  • This is the M1 Pedal by Walrus Audio, it lives in their MAKO series which means nothing more than a "Sharc" processor which is fast like a Mako Shark. I guess it does add incredible computing power within a small package allowing for really good quality DSP effects, but that's a topic for another time! Today, I wanted to explore the sounds for the first time with you! I haven't powered this pedal on and applied it to anything just yet. So let's dive in.

    The envelope is a LOFI setting. So you set your tone and then when you turn up LOFI it will engage the envelope. That is why you were not hearing much of a change,

    • @lukeomalley

      also the Noise parameter is really great in the Vibe settings (type 2 and 3 are TAPE and VINYL or vice versa). The noise is then accurate to the vinyl or tape

      @RickyTinez  Před rokem +2

      What's up Deaftra! Thanks for watching.
      At that point it might be personal preference. Some cases might be; Helps keep CPU usage low. You're performing without a computer. You want to tie a synth with an FX to commit to a sound. Your mouse only allows tweaking of 1 knob at a time vs hardware which is as many knobs as you can touch.
      Some of those reasons are a bit of a stretch but i've come across all of them while making music.

    I work at Guitar Center in Danbury, CT, and we got one of these in used at one time. I was thoroughly unimpressed with it. This video definitely confirms my suspicious that it may have been defective, as every mode sounded like a static chorus pedal. It came off as weak, and not nearly as beautiful as the sounds here.

      @moyano6197 Před rokem +3

      don’t think so, the Reverb of the Mako series is “R1”, the Delay is “D1” and the Amp & cab sim is “ACS1”, so I think it stands for “Modulation 1”
