is refreshing. thanks for watching man :D

[@echopark78]

That pedal sounds amazing through that Hiwatt. I just ordered it to go with my Hiwatt ss212

[@AmbientEndeavors]

I literally cannot stop playing this amp. It takes everything I throw at it so beautifully.

[@thatsmynamesowhat2949]

Just ordered it! Thanks for the demo!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

my pleasure. it's a fun one - hope you enjoy it!

[@terrenceduncanson2716]

There's something great about the tone on that short-scale bass that catches my ear! ❤🎵

[@AmbientEndeavors]

ok , that bass might be my FAV piece of gear to enter the studio in the last few years, and there has been A LOT of gear through here. It's so fun to play.

[@masterofreality230]

I would imagine most ambient players would be running stereo, but not all by far. Might be cool for a pre drive also. Either, good cheaper pedals is always a plus.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Yeah pre-drive would be a fun experiment. I’ve been really into mono tracking even for ambient compositions, and had fun doubling parts or just layering multiple tracks with this to create stereo dimension. Lots of ways to skin a cat!

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

I would put this easy on a smaller board you know you gonna go through a single amp with. Will it go on my personal main board tho? No.

[@signalpath]

Love that intro. This thing sounds massive!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Thx mang. Even mono verbs can sound big, ya know?

[@TheFlutecart]

I'm using an Afterneath for my cosmic verb for my melodic flute solos. Into Hardwire Supernatural for my always on modulated plate with pre-delay. This pedal almost does both, just needs several presets to let me switch. MIDI is the Way. But dang, the price on this is candy. Buy two!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

I regret not getting them to send me two for this vid to run in stereo ha! But honestly yea, there are some really solid ambient sounds in this one that are well worth the price of admission.

[@keithb5612]

Nice, thanks. Try to check out the M-Vave Mini Universe reverb pedal. There are some good reverb algorithms in it for a very low price.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

dear l*rd a new level of cheap! Wow. I feel good about throwing my money at Walrus - it's cool to get to support folks I've shook hands with and stuff. Lots of options in the budget world these days, I'd be curious of that one for comparison sake but some of those basement bargain options personally scare me off from the onset.

[@jpsatre]

that thing (mvave universe) sounds cheap

[@jayvsson]

Have it, its great, Def try it

[@keithb5612]

I have about x5 Walrus Audio pedals including the Slotva Reverb . I like all of them. The M-VAVE Mini Universe is worth a look though. I own it and there are a few caveats but certainly pedalboard friendly currently. Cheers

[@michaelmccormick1016]

I wonder how this might pair with the Cloudburst. Had to come back and listen with headphones. I like those slide bars. Never heard of these. Your demo sold me!

[@sirrobert23]

Looooove that mustang

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Right!? It’s really fun. Had to get it back in the rotation here :)

[@brianmiller3287]

Great job! Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more of your content. Love that Jupiter! I have the Comet... Oh yeah that reverb sounds fantastic.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Thanks man! Ahh, cool. I’m enamored with nearly everything Harmony has done.

[@wheresallthezombies]

Their fundamental distortion pedal is my favorite distortion tones from them. So cool. But, all their fundamental stuff is great. This one sounds great too! Also, that Hiwatt sounds so killer. I love it. Do you remember which “speaker” you used in the ox?

[@AmbientEndeavors]

ah that's cool , might have to check out the Dist! Love that they're branching out with this one - a lot to love about it for $129!

[@wheresallthezombies]

@@AmbientEndeavors plus the aesthetics are really cool. Like something you’d find in a pawn shop in the early 80s lol

[@poesybeat]

Finally a Walrus reverb I connect with. And it’s the cheapest one, lol.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Well that works out nicely. What others have you played?

[@poesybeat]

Had the Sloer for a day. Didn’t like the UI at all, and didn’t particularly connect with the algorithms. Owned the Fathom for about a year, but didn’t love it. My main reverbs are Flint and Dispatch Master, so this is a nice add-on to those. I can cover most anything with these three. I prefer running two or three reverb pedals rather than using a single big box do-it-all pedal. WYSIWYG knobs that way.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

yeah that makes a lot of sense. I love the sounds in Sloer , but agree that with an entire secondary layer of features it gets a bit complex. Flint is such a great foundation , and I bet this would pair/complement it really nicely.

[@bromporke]

What’s the red guitar?

[@AmbientEndeavors]

It’s the Harmony Jupiter Thinline

[@andsoistopped]

I think I have all my bases covered for ambient but if you were starting out I think it’s a fantastic option.

[@zachtunes]

Great video! If I have a Meris Mercury7 and it doesn't really click with me/dial in quickly, would you recommend this from your testing so far? For tones like DIIV; chorusy, sometimes overdriven and sometimes heavy. Shoegaze, Post-Rock, etc.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

I think it'd be a killer verb for shoe gaze / post-rock stuff. I didn't get to trying it before drives, but I bet HAZE would be really cool in that setting. And the control scheme is dead. simple. vs the M7.

[@zachtunes]

@@AmbientEndeavorsYeah, the M7 gives off the impression of being "simple" because it only has 2 verb sounds, but with the amount of extra options after it you end up feeling kind of lost tinkering with things, and never truly getting to where you want to. (at least that's my experience) I love pedals that hone in on a sound quickly.

[@barolecaskin8673]

Brooo you got that intro on Spotify or something? 👀😂 so good.

[@CloudyNoodling]

What drive pedal in intro?

[@AmbientEndeavors]

EAE Limelight v2

[@elijahgomez3376]

Awesome demo in the beginning, also asking how the mustang is! They look like awesome guitars

[@ValWillKay]

Wait, are you recording in the JHS studio?

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Pretty much haha. I don’t think they have as many Matchless amps tho 🤔

[@hal312]

That's a beautiful quote on your wall

[@realbluemeanie]

Is it me or is it clipping in deep mode?

[@ryancarrera166]

Representing MN in the video. I love it. Twins and Zvex. Can’t go wrong with either!

[@AmbientEndeavors]

yes!! MN lifer, and nothing but love for the ZVEX crew. Where are you at?!

[@rawlfernan3179]

Fantastic intro.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

aw thanks man . was a fun one to write!

[@michaelmccormick1016]

1:58 I needed to hear that more than you know.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

This one’s for you 🍻 haha, had to take it to the next level :)

[@FoxEvades]

How can you create a pedal this good and not make it stereo ffs 😭

[@AmbientEndeavors]

haha, I mean that was probably never the point with this specific pedal. But I hear ya. All of the intro sketch was multi-tracked mono and layered and mixed in stereo so I think there's still a compelling case for it as is. Otherwise definitely check out SLOER - that's the jam if you're needing stereo.

[@humabout]

The string squeaks are killing me. Learn to shift positions without sounding like you started playing last week.

[@AmbientEndeavors]

Man thanks for the feedback! Hope you have an awesome day 👍🏼

[@whiskyjack802]

I think your playing is great! Keep doing what your doing man. I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. All the best;)
