The 385 by Walrus Audio is a dynamic overdrive pedal inspired by the Bell and Howell Filmosound 385 projector. The pedal is designed to replicate the rich tones of the vintage projector's tube-powered audio sections when used as a guitar amp. It features a simple yet effective control layout and a dual 6V6 output section, resulting in a highly responsive and compressed overdrive when cranked.
The 385 pedal is equipped with a tone control that allows for a wide array of tones to be achieved by boosting and cutting bass and treble separately. This design enables users to be creative with mid-frequency scoops and bumps. Internally, the pedal runs at 18v, providing a dynamic feel similar to that of the original amp, making it extremely sensitive to playing dynamics.
The 385 by Walrus Audio is known for its amp-like characteristics, offering a tube-like, responsive, and dynamic overdrive experience. It is suitable for guitarists seeking pure tone and a wide range of tonal possibilities.
