Walrus Audio Fundamental Series Lo-Fi Delay
Walrus Audio Fundamental Series Lo-Fi Delay
The Walrus Audio Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay strips delay tone down to three sliders and a three-way switch without losing an ounce of the tonal depth a working musician needs — part of Walrus Audio's Fundamental Series, designed and assembled at company headquarters in Oklahoma City for players who want pro-level sound without a menu to dig through. Behind that simple front panel is a genuinely wide range: shimmering, wow-and-flutter-soaked chimes, dark and slowly swelling clouds of repeats, or rhythmic, multi-tap echoes with all the character of aging analog tape.
Time, Feedback, and Mix handle the shaping — Time sets the space between repeats (up to a full second), Feedback runs from a single echo to trails that spiral toward infinite repeats, and Mix blends the wet delay against your dry signal. The three-way slide switch swaps between three distinct algorithms: AM runs echoes through a bright high-pass filter with light harmonic distortion and dual wow-and-flutter modulation, letting repeats fade like a drifting AM radio signal — great for dreamy leads and washy chords; Murk rolls off the top end and layers in heavy, playing-dynamic low-frequency modulation so repeats compress and swell into a dense, brooding cloud, ideal for shadowy movement under riffs; and ECHO delivers a rhythmic, multi-tap delay with analog-style tone shaping, gathering into dense lo-fi ambience at short times or spreading into hypnotic, syncopated patterns at longer ones, with a secondary control for locking the taps to quarter note, dotted eighth, or eighth note divisions.
Hold the bypass switch to enter tap tempo and dial in Time by feel — the pedal remembers the tapped tempo until you touch the slider or tap again — and trails mode, active out of the box, lets repeats ring out naturally after bypass instead of cutting off cold. Whether you're chasing subtle ambient movement, warped lo-fi character, or rhythmic patterns to build a whole part around, this pedal scales from bedroom sessions to the big stage. It's housed in a black enclosure with green and off-white ink (H: 2.23" x W: 2.42" x D: 4.57"), runs buffered bypass, and takes 9V DC center-negative power at 100mA minimum (isolated supply recommended; power supply not included). This Walrus Audio Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay is backed by Walrus Audio's limited lifetime warranty. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Walrus Audio dealer.
