The Walrus Audio Fathom is a versatile digital reverb pedal offering four distinct programs: Hall, Plate, Lo-Fi, and Sonar, each with unique controls for shaping your sound. Features include a sustain switch for holding the reverb tail, a modulation switch for adding movement, and adjustable decay and damping. The pedal's compact design, made in the USA, includes a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 3-year warranty, making it a great choice for guitarists wanting to add a variety of reverb styles to their rig. Users can create anything from standard reverb to ambient soundscapes, using features that rival other reverb pedals like the Strymon BigSky.
Guitarists praised the Fathom for its sound quality, versatile modes, and ease of use, particularly highlighting the Sonar mode. Users found the pedal capable of producing everything from subtle reverb to ambient, expansive soundscapes. Some noted the high-quality build and attractive design. A few users mentioned a noticeable low-end cut, especially when used with acoustic guitars, and some found the footswitch action less tactile. Despite these minor drawbacks, reviewers generally agreed that the Fathom offers excellent value and performance.
