General

Like the darker alter-ego of the Walrus Audio Lore, the Walrus Audio Fable stompbox is billed as a Granular Soundscape Generator - because that's exactly what it does. Lay down unique, auto-varied atmospherics and ambience against a backdrop of dark reverb, modulation and the stuttering chaos of glitched effects. Everything is made possible by the dual DSP architecture, both with individual feedback paths. Scroll through the set of five built-in programs to find your preferred starting point and dial in your own custom touch via the seven-pot control section and tap-tempo footswitch. Just like all Walrus Audio offerings, the elegantly surreal Fable has been built in the USA.

The Walrus Audio Fable: Dark Magic

So what does Walrus Audio mean by 'granular'? In tech-speak, this refers to digital microsample processing, where snippet-sized samples (grains) are read from a delay buffer. These grains can then be manipulated to conjure twisted, warped and softly stuttering effects. Imagine playing the grains back at double or half-speed to shift the pitch or simply reversing them. The approach is both powerful and complex, but thanks to that bank of pre-configured programs, it's actually pretty easy to delve into the dark sonic magic this pedal is able to weave.

Really pleased with this, great soundscape generator for drones but also interesting delay effects with the mix dialed back. Great price too.

Excellent pedal, has sounds I've not been able to get from other pedals and in series or parallel with the Walrus audio Lore is exactly what I needed.

De Fable heb ik nu 1 week in huis maar het is iedere keer weer een ontdekkingsreisje! Wat een dynamisch en creatief pedaal is dit. De parameters van elke pot zorgen voor grote diversiteit waardoor je niet snel het zelfde geluid te pakken hebt. Dit is in mijn beleving super want pedalen zijn snel saai en dat is bij de Fable zeker niet het geval. Er zitten geen opslagmogelijkheden in om presets te maken maar je kunt met je telefoon (camera) je favoriete instelling makkelijk vastleggen.
