The Walrus Audio 385 MKII is a versatile overdrive pedal inspired by the Bell & Howell Filmosound 385 projector. It delivers tube-like drive and is responsive to playing dynamics. Features include an A/B switch for two distinct overdrive sounds, as well as a 385+ switch for high-gain saturation, creating a thick, chewy distortion with clarity. It can be used as a clean boost and overdrive/distortion, and is especially effective when stacked with other pedals like a fuzz pedal.
Inspired by the rich tones of the Bell and Howell Filmosound 385 projector, the reimagined 385 MKII Overdrive offers dynamic, responsive, tube-like drive with simple but effective controls. The MKII adds an A/B switch to toggle between two sets of volume and gain knobs as well as a 385+ switch that slams the front end of the circuit for added high-gain saturation.
