Walrus Introduces the Voyager MKII Overdrive

Walrus Introduces the Voyager MKII Overdrive

Adding thoughtful features not seen on a Klon-style circuit before, the Voyager MKII gets five variations of overdrive texture selectable by rotary, and a foot-switchable parametric midfrequency EQ.


"The year 2011 was a big one with memorable events like Prince William and Kate’s wedding, “Party Rock Anthem” was everywhere, but maybe the most relevant to you since you’re reading this, was the birth of effect pedal creators, Walrus Audio. With only a couple of employees and a tiny shop, Walrus burst into the guitar effects world with their first pedal, the Voyager Overdrive, turning heads of guitarists like Joe Bonamassa, Ed O’Brien, and Nels Cline."

The five-way rotary switch includes the following modes:
1: Classic 1N34A Germanium Diodes (most compressed). This is the original Voyager sound.
2: Classic 1N34A Germanium Diodes with bass boost (trust us).
3: Symmetric Silicon Diodes (more open and dynamic).
4: Asymmetric Silicon Diodes (least compressed, open & driven).
5: Asymmetric Silicon Diodes with bass boost (least compressed, open & driven with a bass boost.)

External updates include top-mounted jacks, and true bypass, soft-touch relay switches. The Voyager MKII is available in two different versions:

1. Seafoam with black ink and the Voyager satellite illustrated by original Voyager artist, Nathan Price.
2. Matte black with cream ink and space helmet illustrated by Christi Du Toit. The die-cast enclosure’s exact size is 4.77” x 2.6” x 1.39” including knobs. Power requirements are 9VDC, center negative (100mA minimum).

Walrus Audio is offering The Voyager MKII for a retail price of $249.99 and is available now at walrusaudio.com.

An overdrive and mangled fuzz that’s a wolf in a maniacal, rabid wolf’s clothing.

Invites new compositional approaches to riffs and solos. Gray Channel distortion is versatile and satisfying. Unpredictable.

Unpredictable. Footswitches for distortion and fuzz are quite close.

Fuzz can be savored in so many ways. It can be smooth. It can be an agent of chaos. But it can also be a trap. In service of mayhem, it can be a mere noise crutch. Smooth, classy, “tasty” fuzz, meanwhile, can lead to dull solos crafted as Olympian demonstrations of sustain. To touch the soulful, rowdy essence of fuzz, it’s good to find one that never lets you get quite comfortable. The EarthQuaker Devices Gary, a two-headed distortion/overdrive and rabid, envelope-controlled square-wave fuzz designed with IDLES’ Lee Kiernan, is a gain device in this vein.

Guest columnist Dave Pomeroy, who is also president of Nashville’s musicians union, with some of his friends.

Dave Pomeroy, who’s played on over 500 albums with artists including Emmylou Harris, Elton John, Trisha Yearwood, Earl Scruggs, and Alison Krauss, shares his thoughts on bass playing—and a vision of the future.

From a very young age, I was captivated by music. Our military family was stationed in England from 1961 to 1964, so I got a two-year head start on the Beatles starting at age 6. When Cream came along, for the first time I was able to separate what the different players were doing, and my focus immediately landed on Jack Bruce. He wrote most of the songs, sang wonderfully, and drove the band with his bass. Playing along with Cream’s live recordings was a huge part of my initial self-training, and I never looked back.

The Old Blood Dark Star Stereo (DSS) is one of those pedals that lives beyond simple effect categorization. Yes, it’s a digital reverb. But like other Old Blood designs, it’s such a feature-rich, creative take on that effect that to think of it as a reverb feels not only imprecise but unfair.
