Pedalboards are always a work in progress, no matter what you tell yourself about your last purchase. Whether your latest addition was a practical utility or a bank-breaking multi-effect, you’re reading these words because part of you is wondering what’s next for your rig, right?
Well, Sweetwater may have made things easy for you this Black Friday, too, with some unmissable discounts on Walrus Audio pedals that would make waves on any ‘board.
In this mega Black Friday guitar deal, Sweetwater has knocked $175 off the list price of two powerful pedals from Walrus Audio’s high-fidelity Mako Series. This is, make no bones about it, a huge discount on professional-grade devices – knocking 50% off their usual price of $349.99. Even if you’re lucky enough to feel your rig’s complete, this kind of deal is enough to give you pause for thought.
All of Walrus Audio’s pedal designs are studio-grade boutique affairs. Their OG range includes amongst its ranks the definitive modern modulation pedal, the Julia chorus/vibrato; even their recent foray into affordable entry-level effects with the Fundamental series saw them bring boutique-quality algorithms to the entry level. The Mako Series, though, is a cut above. Taking after the high build quality and endless tweakability of upper-echelon boutique brands like Chase Bliss, the Mako Series leans away from the esoterica of its brand-mates, towards pro-level practicality and versatility.
The pair of pedals on offer here are Mk1 editions of the R1 Reverb and D1 Delay respectively. Each sits within the same pedal template – offering multiple effects programs, stereo ins and outs, MIDI in and thru-put, and a 3x3 parameter control surface that offers deep control over your sound.
