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 Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
