Walrus Audio Mako Series: D1 High-Fidelity Stereo Delay Tech Demo

[@DroneCorpse]

Y'all really chased bliss with this one.

[@TeslaChad]

Sid R. I think that was the intention 😂 did the same to me bro

[@dayspro5516]

honestly i think this is better than chase bliss tbh. its cheaper than most chase bliss pedals and its stereo in/stereo out.

[@vminator]

RKM delay has a hold function though. I guess many other functions. But I still sold mine and went back to the good old DD6.

[@TeslaChad]

DaysPro I respect Chase Bliss and his art. But holy crap do gear nerds see that price and think it’s the best thing that’s every been made. Guitar players hear with their eyes. They see the most expensive one and then HAVE to have it.

[@santorashane]

This guy is stellar! Build My Life right into Threads. Solid.

[@Grapebotdd]

I see you sneakin in Build My Life at 3:10...

Immediately followed by the riff from This Will Destroy You's "Threads"

[@orionduckstein9202]

Walrus, you guys make such beautiful sounding pedals

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Orion Duckstein thank you!!

[@GuitarJesse7]

Just bought this today. I’m lookin forward to experimenting and creating some presets. I heard “Build My Life” in there too as some others commented.

[@cryss5824]

Mannn, your playing style is so refreshing to the soul.

[@Kwaician]

I WILL BUILD MY LIFE UPON YOUR LOVE ✝️. Wonderful pedal I'm about to buy V2

[@samvarma]

Bravo! This might be the perfect, ultimate delay...

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Sam Varma thanks!

[@middle_pickup]

I love seeing the midi IO. I wish more pedals had this. I wouldn't even mind if they had to use mini TRS like some of the newer synths and drum machines. Thank you for leading that charge on small format pedals! Also, nice Build My Life riff. Never played it like that before, but I might now for down moments!

[@a_teonnai-ki8049]

Thank you for the Tears reference. Was a pleasant surprise. Now need the pedal)

[@matthewsullivan7186]

I’m loving the worship tones at 3:33. Build my life out here😂😂

[@TeenDaad]

Nice “Build My Life” bridge melody 😊

[@spieglass3211]

First, now you have to send me one :) The attack knob is brilliant, and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a top 5 all time song for me. Excellent work, gang.

[@anthonyfesta1224]

I just bought one. I have it running to my Stereo FX loop on my Orange Rocker 32 and I have the Walrus Slo multi textured reverb in front of it. It’s really nice.

[@rolyat]

Yeah this works, yeah this works well. It gets funky enough to play with for hours but not overwhelming, i dig it!!

[@IDoStuffPHYSCHE]

at first look i thought this was going to be another every-delay-in one-pedal pedal ,like everyone else is getting around to.. but this is actually really nice sounding. the stereo width is going to be so nice when im finally able to get one for my organ setup

[@rossedwards73]

This could kick my Empress Tape Delay off my board... Sorely tempted!

[@rossedwards73]

...and ordered! Can’t wait to see how well it plays with my GigRig G3 :)

[@mathieugaron3428]

Wow. I'm speechless

[@MatthewHyatt]

Soon as I see Knobs review this, I'll buy. ;)

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

Holy cow!! Way to go on the Threads by This Will Destroy You!

[@JimCardoza]

Mako series Julia has to be in the works

[@WestonStephens]

Sounds incredible 🙌

[@walrusaudioeffects]

thank you!

[@GuitarJawn]

I can't wait to see what else comes from this new platform!!!!!!!!!!!

[@T-Hawkeyes]

Ring Mod-esque repeats on the digital mode is a major bonus. I am clearing out space for this and the reverb you will be releasing shortly hereafter.

[@wormeister]

Did you get their reverb pedal after

[@T-Hawkeyes]

@@wormeister na, the 50ms minimum was a deal-breaker for me

What is the song at 0:20

[@jasongilbow]

The knob and system helps me sleep and overcome fear so I rest as this like twins that are different

I nearly had a stroke trying to comprehend this.

[@teabelly8183]

Can I get tab for 3:08, it sounds sooooo goood

[@nogoogleplus]

Nicely done⭐️

[@ArtyShat]

Hey guys, for someone like me that loves Walrus Audio and is searching for a new delay pedal, what's the main differences from D1 and ARP?

[@ヨースケイトー]

Hello,sounds beautiful. Is this send MIDI clock with tap tempo?

[@gabrielr4329]

Very nice 👍

[@wbales2592]

Build My Life followed by Threads?! How soon does this ship??? #TakeMyMoney

[@spltrcl]

sounds great!

[@Wall_Candy]

First off thank you for playing my favorite TWDY riff while I'm wearing my shirt. Second, can this do any self oscillations?

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Yes this is rad

[@thekramer1097]

Wait... so this means that a stereo (and hopefuly midi controlable) version of the Slö is possible? A man can dream

[@GuitarWithGabe]

Impressive.

[@jonahpaz.]

1:29 which song is it? I don’t remember its name.

[@Addenbrookeg]

Jonah Paz everybody wants to rule the world

[@kckrye]

I heard "build my life" at 3:09

[@nogoogleplus]

I ordered one! My question is..... what's next in the Mako Series?! Hi Fi Stereo Mod? 🤞

[@hopefulutopian7773]

Hell yeah.

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

Well that was nice! I'll just go back to my Danelectro's..... *sobs quietly*

[@smuthered]

Wait wait. Mako SERIES?! When will there be more???? Take my money already

[@itsmeshady1770]

I love the Arp87, and this looks like the perfect follow up. Retains the size; but expands on what left me wanting from the ARP, most notably reverse, stacked, and stereo outs.... however, while minor, the tragically bland design is pretty disappointing- especially coming off all the previous generation of Walrus pedals artwork being the coolest on the market.

[@ryanpaulretouch]

I'm a massive fan of the design!

[@sassycat]

Run Like Hell! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍

[@jordanols]

Anyone know what pickups are in that tele? It sounds so great!!!

[@yansuemtz4817]

Que es? Suena super bien.

[@dropkickpherby6994]

Hey fello groovers! Those of you that have the Iron Horse v2, what settings do you use for what sounds? I'm in an experimenting mood lately.

[@dogwater9535]

nice one

[@mishadoumnov]

one more question - is there a momentary function on this unit? I own a Fathom and the momentary feature is great

[@ShoesNeverWorn]

What's the difference between the tone knob's "low frequency filter" and the age knob's "high-frequency rolloff"…? Those sound like essentially the same thing to me…

[@walrusaudioeffects]

They do similar things but the age knob adds in gentle clipping for adding warm "grit" to the effect that you can't get with the tone knob. The Tone knob has a larger range and allows you to make larger tonal changes.

[@ethantantuco]

What’s the outro song again?

[@charlyhernandez355]

Nice... But where is the Tape delay?

[@perudolux]

Really considering this! Ps: is this a nachocaster you are playing?

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Are you guys going to do firmware updates? Through midi I guess since there's no USB

[@hectorgoav9055]

Anyone know how I can play the part at 7:09 ? Or what I can search?

[@xnobynob]

Hi, it is Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell (from The Wall album)

[@syntheffects]

Would be interesting on a synth.

[@MrCodman500]

what guitar is that! I have been looking for something like that!

[@odallard]

It’s not a collab with Chase Bliss? Could’ve fooled me.

[@suburbanflower]

Is there seamless switching between presets? Or do the trails cut off?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Yes! There is preset spillover going from one to the next. If you scroll through two presets, it will cut off the trails.

[@FamilyTreeRG]

Saving up money to get me one

[@migzo2272]

Is this an "ideal" delay pedal for an amateur musician? I mean I play gigs, but I only use mono all the time

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Sure! The pedal still sounds great in Mono. You could also check out our ARP-87 delay for a cheaper option without stereo, presets and MIDI.

[@carlostorres1171]

Weirdly, the Dual mode on mine neither pings nor pongs

[@Erickchicas]

Somebody likes Chase Bliss Audio boxes lol.

[@J_IanCastle]

Could I plug in some sort of external switching pedal to be able to switch up and down between presets instead of only having the ability to cycle through one way?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

yes via midi!

[@douglasdiggins8296]

Really didn't blow me away for the price point.

[@yurakolesnikov9725]

Nice pedal! Do you have an editor for creating all 128 presets?

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

I'd like to know how many presets can we access using only the pedal? A,B & C?

[@Northknives]

@@musicproductionvideos5019 9 if it's the same as the R1

[@ryanpaulretouch]

Awesome! Does this convert the dry signal to digital at any point?

[@andtrea.]

Please add the Bitcrush mod to the Slo!

[@mishadoumnov]

Sounds amazing. What's the maximum delay time that can be tapped in (slowest tap) thanks !!

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Should be 2 seconds!

[@mishadoumnov]

@@walrusaudioeffects 2 seconds max is a slow enough quarter note :) Well, Walrus know how to do slow and ambient (I own a Fathom so I know first hand) Cheers !! :)

[@efrita19]

Hi, i have D1 and using for around 6 months along with a R1. and lately i was noticing that no mater what i was always having a little gain when all pedals were off .. and was the D1 which even if not pressed is providing a gain, had wrote the service of Walrus and still awaiting for a feedback. but wanted to know if some other users of this pedal experience the same? i use walrus for other pedal effects and previously all was satifactory

[@walrusaudioeffects]

email [e-mail] and we'd be happy to look into it!

[@2cv]

what's the maximum delay time of this bliss machine?

Christian Vogt two seconds

[@yannheidebiedzinski4315]

I don't get it. How do you, for example, set the Vintage program on mod:9, tone:11 and age:12?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Put the toggle switch in the Mod position, dial it in with the tweak knob then put the toggle in the tone position and repeat. It will remember where you had the knob in each position.

[@yannheidebiedzinski4315]

@@walrusaudioeffects Thank you, sorry for the lack of communication.

[@organjoe]

How do you switch between presets without midi?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

You can cycle through them by pressing bypass and tap at the same time!

[@organjoe]

@@walrusaudioeffects thanks!

[@mrbaiser4133]

NOBODY builds a small delay pedal with the option to switch between two subdivision settings on the fly. Via footswitch, internal or external. My idea is a "Baby U2" pedal, which allows me to use eights for the riff or the choruses and dotted eights for the verses, or whatever. With Modulation with speed and depth knobs, EQ to darken the repeats, a mix knob that goes from 100% dry to 100% wet, AND A FOOTSWITCH TO SWITCH BETWEEN EIGHTS AND DOTTED EIGHTS, with a bicolor LED. (Other subdivisions could be chosen via internal dip switches). And bypass and tap tempo should be integrated into ONE footswitch, like Lin6 did it in the old Tonecore series. That's still the best tap tempo implementation, as it can be used a) within a song to correct the tempo, often two taps are enough and b) to tap the tempo of the next song and turn on the delay with the next beat. The drummer counts 1-2-3-4, or hits the sticks, I set the tempo by tapping four times and on the next "1" I start the song with delay. Very easy with the Line6 Echo Park, impossible with most other small delays on the market.

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Ingo Bacio you can easily do that with midi or make two identical presets on the pedal but only change the subdivision.

[@jamesf2918]

Smart

[@wheresallthezombies]

Dude nice throwing in this will destroy you

[@ManiacalSurgeon]

Yes, it's top notch! Nobody does that!

[@Htheorphanarian]

can someone please tell me what those boxes are above the vox amp? I see pros have them everywhere and still have no idea what they are?? are they attenuators? why are there 2 boxes?? please help!!

[@walrusaudioeffects]

It’s the universal audio Ox. You can use them as an attenuator but they allow a way to track your amp with speaker cab emulators (Impulse Responses, or IRs). You can change speakers, mic placement, add room reverb etc while still using your own amp.

[@Htheorphanarian]

@@walrusaudioeffects thank you soooooo much!!

[@sixstringsofsam]

Does the delay trail when changing presets?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

There is no spillover when changing presets. Maybe in a future update.

[@MuhammadIbrahim-ck8uk]

does it have tap tempo)

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Yes. And for your convenience it's located on the stomp switch on the bottom right labeled, "tap." 😉

[@calebmills2345]

Can you access the presets without using MIDI?

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Yes, you can store up to 9 presets without MIDI

[@plexibreath]

Is "Dual" mode, the only one doing anything in stereo?

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Yeah I paid $300 for this pedal and noticed only one delay is actually in stereo so I just keep using my El capistan... Going to have to dig into this thing and see what it can do

[@plexibreath]

I got it, it's pretty amazing. Yes only the Dual mode is stereo and it's the main one use. The "attack" feature is what makes this a game changer.

[@onurpuza1049]

@walrusaudioeffects , I hope you would release a new firmware with a proper real reverse delay algorithm, I think it's the biggest downside of it, otherwise very useful and sounds great overall.

[@onurpuza1049]

@walrusaudioeffects i’ve just seen your announcement of the new version of the pedal and unfortunately figured out that there isnt any internal usb port in my pedal, now i want to update my pedal an i cant because it hasnt got an usb port and i cant sell it because no would interest with this version when there is updated one, are you going to accept replacement from your customers ?

The only thing that would make this better is if it came with a cookie.

[@thesethneal]

[@calebpaulsanchez]

If it had BPM I’d sell my DD500 right now.

[@walrusaudioeffects]

Caleb Paul Sanchez can always do that via midi

[@mindbodylightsound10]

It's cool but I don't see it competing at that price point considering the DD-200 sells for less and has more modes.. No shade just sayin'.

[@lucianmezinoi8536]

mindbodylightsound10 how much is this one ?

[@nathaniellarson8]

Meh, plenty of people won't touch Boss with a ten foot pole, except for discontinued or Waza classics. More is not always "better" anyways.

[@paulitofm6420]

Did anyone else buy one of these and find the build quality was absolute garbage? On the one I bought the internals don't line up properly so you cannot use the midi input/outputs and the power input needs to be forced to go in the socket (because it's not lined up properly), one of the 1/4 inputs was completely loose and the housing screws are tapped on angles so the screws are not flush on the bottom. I emailed them to advise but, have had no response. This was on the 25th of April and it's now June 11 so may be behind with everything that is going on.... The quality didn't surprise me after the Phoenix I bought ages back had a loose nut bouncing around inside it..... Live and learn though as instead of getting a Walrus Slo when updating reverbs, I bought a Matthews Effects Astronomer. Much better quality 👍. Update on this situation - Walrus have shipped out a replacement pedal and were very helpful after making the above contact. I haven’t been able to make it home to check the new pedal works due to local travel restrictions because of the Covid situation here but, I’m sure it’s all sorted now. Cheers!
