385 Overdrive
Walrus Audio's 385 Overdrive is a sonic time machine, transporting your guitar tone back to the golden age of vintage film projectors. Inspired by the iconic Bell & Howell 385 Filmosound, this pedal captures the warm, dynamic, and responsive character of that legendary audio circuit, delivering a true tube-like overdrive experience in a compact stompbox. At the heart of the 385 is a carefully engineered 18V internal architecture, which provides the pedal with an amp-like feel and responsiveness. As you dig into your strings, the 385 reacts with a natural, organic compression, just like a cranked vintage amplifier. The single tone control, modeled after the original projector, offers a wide range of tonal sculpting, allowing you to boost or cut bass and treble frequencies to taste. What sets the 385 apart is its uncanny ability to deliver rich, harmonically-complex overdrive that remains musical and articulate, even when pushed to the limit. The dual 6V6-inspired output section ensures that every note retains its clarity and definition, making the 385 an ideal choice for everything from classic rock riffs to searing lead tones. Whether you're chasing the gritty snarl of a '60s tube amp or the smooth, singing sustain of a vintage film projector, the Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive is a must-have for any guitarist seeking a truly inspiring and dynamic overdrive experience.
