Walrus Audio Unveils the Mako Series MKII

Walrus Audio is excited to announce the release of their highly ambitious and highly anticipated MAKO MkII series. With the original MAKO line, players were offered premium all-in-one, multi-algorithm models for with the D1 Delay, R1 Reverb, and M1 Modulation, as well as top-of-the-line amp and cabinet simulation with the ACS1. After four years of real-world use and experience with the first generation, the team went to work applying everything they learned and heard from players to make the next generation of MAKO pedals even better.

Each pedal in the MAKO Series has been redesigned and rebuilt for vast improvements in tonality, new UI with the addition of an OLED navigation menu screen, and added secondary controls for even greater versatility. Dialing in these inspiring studio grade tones has never been easier and has never sounded better.

The ACS1 MkII features three new amplifier models to go with the three existing models, all inspired by high-gain amps for heavy-style players to get people moving:

• The distinctively raw and punchy Peavey 5150.
• The warm, rich, and harmonically complex Orange Rockerverb.
• The world-famous, in-your-face Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier.

Additional updates on the series are as follows:

• OLED navigation screen menu for improved UI.
• Increased headroom and lowered noise floor for tonal improvement.
• Rebuilt and fine tuned programs based on user feedback.
• All six R1 programs completely rebuilt from the ground up.
• All new Grain Delay algorithm on the D1.
• Six additional cabinet models for the ACS1, designed by Justin York at York Audio.
• Total BPM Control and BPM Readout on screen for time-based effects.
• Now 128 on-board presets.
• Many new program controls (ex. size control on R1, noise gate on ACS1).
• Flanger sound added to the Chorus algorithm on M1.

MAKO MkII Series pedals are packaged in custom anodized aluminum enclosures. Exact sizes for all four pedals is 4.9” x2.52” x 2.64”. Power requirement for all four pedals is 9VDC (300mA minimum).
