The Walrus Audio Eras pedal is one of the most versatile gain boxes we've seen for some time! With plenty of sounds and functions packed into a compact chassis that easily fits onto your pedalboard — thanks to its thoughtful top-mounted jacks — the Eras is ready to chug, shred and palm-mute with a tight response and multiple clipping options at your disposal.
Unique Blend Control
Max out the unit's dedicated 'Blend' knob for full-on distorted onslaught, or roll it back and experiment by stacking other dirt pedals in front of the Eras. This stompbox is also great for bass players who like to blend their dry signal with distortion, yielding a modern tone that remains focused and dynamic. No matter how you configure the Walrus Audio Eras, this pedal is ready to deliver a diverse selection of speaker-ripping sounds!
5 Gain States for Unparalleled Versatility
The Eras features a five-position rotary knob that offers the following gain states. It's almost like having five drive circuits in one pedal!
- I: Tight mode with a slight mid-cut, LED hard-clipping, and internal volume compensation. Fastest response, great for palm muting.
- II: Tight mode with a slight mid-cut and silicon hard-clipping. Smooth with added compression.
- III: Dual-clipping mode with a slight mid-cut and both silicon and LED hard-clipping. Rich & full with added sustain.
- IV: Rhythm mode with a deeper mid-cut, LED hard-clipping, and internal volume compensation. Scooped mids, tight response.
- V: Rhythm mode with a deeper mid-cut and silicon hard-clipping. Rhythmic, warm and full.
Think of each position as a different "flavour". Blend in your dry signal, or use other pedals in conjunction with these gain states for a near-infinite amount of high-quality distortion sounds!

Distortion
A distortion pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal used to add gain, saturation, and harmonic distortion to the guitar signal, resulting in a more aggressive and gritty tone. Distortion pedals are widely used across various music genres, particularly in rock, metal, punk, and alternative styles, to achieve heavier and more intense guitar tones.
Here are the key features and functions of a distortion pedal:
1. **Gain (or Drive)**: The gain control adjusts the amount of distortion applied to the guitar signal. Increasing the gain setting increases the level of saturation and overdrive, resulting in a more distorted and aggressive tone. Lower gain settings produce a cleaner sound with less distortion.
2. **Tone**: The tone control adjusts the frequency response of the distorted signal, allowing you to tailor the tonal characteristics of the distortion effect. Depending on the pedal, the tone control may boost or cut specific frequency ranges, such as bass, midrange, or treble, to shape the overall sound.
3. **Level (or Output)**: The level control adjusts the overall output volume of the distorted signal. This allows you to match the level of the distorted signal with the rest of your effects chain or amplifier, ensuring consistent volume levels when engaging the pedal.
4. **Mode (or Voice)**: Some distortion pedals feature multiple modes or voicings that offer different types of distortion or gain characteristics. These modes may include options such as “Vintage,” “Modern,” or “High Gain,” each providing a distinct tonal flavor and level of saturation.
Distortion pedals offer several benefits and creative uses for guitarists:
– **Increased Gain and Sustain**: By adding gain and saturation to the guitar signal, distortion pedals increase the overall volume and sustain of the instrument, allowing notes and chords to ring out longer and with more intensity.
– **Tonal Shaping**: Distortion pedals often include tone controls that allow you to shape the frequency response of the distorted signal. This allows you to dial in the desired amount of bass, midrange, and treble to suit your playing style and musical preferences.
– **Emphasis of Harmonics**: Distortion pedals emphasize the harmonics and overtones present in the guitar signal, resulting in a richer, more complex tone with added depth and character. This can make lead lines and solos stand out and cut through the mix more effectively.
– **Versatility and Flexibility**: Distortion pedals come in a wide range of styles and voicings, from mild overdrive to high-gain distortion. This versatility allows you to choose a pedal that best suits your playing style, musical genre, and tonal preferences.
Overall, distortion pedals are essential tools for guitarists seeking to achieve heavier, more aggressive, and saturated tones. Whether used subtly to add warmth and edge to clean tones or used more aggressively to create crushing distortion, distortion pedals can enhance your guitar tone and bring new dimensions to your playing.

Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
