Walrus Audio ERAS 5-State Distortion Pedal

Versatile Distortion pedal for electric guitar

With the Walrus Audio ERAS, the creative effects forge from Oklahoma City sends a particularly versatile Five State Distortion into the race, which leaves no sound wish unfulfilled. The analog circuitry of the ERAS offers five sound modes with LED or silicone clipping as a basis for characterful guitar sounds, while an active 2-band EQ allows precise adjustment of the tone. In addition, Walrus Audio's distortion pedal features a blend control that allows you to mix in the clean guitar signal to add definition and punch to your tone.

Analog circuitry with five sound modes

At the heart of the fully analog ERAS circuitry are five sound modes that define the basic tonal character of the effects pedal, interacting with the gain and volume controls:

• I Tight Mode with LED Hard-Clipping: with a slight mid-cut and excellent response, this mode is predestined for fast-playing palm mutes and riffs.
• II Tight Mode with Silicon Hard-Clipping: Silicon diodes and the reduced midrange spectrum of the second sound mode ensures for a rich sound with pleasant compression.
• III Dual Clipping Mode: The combination of LED and silicon clipping results in a rich tone with subtle mid-scoop and long sustain.
• IV Rhythm Mode with LED Hard Clipping: The tight sound with reduced mids provides the ideal foundation for driving riffs, even with lower tuned guitars.
• V Rhythm Mode with Silicon Hard-Clipping: This mode promises a warm sound with a deep mid-cut.

Precise options for adjusting the sound

For precise tone adjustment, the Walrus Audio ERAS Five-State Distortion features an active 2-band equalizer that precisely boosts or cuts bass and treble. The blend control of the ERAS mixes the clean and distorted signal continuously, whereby only the clean tone is present when the control is turned to the left, while only the distorted tone is heard when the control is turned to the right.
