Walrus Audio MAKO D1 High-Fidelity Delay

[@LyndonWesleyMusic]

Thanks for another brilliant demo, Mike. Your methodical, no-nonsense approach has given me a great overview of what the D1 is all about. Plus, your playing and musicality are always inspiring. I guess this is why you continue to be my first stop when I'm researching pedals!

Love this version of a classic U2 song Pride (In The Name of Love) thanks for the rad demo.

[@SAEEFFECTS]

Not a big U2 guy but that opening is fantastic! Well done sir!

[@jadcasen8995]

a tip: you can watch series at kaldroStream. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@vincentreuben8000]

@Jad Casen definitely, I have been using kaldroStream for since november myself =)

[@alainfanjeaux9269]

Always good Mike Herman ,thèse sounds are wonderful

[@stevensrp2music985]

What a Gorgeous sounding Delay!

[@bluesifyme]

Definitely has CBA visual aesthetic, but sounds so sweet. I couldn’t bond with Tonal Recall. Watched couple of videos of this pedal and it sounds amazing from the first note played.

[@VisualGuy]

Pretty sure I'm going to own this. And I'll probably be about 180 of your soon to be very high view count! Thanks as always Mike!

Appropriate song choice for the demo and timing...Martin Luther King did beautiful things here on earth. I have the thermae. This pedal has that feel in its sound to me from the demos I've seen. The Thermae has dreamy echo sounds...very organic. I see D1 is stereo. Amazing! How long have we asked the Chase Bliss for such? I only have the SLO from Walrus. If it's touching that way it can sit in a mix in your effects loop the way the SLO does...its probably amazing to play. This coupled with price point makes this pedal a pursuit for me. Delays are wonderful.

Nice ! U2 FOREVER. I was thinking about getting the Tc electronic flashback but when I herd this one this sounds a little close to Unforgettable fire guitar tone. 🤘😎

[@drahtmachine4601]

Well, it's a big price difference. The flashback does his job pretty well for the money

[@luffyhegalong7915]

Great Intro to introduce a delay!

[@spieglass3211]

Pedal sounds excellent, great demo as always.

[@pedalscapes]

Sounding great Mike, cheers :)

[@MrFuzzleupagus]

Awesome demo! I’m checking this one out since Walrus Audio and Sweetwater are knocking $100 off right now. I also have my eye on the Strymon Timeline, but that one is a bit pricier. What is your opinion: pull the trigger on this one or save up for the Strymon? Thanks!

[@FastRedPonyCar]

This or the strymon Dig? or something else I don't know about yet? UA Echostation? full stereo in/out is required

[@JSmith-mu3fq]

Do all the parameters work together simultaneously or do they only operate as which one your on?

[@KenLasaine]

Seductive demo (as usual). How easy/quick is it to change pre-sets with the onboard foot switches?

[@kconway75ify]

Tap both buttons at the same time. Easy peasy.

[@merlyescalderon6081]

Which do you prefer Mako D1 or Eccos (Keeley)?

[@johncruz1811]

mer mer come on mike I have the same question?

[@nathanschad8048]

Same question, Edit; I own the Kelley eccos and it’s awesome. Ask me anything. The eccos has an expression pedal in and separate remote in and this one doesn’t, your able to blend in or out the effects with the exp pedal on the eccos. And the eccos has a looper which you can also use the exp pedal to fade in or out the effect. This seems to have more parameters then the eccos though tweekability wise

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

This or keely eccos?

[@jonashuckphoto]

how is the noise floor of this pedal? I couldn't use the ARP-87 because even in bypass mode it increased the noise floor a lot. Returned my first one because I couldn't believe it wasn't broken. Second one had the same amount of noise. I really did my homework while trouble shooting to eliminate all other variables like cables or bad power supplies. Yet I loved the sound of the delay. This one sounds amazing as well and I like the small form factor. It it's low noise this would be amazing!

[@jonashuckphoto]

@Brady Stromme I've got the Mako D1 now and it's dead quiet! Guess that has to do with the new shark technology in the Mako series.

[@jfree336]

Man....just when I thought I was done buying delay pedals...

[@LyndonWesleyMusic]

You and me both!

[@DalelCampbell]

Hmm, 250 would have been perfect.

[@sergiorojas5017]

Get it used ;)

[@billmint8122]

That reverse delay isn't really reversed, is it? Strange

[@bioklastik1062]

It's strange that this is the only demo of it where the reverse doesn't sound reversed.. I wonder what was up with that.

[@sergiorojas5017]

What does your board look like these days?

[@legaspiaudio9830]

The Strymon DIG sounds soooo much better, & offers a richer tone. I had the opportunity to try the walrus D1 & found the presets , & operation to be worth much Less than your asking price. In fact I think your product is overpriced for what it does thus, returned it to my local guitar center.. Just keeping it real!

[@TCMx3]

Mike great playing as always. But I have to laugh at this thing. Walrus is clearly trying to evoke the Chase Bliss aesthetic/thing but in typical Walrus fashion they just always come up with some uninspired white bread verison of whatever they are trying to do, and this one doesn't even have the clever graphics they normally have. Plus by the time you are spending 300 on a delay you are probably also able to swing a Tonal Recall, Timeline/Source Audio delay or whatever Alexander delay you like depending on what you want.

[@popintothechemist]

TCM I have to strongly disagree. This is one of my favorite Delay pedals. I bonded with it right away. And it doesn’t really have anything in common with Chase Bliss stuff... same amount of knobs I guess...

[@spieglass3211]

the attack knob is unique and brilliant, and the only way it really seems like a CBA pedal is visually. It has lots of voicings and different delays all in one. CBA has too much going on with their stuff for me, not sure what the problem is here.

[@TCMx3]

@@popintothechemist If you like it Im sure it's a good pedal. But personally I do feel when I look at it that it's definitely trying to cop Chase Bliss' design cues. It's not just the number of knobs, it's the two rows on top and then 3 switches, plus some of the line aesthetics, coupled with probably unavoidable stuff like the footswitch/light location and the side jack layout that to me scream also-ran from CBA. Just what I see when I look at it.

[@liamtahaney713]

Hmmm I happen to really like walrus. I'm not sure how one could reasonably claim their stuff is "uninspired" or "white bread." Lillian, Julian, and monument are all basically best in class for their modulation flavor at their price. The slo and fathom are both highly regarded verbs. They make tons of great dirt pedals. So I mean, we all bond with different things, but I think objectively walrus makes a lot very excellent pedals.

[@bobisadrummer]

The thing that sets this apart from the other pedals in its range is the dual delay setting.

[@scottmckinney1856]

Bad to the bone
