The Walrus Audio Slö Multi Texture Reverb is a versatile effects pedal designed for creating ambient and textured reverb sounds. It features three different reverb modes: Dark (with a lower octave), Rise (ambient swell), and Dream (latching pad with vibrato). Users can further shape their sound with three wave shapes and controls for decay, filter, mix, and modulation. With the option for trails mode, the Slö delivers a range of long, modulated reverb effects suitable for ambient, shoegaze, and post-rock styles, offering sounds reminiscent of other reverb pedals.
Guitarists praised the Walrus Audio Slö for its ability to produce a wide range of ambient sounds, from subtle reverbs to expansive soundscapes. Reviewers highlighted the pedal's creative reverb algorithms, particularly the "Dream" mode for creating pads and "Rise" mode for swells, with the "Sustain" function earning praise for its ability to create infinite trails and soundscapes. Some users noted a preference for other reverb pedals in terms of basic reverb sounds, but many found the Slö to be inspiring for experimental sound design. Overall, the build quality, aesthetic, and unique soundscapes made it a favorite for ambient and post-rock musicians.
