Nice in-depth demo. I also appreciate that you kept the tone clean - the next review I’ve queued up is by Pedal Partners and I know they’re going to go full-on fuzzed-out shoegaze … which is nice too, but variety is good.
I agree. I acknowledge their different concept and respect the hustle a lot, but I find everything sounds exactly the same on their videos, which feel more like video essays than straight-to-the-point reviews :(
Pedal partners are awesome
The pastel color of that Strat matches perfectly with the aged maple neck; also solid piano intro!
Plucked sounds, like an EP or finger picked guitar, seem to go very well with this pedal. Nice demo!
Excellent demo, Joe! Perfect! Congratulations!
You need to do more keys based demos. Shit was gorgeous.
Excellent demo. Seems like a compact Microcosm kind of pedal.
Loved your compositions on the piano! Soulful and mysterious.
Yeah just my thoughts - im gonna try it out on my Moog synths.....,-
That keyboard melody at 9:40 is gorgeous. You should develop that.
WA needs to make a stereo version of this pedal.
Just ordered one!
Many stereo in/out pedals allow for reprocessing. That is, plug into one channel, and take its output as a feed to the input of the other channel. In correspondence with the programmer of the Line 6 Echo Park, I learned that its "stereo" implementation took a common input, processed it and then *distributed* two different versions to the two outputs. So whatever you set channel A to would also show up a bit at the B output. If I set the pedal to reverse delay, and the mix to all-wet, there would be reverse delay repeats at *both* outputs. Now, if I feed A's output to the B input, I'm re-reversing the repeats, which makes them forward, rather than reverse. BUT, the B output will now have both the re-reversed repeats PLUS the original reversed repeats that normally show up in the "other" channel. And if that wasn't enough, keep in mind that the B output will also find its way into the A mix, and back to the B input.
The end result is this engaging combination of forwards and backwards repeats at different delay times, mixed together. Not *quite* reverse-delay-plus-reverb, but darn close and worth a try, all for the price of a patch cord.
If I plug a headphone into it will it sound stereo
Want need must. I didn’t fully get the R-1 until I started using it with external moog gear. It’s heaven.
What kind of monster plugs a right angle cable into a Strat jack
Very cool. I wonder with the guitar if it'd sound better with a compressor after the lore pedal?? Just a thought.
Sometimes, yes, if the decay is too bright. Imo, Keeley ECCOS emulates a really nice tape flange shimmer, among other things.
Holy MamaFak ! That pgm. 2 shimmer used on a Moog Grandmother .... this is sooo otherworldly .......
Let's be real, the star of this video is the red whurli ❤️❤️❤️
That is just so beautiful sounding it's really impressive.
But does it work for bass??? Kidding. A very useful composition tool for soundtracks and backing. Walrus hits it out if the park as always
It does!
Robin Guthrie and Robert Fripp were doing this in the eighties. Check them out.
Very good demonstration. I'm keen on a purchase.
I bought the R1 reverb and first plugged it in mono. I was highly disappointed... Then I switched to stereo and BOOM 💥... Life was created. Some pedals just shine in stereo. This is one of them. The R1 is great for soundscaping too.
How to you make it stereo though
@@bitcoinman9202 I have the Lore..I have a stereo reverb pedal later in my chain after it..I put it on a subtle volume and minimal decay setting so as to not take away the magic of the Lore..The Lore sounds beautiful and stereo enhanced...
Walrus is the brand you buy after having every effect type
And earthquaker
@@nickp440 The two worst brands, litrally. Crap in a box.
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h you have to be trolling lmao
@@nickp440 NOPE.
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h elaborate
Where is Andy ? :(
why do you need the canvas mono ?
Sounds great for the Wurlitzer, not nearly as impressed for guitar.
The reverb tone sounds very similar to the avalanche run. Cool pedal, but i can only see it being used for textures and such
I think that's the idea being an ambient pedal...
Therea a definitely a thing or two he did that sounded so similar to the AR demo "Knobs" did
@@patrickr6505 well, hopefully somebody saw my comment that wasnt as educated as yourself. we have all atleast once splurged on a useless (context) pedal before.
@@coreyw5981 the AR is my go to for cleans. something about the dispatch master/ avalanches reverb algorithm just tickles my brain. the core reverb tone of this pedal does the same
Beautiful...
mmm caught som Max Richter in there. Well done.
Wait I thought regen and feedback were the same, just depends on manufacturer. Wheres time or delay!
anyone know what song he's playing at 7:29? or is he just playing around?
good stuff ... dreamy
Is this pedal in mono or stereo?
Early release?!
Another fantastic hair day.
Why mono?! Why?!
Cause Walrus knows anyone dumb enought to buy their pedals, is an idiot.
No presets. Bummer. On to the next.
🤘👍🏿
it is my birthday. you can give me the one you are using for my birthday as a present yes?
Can just anybody put this in front of a fuzz already and shoegaze with it? That‘s what we want!
Check pedal partners. They always shoegaze everything. Lol
this is post rock in a box
It's mono? Why?
More expensive I guess..Put a stereo pedal after it.. problem solved
@@patrickr6505 putting a stereo pedal after the mono pedal doesn’t produce stereo separation form the mono unit. Same problem they have with their Slo pedals.
@@jasonhudson73 Yea yea we know your anti mono.. yes but it does enhance the sound most definitely..that's what I've done,I put a subtle Polymoon after it and it sounds absolutely dynamic..Thats all I care about and I'm very happy with it.. Your missing out.. just get it .. trust me..
@@patrickr6505 I’m not anti-mono, I just believe that pedals marketed for ambient players should have an option for stereo. I did try a Slo before my stereo pedals a few years ago. I might have to give that a shot again because I love the sounds from the Slo pedal.
@@jasonhudson73 Oh if you do have the Slo yea just put a stereo reverb pedal with a Subtle setting after it. Just enough to enhance the sound..As I said I'm doing that with my Polymoon after the Lore and the difference is night and day..The Lore is magical..I get lost in it .. Program 4 with mix fully wet and the time and decay maxed out and your in huge Ambient Pad territory..it really is a sound to behold.Program 2 is my other favourite followed by Program 1..I actually haven't tried Program 5 yet and I've only dabbled in Program 3 briefly.. Also it sits quite well with my Raster 2 after it with a slow modulated delay..
The pedal sounds fine, but does anyone else think shimmer effects sound so cheap?
No
I hate most shimmer though haha. Its harder to impress me with one which little have done
Cheap and overused....mainly used to cover lack of inspiration or technical ability. Just add an analogue octaver in the fx loop of an analogue delay , in fast settings with low mix and enough feedback just before self oscillation, you get the most descent shimmer effect ever..On a budget as well as you either have them in your arsenal or can buy them cheaply used
I adore my Neunaber Shimmer - even its reverb without shimmer employed. Definitely not my only reverb, but it has a very unique, thick reverb if desired.. Shimmer, for me is a nuanced touch used sparingly but can really catch ears off-guard and pull the listener into a song in a special way - imvho.

Why? Oh why? Please, it has 2 dsps, its 2022 still no flying cars make it stereo! Cmon. Not dual mono. Cant stand the cabeling. Single trs. Easy. Shogazer wants mono? Plug in mono cable. Yes, sounds nice.
another modulation effect from Walrus. surprise. haven't they covered every combination yet?
Would you rather they focus on endless drive pedals?
Don't buy it then?
Delay and reverb are usually classified as “time-based”, not “modulation”.
@@pickyyeeter right!! the last thing we need is another overdrive or… fuzz 😭
The last pedal before this they released was a distortion ?
Bit murky,not stereo,and reverse isn’t even that noticeable.
Put a stereo pedal after it.. problem sorted.
Love all these Cheepie Strymon Nightsky ripoff pedals.... no wait... I love the Strymon NIGHT SKY.
@@BobGuido SOme pieces of shit earthquakes came out with right after night sky, some DBA I cant count em all, they must've had a sale on the algo or chips used for "crappy pitch reverb" I love my night sky but not the other shit.
ambient guitar is weird, awesome and boring at the same time
Sometimes it hits all three attributes haha. when u get lucky!
I use it with a fuzz pedal. And it makes my neighbors sweat a workout while falling asleep
Truer words...
Ambient is good .. but not really give me shit that will fucking Rock
Plenty out there
Just get a 59 bassman and pick a guitar
