Walrus Audio built their
Fundamental Series pedals on a simple format: three sliders, a mode switch, and a $99.99 price tag. The latest addition, the
Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay, points that format at echoes that wobble and degrade instead of repeating cleanly.
"AM" mode is a bright delay with a high-pass filter, light harmonic distortion, and dual wow and flutter modulation, so repeats drift like a radio station going out of range. "MURK" mode rolls off the highs and piles on distortion with low-frequency modulation for dark, undulating trails. "ECHO" mode is a rhythmic multi-tap delay with analog-style tone shaping that pools into ambience at short settings and turns syncopated as you stretch Time out toward its one-second maximum. Feedback runs from a single slap to repeats that hang on almost forever, and Mix goes all the way to 100% wet. Hold the bypass switch until the LED flashes and it becomes a tap tempo footswitch, with the mode slider doubling as subdivision select for quarter, dotted eighth, or eighth notes. Trails mode is on by default, and you can switch it off at power-up if you'd rather cut your repeats dead.
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay is available now for only $99.99 or 6 interest-free payments of $16.66 a month, and we'll get it shipped fast and free to your door!
