The Walrus Audio 385 is an overdrive pedal which delivers a responsive, tube like and amp-like overdriven effect that will add grit, bite and punch to any performance. This compact sound unit is based on the sounds of Tube powered audio sections of the vintage Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound projector when used as a guitar amp.
Its basic four-knob layout includes options for Volume, Gain, Bass and Treble and allows you to boost and cut the Bass/Treble at the simple turn of a dial. Running on 18 Volts, this high-quality effects pedal is highly sensitive, and will respond promptly to the dynamics of your playing. Suitable for a wide range of styles, its rugged design is built for life on the road and is ideal for regularly gigging musicians who require that extra little bit of kick.
