Walrus Audio Melee - Onyx Limited Edition - High-Gain Distortion and Reverb combo
A dark roast, Black Friday limited range of products:
Onyx Coffee Labs is known for its innovative approach to coffee - experimenting with brew methods, sourcing high-quality beans, and the meticulous attention to detail in their branding and cafes. Walrus Audio is known for crafting unique effects that are as beautiful to look at as they are to play. With many avid coffee drinkers in Walrus’ team, they’ve loved Onyx's products, branding, and art for a long time. As active members of the music community (working with incredible bands on coffee collaborations and many team members who actively create music), Walrus couldn't wait to work together with Onyx Coffee to design this year's Black Friday Limited Series.
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
