Built from the ground up, Walrus Audio has developed a new 2-in-1 boost to help make leads stand out, slides sing, finger picking come to life and to push tube amps into great natural breakup. Like the veins its named after, the Emissary Parallel Boost features two independent boost circuits running in parallel to work together to help give your tone a real “sinus clearing experience”. Use one or the other by itself, or mix any combination of both by turning up each knob to the desired level.
The top knob controls the volume for the “bright” boost circuit. This is a clean, high headroom JFET boost, with a slight emphasis on higher frequencies to liven up your tone. The bottom knob controls the volume for the “mid” boost circuit. This circuit features a targeted boost at either 1kHz or 800Hz selected by the toggle switch.
- Boost pedal with two independent circuits wired in parallel
- Make lead-sounds, slides or finger-picking stand out
- Push tube amps into natural breakup
- Specific voicing per circuit (“bright” / “mid”)
- Use one or the other boost-circuit by itself or dial-in any combination of the two
- Mix “Bright” and “Mid” to tailor the boost-sound to your playing-style and instrument
- “Bright” circuit: Clean, high-headroom JFET boost with emphasis on upper frequency-spectrum
- “Bright” boost e.g. breathes life into neck-pickups and helps bridge-pickups standout
- “Mid” circuit: targeted boost at either 1kHz or 800Hz
- “Mid” boost e.g. pushes leads forward in a mix or makes slide-guitars stand-out
- Toggle selects target-frequency for “Mid”: 1kHz or 800Hz
- Smart “Momentary” bypass activates effect temporarily via press & hold
- “Momentary” adds boost to specific phrase or even single notes
- True-Bypass Design
- Usage of isolated power supply is recommended
- No battery-option
- 9V DC; 100mA
- L x W x H (cm): 12.1 x 6.6 x 4.1
- Weight (kg): 0.32
- Handmade in the USA
