Silt is a two-in-one fuzz that creates massively rich fuzz tones perfect for chords and rhythmic parts or with the press of a switch, blooms high-end overtones into the signal before hitting the tube.
In Early 2023 tube expert, Jim Hagerman of Hagerman Amplification contacted Walrus Audio with the idea of collaborating on a new tube-driven fuzz effect with the goal of achieving complex fuzz tones in the Walrusform factor. After much productive back and forth on ideas, prototypes, and late nights, the Silt HarmonicFuzz was born.
Wielding an internal pre-amp tube, the Silt is a two-in-one fuzz that creates massively rich fuzz tones perfect for chords and rhythmic parts or with the press of a switch, blooms high-end overtones into the signal before hitting the tube. Crafted specifically for those seeking a harmonically rich fuzz experience, the Silt boasts an analog circuit with the distinctive warmth of a 12AU7 tube as its drive section, letting you explore a unique and wild sonic landscape.
Pressing the Harmonic Switch activates a harmonic mode that acts as a frequency doubler before the drive section of the pedal. This produces crispy, octave-like sounds, lending a unique edge to your lead tones.
The Contour Switch toggles between highpass, flat, and lowpass curves in the pre-tube EQ stage. Especially helpful when switching between different styles of pickups.
The Silt comes in two offerings: A textured red enclosure color with cream and black ink with artwork illustrated by Adam Forster or a flat black enclosure with simplified art in cream ink. The Silt runs at 9V or for increased gain, run the pedal at 12V DC, center negative, 300mA min. Dimensions are Height: 2.25,” Width: 3.62,” Depth: 4.79” including knobs.
Walrus Audio is offering The Silt for a retail price of $299.99. Join us in celebrating the Walrus Audio SiltHarmonic Fuzz, available now at walrusaudio.com and authorized dealers worldwide.

You could win a Fable Granular Soundscape Generator from Walrus Audio!
Walrus Audio Fable Granular Soundscape Generator Delay Pedal
Let your storybook adventure grow with the Fable Granular Soundscape Generator. The Fable creates new sonic adventures with five granular delay programs centered around sample and chop algorithms that create bizarrely beautiful networks of sampled and resampled sounds.
A pedal featuring five granular delay programs centered around sample and chop algorithms.
The Fable has a dual feedback path developed by DSP engineers at Walrus Audio. With two DSP chips, your signal is run through two separate effects in series (independently controlled by the Feedback and Regen Knobs), then the signals are run back through both DSP chips again before going through the output. Designed to give artists the ability to discover unique soundscapes ranging from smooth, flowing ambiance; to bizarre, organic reverberance; to chaotic, glitchy swarms.
Explore vast time stretching and reverse sounds with five different custom programs:
I. Reverse Delay into Reverse Granular
II. Forward Delay into Octave Up Granular
III. Analog Delay into Octave Down Granular
IV. Multi-Tap Granular into Multi-Tap Granular (Grain-Verb)
V. Forward Delay into Randomized Pitch Granular
Further explore the Fable with momentary features for adjusting modulation speed and a time-warping effect that can shift the clock rate up or down, giving a rising or sinking effect.
The Fable comes coated in a slate gray enclosure with white, black, cream, red, and orange ink with art by David Hüttner. The die-cast enclosure’s exact size is 3.62” x 4.79” x 2.25” including knobs. Power requirements are 9VDC, center negative(300mA minimum).
