The Walrus Audio Fable MKII Granular Soundscape Generator is a stereo ambient powerhouse that blends delay and granular processing into five inspiring dual-effect algorithms. From reverse washes and octave-shifted cascades to glitchy clouds and pitch-scattered textures, it is built to turn simple phrases into evolving, cinematic soundscapes, complete with MIDI control, expression support and onboard presets. At its core, Fable MKII runs two effects in series with independent feedback paths, so your repeats do not just loop, they morph. Reverse delays fold into reverse grains, analogue-style echoes sink into octave-down rumbles, and multi-tap granular engines collide to form dense, organic ambience. Whether you are scoring, sound designing or just pushing your pedalboard into new territory, the Fable rewards experimentation with endlessly shifting textures. Despite its deep engine, the pedal remains performance friendly. Dedicated Feedback and Regen controls keep each feedback path in check, while the X control and Tweak section give you fast access to grain size, modulation, stereo width and the dramatic Dive / Rise momentary effect. Tap tempo, trails bypass and stereo I/O make it easy to drop into any modern rig, from mono boards to expansive stereo setups. Under the hood, Walrus Audio’s proprietary MDSP platform delivers high fidelity processing and complex nested feedback routing without sacrificing clarity. With three onboard presets, full MIDI implementation and an assignable expression input, the Fable MKII is equally at home on a compact pedalboard or as the centrepiece of a fully automated studio or live rig. Five Storybook Granular Modes The Fable MKII offers five carefully voiced modes that each pair a delay with a granular algorithm, covering reverse ambience, octave-up swarms, octave-down drones, dual multi-tap grain-verb and wild random pitch scattering. This focused set of engines makes it easy to dial in everything from subtle movement to full-blown experimental sound design without getting lost in menus. Dual Feedback Paths for Evolving Textures Separate Feedback and Regen controls let you shape how the delay and granular engines feed back into each other, so repeats continually transform rather than simply repeat. This dual-path design is what gives the Fable its signature evolving character, from smooth, flowing ambience to chaotic, glitchy swarms that feel alive under your fingers. Performance-Focused Tweak and Dive / Rise Controls The Tweak button and knob provide instant access to stereo Width, modulation Rate and Shape, plus Shift and Ramp for the Dive / Rise function. Holding the tap footswitch triggers a momentary time and pitch dive or rise, with the speed and depth set via Tweak, letting you add dramatic swells, tape-style pitch bends and seasick glides without changing your core settings. Stereo, MIDI and Preset Ready With stereo inputs and outputs, three onboard presets plus live mode, full MIDI clock and CC control, and an assignable expression input, the Fable MKII drops seamlessly into modern pedalboards and DAW-controlled rigs. You can sync delays to tempo, automate every parameter, and recall up to 127 additional presets over MIDI for fully repeatable, complex soundscapes. Key Features Five Dual-Effect Granular Modes – Choose from Reverse into Reverse Granular, Forward into Octave Up, Analogue-style into Octave Down, dual Multi-Tap Grain-Verb, and Forward into Randomised Pitch Granular. Each mode explores a different corner of granular processing, giving you a wide palette of ambient and experimental tones in a single pedal. Independent Feedback and Regen Paths – Separate Feedback and Regen controls manage the two feedback loops inside the pedal, so you can keep delays clean while granular textures go wild, or push both into self-oscillating chaos. This independence makes it easy to fine-tune how your sound evolves over time. Powerful Tweak Section with Dive / Rise – The Tweak control cycl…

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.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
