Walrus AudioR1 MKII MAKO Series High-Fidelity Reverb Pedal

Walrus Audio R1 MKII

Create warm room resonance and ethereal ambience with the Mako R1 High-Fidelity Stereo Reverb MKII from Walrus Audio, a feature-rich multi-algorithm reverb pedal built to inspire your playing no matter the genre. In this MKII version of Walrus's highly flexible reverb effect, all algorithms have been refreshed and revitalized to provide beautiful, brilliant reverb tones rivaling classic studio effect units. The new Mako series features a crystal clear OLED screen, making it easier than ever to dial in your tone with helpful visual feedback.

The R1 MKII features a vast array of reverb tones to give you the perfect sound for any project. Six programs include classics like spring, hall, and plate to dial in familiar and nostalgic tones. In addition to these straightforward models, more experimental algorithms like BFR, Refract, and Air provide huge arena reflections, glitchy granular textures, and shimmer reverb, respectively. Each of these algorithms can be completely customized to suit your needs, with the left encoder giving you access to modulation rate, algorithm-specific settings, and more. You can also dial in a new ducking and swelling feature, which affects reverb amount and behavior as you play to create responsive gestures and lively textures. Giving you easy access to the most crucial parameters, each algorithm also features dedicated controls for decay amount, pre delay, and mix.

With so many great reverb sounds to explore, the Mako MKII makes it easy to recall your favorite sounds with up to 128 onboard presets. You can switch between presets easily on stage or in the studio using the foot switches, or use the R1's comprehensive MIDI implementation to switch sounds with program change messages. Whatever your use case, the Mako R1 High-Fidelity Reverb MKII from Walrus Audio is a reverb effect that offers powerful and flexible tonal options in a compact package, making it a great choice for both beginning players and gigging professionals alike.
