Walrus Audio Ages Five-State Overdrive Pedal

Sometimes it's hard to decide, and if you feel that way about overdrive pedals the Ages from Walrus does not force you to choose. From mild and smooth to compressed and thick, the Ages is a smorgasbord of clipping options with a powerful tone stack and an all-important "dry" control. What is the dry control? It allows you blend in clean signal in varying proportions with your overdriven signal (or none at all). The clean signal helps to retain attack and definition that frequently gets lost when you up the gain. Sometimes it's the difference between being heard or being drowned in the mix, and once you experience it you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. While feature-packed, the Ages is approachable, intuitive to operate, and each clipping mode is a pedal all its own. The Ages allows you to pack light, but be prepared for almost anything.

In the words of Walrus Audio:

For Ages, overdrive has been the one effect vital for so many. It’s used to charge through front lines of the mix and deliver a clear message that won’t soon be forgotten to its loyal listeners. Ages is a massively versatile overdrive machine standing at the ready for any amp and pickup combination that is thrown at it. An overdrive with innovative features that can stand on its own and stack well with other drives, Ages is ready to stand its ground and convey an unforgettable sound.

The five-position rotary knob offers the following gain states:

I.    Low-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Compressed and smooth.
II.   Low-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Pushed, open, and sparkly. 
III.  High-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Increased saturation and tight.
IV.  High-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Saturated, punchy and big.
V.   High-gain mode with symmetric silicon hard clipping. Heavy compression, thick and chewy.

Think of each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal. Fine-tune each of these gain states with the dry knob for a near infinite supply of gain options.
