Walrus Audio Red High-Gain Distortion Pedal

Walrus Audio are a fairly new brand in the pedal-building scene. However, in their short history they have delivered incredible-sounding and innovative pedal designs, with inspiring and artistic graphics that spice up the look of pedalboards around the world.

The Red High-Gain Distortion is a fire-breathing machine, with a versatile set of controls and enough gain to satisfy the most extreme of metalheads!

Dial It In:

The Red High-Gain Distortion pedal can cover a huge range of metal tones thanks to its wide spectrum of gain. The 3 EQ knobs (Bass, Middle and Treble) can let you dial in the best sound for whatever style of metal you play - from 80’s hair tones to Swedish death carnage!

Turning up the bass will add more low-end thump to your sound, letting you get that 4x12 cabinet response. The treble will add some crisp definition and bite, ensuring that you will be heard in even the most chaotic of mixes.

You can switch between two clipping diodes with the “Texture” mini-toggle, giving you more control over the type of distortion sound you prefer. Flick it to the down position and you get the highest amount of compression, meaning you can achieve those super-tight rhythm tones or get great lead sounds with amazing sustain and clarity. The up position has a more open and natural sound, similar to a really pushed overdrive.

Here’s what Walrus Audio say about the Red High-Gain Distortion Pedal:

The Walrus Audio Red is a mean, heavy, have no mercy distortion pedal. Inspired by the brutal, heavy tones found in classic metal and 90's shoegaze bands, Walrus Audio has designed a new high gain distortion that is capable of achieving aggressive, pounding, thick tone that will appeal to everyone from skate punks, to heavy hearted chord spillers, to the Swedish Death Metal players. The RED is a versatile distortion that is sure to become the new high gain staple on players’ boards everywhere.

The Texture switch provides two different configurations of clipping diodes. The down position selects the highest level of compression and clipping available. Use this mode for smooth singing leads and heavily compressed rhythm work. The up position selects the lowest level of compression and clipping available. Use this mode for a more course tone that is more overdrive-like in nature.
