Here’s what Walrus Audio say about the Voyager MKII:

The Voyager MKII is a mid-focused overdrive/preamp that contains all the mythical magic from the original Voyager and adds a wealth of features not seen before in a Klon-style pedal.

From its lowest to highest settings, the Voyager provides a uniquely superb amount of clarity to any playing style. At lower gain settings, it brightens the signal and adds clarity to each note. With the gain turned up, the Voyager transforms into a thick overdrive, providing depth to chorded playing while retaining the clarity needed to break through solos.

The Voyager MKII breaks out of the traditional Centaur three-knob topography by adding a foot-switchable parametric mid-frequency EQ with a boost/cut range of +/-12dB. The Freq (Frequency) knob then controls the center frequency of where the Mid knob is set, giving a range of 250Hz-2kHz. Great for accommodating any guitar and pickup combination and tailoring your tone to your own style of playing.

Further customize the Voyager’s sound with the five-way rotary switch:

  1. Classic 1N34A Germanium Diodes (most compressed). This is the original Voyager sound.
  2. Classic 1N34A Germanium Diodes with bass boost (trust us).
  3. Symmetric Silicon Diodes (more open and dynamic).
  4. Asymmetric Silicon Diodes (least compressed, open & driven).
  5. Asymmetric Silicon Diodes with bass boost (least compressed, open & driven with a bass boost.)

Think of each position as a different “flavour” of the pedal. Fine-tune each of these modes with the Mid/Freq EQ for a near-infinite supply of gain options.

Walrus Audio

Walrus Audio describes itself as a collective of artists, musicians and engineers, bringing circuit design together with distinctive pedal artwork. The company says its effects are hand-built and manufactured in the USA. JustPedals listings illustrate the variety: ARP-87 multi-function delay, Slö ambient reverb, Julia analog chorus and vibrato, and Polychrome flanger. Some models focus on direct, compact controls, while others provide broader modulation or atmospheric textures. Compare each model’s modes, stereo connections and control options; the artwork is a signature of the brand, while the circuit determines how it fits a rig.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Overdrive

Uses moderate clipping and gain-dependent compression to add harmonics while retaining much of the original note contour. Bass filtering, mid emphasis, clipping symmetry and available headroom decide whether it sounds open and amplifier-like, tightly focused or heavily saturated.
