The Walrus Audio Mantle Bass Preamp/DI is a premium all-analogue tone foundation designed for bassists who want studio-quality sound in any environment. Created in close collaboration with Ian Martin Allison it delivers authoritative low end rich harmonic detail and a clear confident signal whether you?re playing live recording or practising at home. At its core are custom-wound Sapphire transformers that bring classic console-inspired weight and clarity to your bass tone. Designed to sit at the end of your signal chain the Mantle combines musical gain a carefully tuned EQ and massive headroom in a compact pedal format. A transformer-balanced XLR output makes it equally at home feeding front of house or a recording interface while the unbalanced output lets you run an amp simultaneously. Simple intentional controls and an all-analogue signal path keep the focus on feel dynamics and tone.

Walrus Audio

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Walrus Audio is represented by Reverb Pedals, Distortion Pedals and Chorus Pedals. Current listings include Canvas Power HP, Canvas Power USB and Polychrome Flanger. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals shape an instrument signal and can feed a mixer, interface, PA, recorder or amplifier with a more controlled level and impedance. They may add EQ, gain, cabinet simulation, balanced output, ground lift or instrument-specific voicing. A bass, acoustic or electric-guitar preamp can solve very different problems, so check the input headroom, output format, phantom-power behaviour and routing. Decide whether the pedal should drive an amp, replace one for direct use or perform both roles.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.
