What is a B-stock product?

A product becomes B-stock when it can no longer be sold as new. It can simply be a product that has been returned by a customer or it may have packaging that is damaged or missing. It’s possible that the product itself may show slight signs of use or damage too. All B-stock products are fully checked to ensure that they work properly and you can find details of why the product is a B-stock in the information above.

B-stock information

The B-stock tab on the product page shows information about the B-stock product. Be aware that this information supersedes anything you may read in the product description. The product description includes text and specifications about the product in its brand-new state. It’s possible that a B-stock item may be missing accessories mentioned in the text or specifications, for instance, but if so, this will always be mentioned in the B-stock information. B-stock products also include photos of the actual B-stock item so that you can see exactly what it looks like.

B-stock photos

The B-stock photos allow you to see the actual B-stock product you are considering purchasing. The photos show the following::

  • Photo of the brand new product
  • Photo of the B-stock product with packaging (if included) and any accessories
  • Photo showing the front of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing the back of the B-stock product
  • Photo showing any damage to the B-stock product (if applicable)

Original packaging

Packaging in good condition: undamaged (sticky tape residue may be visible)
Packaging damaged: box has dents, tears and/or holes
Packaging missing: replaced with a Bax Music box

State of product:

New: the product itself is new, but the packaging may not look new
Signs of use (no damage or scratches): smudges, fingerprints and/or dust
Scratches/damage: product has scratches and/or damage

Can I return a B-stock product?

Yes! Our 30-Day Trial Period also applies to B-stock products.

General

With the Walrus Audio Fable MKII Black, you can turn your playing into an ever-changing soundscape. This stereo effects pedal combines delay with granular processing: a technique that samples short sound fragments and plays them back. These so-called ‘grains’ can be played backwards, sped up or slowed down, giving familiar notes a completely different character. Two effects are arranged in series and feature separately adjustable feedback paths. This allows you not only to build up repeats, but also to create ever-changing layers of sound. From flowing ambient sounds to erratic glitch effects: you decide how far to take it. This black version is part of the Storybook Stereo series and runs on Walrus Audio’s proprietary MDSP platform.

Five modes to lose yourself in

The five modes each offer a different combination of effects. Mode I combines reverse delay with inverted grains, whilst Mode II routes a standard delay through grains playing at double speed. This produces bright octave sounds. For a darker sound, choose Mode III, with an analogue-sounding delay and grains at half speed. Mode IV stacks two multi-tap granular effects to create organic reverb textures and glitchy soundscapes. Mode V randomly alternates between playback speeds and directions. With Feedback and Regen, you can control the individual feedback paths, allowing you to shape the build-up of the effect yourself whilst playing.

Stereo, presets and expressive control

Use the Tweak knob to sequentially adjust the stereo width, modulation speed, waveform and the behaviour of Dive/Rise. Hold down the tap footswitch to temporarily slide the sound up or down. Three presets on the pedal and access to 127 presets via MIDI allow you to recall your settings. The 3.5 mm TRS MIDI Type A socket enables clock synchronisation and CC control; the expression input can also be used for external tap control. Connect the pedal in full stereo mode or use mono-in/stereo-out for a wide sound. With Trails, effect tails continue to fade out naturally after the effect is switched off. A 9 V DC, centre-negative power supply with a minimum of 300 mA is required.
