Walrus Audio Melee Black - High-Gain Distortion and Reverb combo
Walrus Audio gives you the two most quintessential effects that yield unruly amounts of power and influence to an instrumentalist: reverb and distortion. They have been harnessed and woven together for an eternity of ethereal power with The Melee: Wall of Noise.
The Melee unapologetically uses a joystick to meld reverb and distortion into one massive blaze of sound. With the flip of the order switch, run the distortion into the reverb or reverb into distortion: the signal chain is your call now. For the explorer, the Melee can run one of three different reverb programs Ambient, Octave, and Reverse.
Main Features:
- Controls: Vol, Tone, Decay, D>R|R>D (determines order of effects), Joystick (distortion level + reverb mix), bypass, sustain switch
- Joystick control to meld reverb and distortion and inspire a wealth of creative output
- Joystick controls reverb mix (x-axis) and distortion level (y-axis)
- Switch signal-chain-order of distortion- and reverb-effect
- D>R (distortion into reverb) or R>D (reverb into distortion)
- D>R mode: traditional set up. Notes and chords remain their clarity
- R>D mode: notes and chords are muddied to create a wall of sound
- 3 different reverb programs: Ambient, Octave and Reverse
- Ambient Reverb: Huge reverb with massive trails
- Octave Reverb: Lower octave on reverb trail. Like “Dark” mode on Walrus Audio Slö
- Reverse Reverb with Feedback: Add reversed reverb trails or push into reverse feedback overload
- Tone 3-way-toggle-switch sets the tone of reverb and distortion: normal, dark, bright
- Decay 3-way-toggle-switch sets time of the reverb: minimum, medium, maximum
- Set modulation via secondary control (decay 3-way-switch): none, slight (33RPM), high (45RPM)
- Use momentary bypass to create a moment of texture
- Sustain switch ramps up reverb trail to maximum or latches current reverb decay
- 3 bypass modes: DSP bypass, DSP+ true bypass, true bypass
- 9-volt DC, Center Negative, 200mA minimum
- Power Supply not included
- Designed and assembled in the USA
