Product information

General

Like a well-seasoned shaman, the Walrus Audio Lore Reverse Soundscape Generator serves as a guide through epic tapestries of sound, whether your sidekick is an electric or electro-acoustic guitar or a synthesizer, or in fact, any instrument fitted with a line output. Based on reversed reverbs and delays, this stompbox is able to spin five special blends of hair-raising and high-quality effects, including a pitch delay, reverse reverb, forward reverb, and octave up and octave down reverbs. All of it is generated via two DSP chips that work together in series, each with their own dedicated analogue feedback path, and the result is a deliciously hypnotic and otherworldly landscape of ambience.

The Walrus Audio Lore Reverse Soundscape Generator: Custom Sound

The Program pot scrolls through the five different and specially developed algorithms, so you can turn tricks like sending a reverse delay through a reverse reverb before dictating when the end of the reverb tail starts with the X pot. Or, you could select a light reverb delay combined with an octave up reverb and make things shimmer and sparkle by pushing up the Regen pot. While the X controls the tail fade, the Feedback pot controls the tail length and clarity. So, if you want to mash a reverse delay up with a lower octave reverb, you get fat full-range sound with sweet harmonic distortion and solid filtering - if you want more of that bottom end, just turn up the Regen, and if you want to stretch the tails even further, just tweak the X pot.

Tone Tinkering & Duelling Delays

You can even blend a forward reverb with a reversed reverb to create properly mind-bending, time-stretching effects with added low and high octaves and dial in a custom character yourself. The Reverse Soundscape Generator can also pit two pitch delays against each other, challenging them to a duel of sonic patterns, pushing the up and down pitch shifts against each other and through the feedback paths, giving the Lore the sound of a harmonizer one second and a sequencer the next.

The Rise & Fall

But this Walrus Audio offering doesn't stop there. Using the Mod pot, even more ambience can be thrown in. Crank up the modulation before dictating the tempo by pushing the pot down. The tempo of the main effects can also be set via the Tap footswitch in the lower right corner of the control panel, and by holding the Tap switch down, the Dive function becomes active and the LED indicator turns blue. Here, the pitch literally takes a momentary dive down for as long as the switch is held. To gain the same effect in reverse, simply hit the Tap and Bypass switch at the same time, the LED will turn green, and when you hold the Tap switch down, the pitch will rise into the very heavens - or for as far as you dare to hold it.

Walrus Audio Lore Reverse Soundscape Generator Pedal

Mooie soundscape generator met veel mogelijkheden. Door met 2 DSP's verschillende (reverse en forward) delays en reverbs in elkaar te laten vloeien krijg je de meest bijzondere geluiden.
Erg leuk om mee te experimenteren.
