The Walrus Audio Eras is a high-gain distortion pedal designed for heavy genres, offering five distinct distortion modes for versatile tonal options. It provides a tight response for palm muting, rich overtones, and warm tones. This pedal excels as a primary distortion source and works well with other drive pedals, making it a versatile choice for rock musicians seeking aggressive and thick tones reminiscent of early 90s heavy metal and shoegaze. The Texture switch offers different clipping diode configurations for smooth leads or a more overdrive-like character.
