Walrus Audio Eras Five-State Distortion Pedal

The Walrus Eras Five-State Distortion Pedal does for distortion pedals what the Ages and Eons did for Overdrive and Fuzz: Five flavors of fun to fine tune your tone for any situation. In the case of the Eras it's five different types of clipping modes and EQ tweaks to provide useful variations for all your rock moods and broods. Don't get too hung up on the "why" of each mode; just enjoy the variety and find the sound that works for you and the song. To give you even more control, the Eras includes both treble and bass controls, and a blend knob to mix in unaffected dry signal with the distortion tone. A little bit a clean signal blended into a high gain tone does wonders for improving articulation, note definition and the ability to cut through the mix. Once you try it, you'll wonder why every distortion pedal does not have it.

In the words of Walrus Audio....

Eras is a no apologies, high-gain distortion that’s ready to chug, shred, and palm mute with tight response and multiple clipping options. Use the Blend knob at max for a full distortion onslaught or roll back the Blend knob to creatively stack and mix other dirt pedals placed in front of Eras. Great for bassists that want to blend in their dry signal as well. Anywhere you set it, the Eras is ready to deliver a diverse world of speaker ripping sounds.
The Eras features a five-position rotary knob that offers the following gain states:
I.  Tight mode with a slight mid-cut, LED hard clipping, and internal volume control. Fastest response, great for palm muting. 
II. Tight mode with a slight mid-cut and silicon hard clipping. Smooth with added compression.
III. Dual clipping mode with a slight mid-cut and both silicon and LED hard clipping. Rich & full with added sustain.
IV. Rhythm mode with a deeper mid-cut, LED hard clipping, and internal volume control. Scooped mids, tight response.
V. Rhythm mode with a deeper mid-cut and silicon hard clipping. Rhythmic, warm and full. 
Think of each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal. Blend in dry signal or other pedals in combination with the gain states for a near-infinite amount of distortion sounds.
