Walrus Audio Mako Series MKII D1 High-Fidelity Delay Pedal

The D1 MKII is a feature-packed, high-fidelity all-in-one delay pedal with six algorithms for players to choose from: Digital, Mod, Vintage, Dual, Reverse, and Grain. The D1 can create inspirational delay trails ranging from dreamlike and bizarre, to rhythmic and clear, to warm and analog sounding.

New Features:

• Six carefully crafted delay algorithms to meet the needs of any guitar player

• Complete BPM control for the user with readout on screen

• Up to 128 presets

• Redesigned Dual Mode allows you to set unique tap divisions on each channel

• All new Grain Delay Program

• Add modulation to delay trails with Six wave shapes (sine, square, triangle, ramp, reverse ramp, random)

• Navigation menu screen for easy tweaking of secondary controls and BPM, or accessing presets.

Program Controls

Each program can be fully customized to your taste and playing style with the left encoder knob, which controls six parameters on all programs of the D1: Depth, Rate, Shape, Age, Tone, and Spread.

The Right encoder knob adjusts BPM, Swell, and Tap Division. BPM can also be set via the tap tempo switch or MIDI. Some programs will have additional options. See the manual for details. 

Programs

Digital - The Digital delay program offers a clean and crystal-clear delay that is perfect for rhythmic guitar parts where ultra-defined echoes are desired.

Mod - The Mod delay program has unique modulation LFOs applied to random repeats and run at multiple rates to create unpredictable pitch modulation. This results in unique sounding repeats perfect for warping minds and scattering trains of thought.

Vintage – The Vintage program allows for analog tape delay-inspired tones to be achieved with complex filtering applied to the repeats. Use the tone knob at low settings for darker filtering and at higher settings to roll off the low end.

Dual - The Dual program employs two delays, one in each channel and both with different repeat subdivisions. The user has complete control over these subdivisions for both the L and the R channel, and can also choose to run their channel feedback in parallel, ping pong, or series. This effect can leave some jaw dropping trails, especially in stereo.

Reverse - The Reverse program reads the delay memory backward creating a unique delay repeat character known as a reverse delay. Select whether your repeats stay always reversed, or follow an analog reverse feedback system where the repeats flip flop.

Grain - The Grain program can be as smooth, choppy, glitchy, or flowy as you want it to be, and for users who may want to try their hand at experimenting a little, this will be the perfect program for them to explore. The grain trails can be adjusted to short staccato sounding glitches, or opened up for full immersion. It’s a whole new world, but the player is still firmly in control.

Presets

The D1 can save up to 128 onboard presets, which can be held in a preset bank made accessible by tapping down on the bottom left and bottom middle knobs simultaneously. Presets 0-9 are divided into Banks A, B, and C. Select a bank while in the preset menu. Bank A will cycle through presets 0-2, Bank B will cycle through presets 3-5, and Bank C will cycle through presets 6-9. Presets 10-128 can be accessed through manual selection or MIDI.
