Coming from a family of musical multi-hyphenates, Yvette Young was primed for the arts from an early age, following in her parents’ creative tradition and picking up both the piano and the violin by the age of seven. These experiences would lay the foundation for her unorthodox approach to the guitar, engaging with multitudes of tunings and atypical chord shapes to craft a style entirely her own. As both a solo artist and lead to the math-rock outfit Covet, Yvette Young has 15 official releases under her belt that demonstrate the virtuosic chops and innovative playing that led to her well-earned signature Ibanez guitar. Between her multidisciplinary background and the innate curiosity that fuels her off-tour time teaching art and music, Yvette was the perfect choice to test out the latest captivating pedal from Walrus Audio: the Meraki analog stereo delay. Its full-spectrum, space-bending sonics stand to send your sound to multidimensional summits of tone crafting, and Yvette was kind enough to drop by Sweetwater to join Walrus Audio president and founder Colt Westbrook to take the Meraki’s menageries of musical mayhem for a spin.

I’d love to see Kaki King here. Wow that would be amazing. Also, William Tyler.

[@rafaelsantiago1170]

Let’s be real guys. The pedal is great and all, but Yvette can literally make any delay/reverb pedal sound incredible!!

[@brianwaitzman]

Yvette is an inspiring guitarist..... that piece she played at the end is truly lovely 🎶

[@ronaldcoleman9370]

Absolutely love the sounds the pedal can make and it was very nice listening to her play!!! Thank guys!!!

[@IDriveAnAudi]

I have one coming tomorrow and made another impulse buy last night for a sloer from the Walrus online store. My dogs are going to love hearing me noodle away for hours all weekend. This thing sounds gorgeous!

[@lunarfifthstudios]

Sounds wonderful. Humbly requesting full composition, "Off the dome" 🙏

[@andrewsun4385]

Awesome!!!❤❤💯💯

[@regmonmusic]

Wow, nice!

[@MrFuzzleupagus]

Not sure I want to spend $600 for a delay no matter how great it is. Walrus Audio and Sweetwater picked the perfect musician to demo this, though. She’s crazy talented!

[@scotttarulli]

Does this only run in stereo? Or, can you run it in mono as if there is one analog delay running into another?

[@sweetwater]

Hi scotttarulli, great question! In parallel mode, the two channels do operate this way, however, the delay already has a series operation switch on it! So you could just plug into the mono input, switch it to series, and have what you want with fewer cables! If you want to chat pedals, just give me a ring!

Meraki is pronounced me-raa-kee btw.. It's greek, means "to do something with passion"

[@BobSince1981]

Cisco Meraki anyone? 🤓

[@jhs564]

I'd probably buy this.. if it was half the price, you Walrus Dangleberries

[@walrusaudioeffects]

We'd half the cost if the parts to make an all-analog delay with 8 bucket brigade chips were half the cost to make too. Until then we'll just have to be dangleberries. 🙂
