385 Overdrive MKII
The Walrus Audio 385 MKII Overdrive is a captivating tribute to the rich, tube-like tones of vintage film projectors. Inspired by the iconic Bell and Howell Filmosound 385, this reimagined pedal delivers a dynamic, responsive drive that can seamlessly transition from lush, amp-like overdrive to searing high-gain distortion. At the heart of the 385 MKII lies a meticulously crafted circuit, running at an internal 18V to capture the same organic feel and sensitivity as its analog inspiration. The dual-channel design allows players to toggle between two distinct sets of volume and gain controls, effectively creating two presets for effortless tone shaping. But the real magic happens with the dedicated bass and treble knobs. Unlike traditional single-knob tone controls, the 385 MKII gives you precise command over the low and high frequencies, unlocking a vast array of tonal possibilities. Scoop out mids for a tight, focused lead tone, or fatten up the bottom end for a thunderous rhythm sound – the choice is yours. The addition of the "385+" switch further enhances the pedal's versatility, slamming the front end of the circuit for even more aggressive, saturated overdrive. Whether you're seeking the dynamic feel of a vintage tube amp or the searing distortion of a modern high-gain monster, the 385 MKII has you covered. Embraced by discerning guitarists for its exceptional responsiveness and amp-like character, the Walrus Audio 385 MKII Overdrive is a must-have for any player seeking a truly inspiring and versatile drive pedal.
