For the Fundamental Series, we challenged ourselves to design a set of pedals with the tonal integrity that’s required to live on a professional’s pedalboard, but with simplified controls friendly enough for even the newest effect pedal users. Each Fundamental pedal has 3 sliders for tweaking the sound and a three-way switch for changing pedal modes. The result is a line of 8 pedals that will keep you covered from your first band practice all the way to a sold-out arena. Designed and assembled at Walrus Audio headquarters in OKC, OK.
Fundamental Distortion
The Fundamental Distortion is a 3-mode distortion. It covers a wide range of sounds from dark and doom through sharp cutting leads.
Gain –The Gain slider sets the amount of gain applied to your guitar signal passing through the fuzz circuit.
Tone –The Tone slider controls the frequency response of the signal after distortion. Below center boosts highs and above center cuts highs.
Volume –The Volume slider sets the overall output volume of the pedal.
Slide Switch –The slide switch allows you to change between 3 distinct flavors of the pedal. Each position has different clipping modes or tone profiles.
Dark -Asymmetric silicon clipping with added high-frequency cut. Think dark and dynamic.
Si -Classic silicon hard clipping diodes. Things get compressed and crunchy.
LED -LED hard clipping diodes. A dynamic and crunchy sound.
Note: The LED clipping mode will be louder due to the nature of the LEDs, so use your volume slider to compensate!
Bypass Switch –Turns the effect on and off.
Bypass LED -Illuminated when the effect is engaged.
Input Jack -1/4 inch cable from the instrument.
Output Jack -1/4 inch cable to amplifier.
9v Jack – 9-volt DC, Center Negative, 100mA min.
