Walrus Audio Fundamental Series: Distortion Pedal

While multi-effects units continue to grow in popularity and capabilities, at the shop we are all still dedicated "pedalboard guys." The range of choices and options in individual effects is simply too attractive to pass up. As well as the ability change your mind, or assemble multiple boards for special purposes. 

But assembling a pedalboard can be choice overload, and can also get pretty expensive. The Walrus Audio Fundamental Series of effects are a great starting point (or destination) for putting together a reliable, high-quality effects setup. Then Fundamental Series covers all the "core" effects that anybody could want, and all are priced at just $99. Great for starting a new board, or where you need "that sound" for certain songs but don't want to spend big bucks. All Fundamental pedals run on 9VDC tip-negative power, and are designed and assembled by Walrus Audio in Oklahoma.

In the words of Walrus Audio on their Fundamental Distortion Pedal:

The Fundamental Distortion is a three-mode distortion. It covers a wide range of sounds from dark and doom through sharp cutting leads.

Gain – The Gain slider sets the amount of gain applied to your guitar signal passing through the distortion circuit.

Tone – The Tone slider controls the signal's frequency response after distortion. Left of center cuts highs and right of center boosts highs.

Volume – The Volume slider sets the overall output volume of the pedal.

Slide Switch – The slide switch allows you to change between three distinct flavors of the pedal. Each position has different clipping modes or tone profiles.

Dark - Asymmetric silicon clipping with an added high-frequency cut. Think dark and dynamic.
Si - Classic silicon hard clipping diodes. Things get compressed and crunchy.
LED - LED hard clipping diodes. A dynamic and crunchy sound. 
Note: The LED clipping mode will be louder due to the nature of the LEDs, so use your volume slider to compensate!
