The Walrus Audio Mako Series R1 is a high-fidelity stereo reverb, the sequel to the acclaimed D1 delay, offering six reverb types with deep adjustment in a compact pedal. Dedicated Decay, Swell, and Mix knobs sit alongside a Tweak knob that accesses Rate, Depth, and Pre-Delay, a Tune knob for low and high frequency voicing, and an X parameter unique to each reverb, such as overdrive on Spring or room size on Hall. Modes include lush halls and rooms plus experimental voices like Refract, a glitchy texture over diffuse reverb, and Air, an aerated reverb with subtle shimmer. It excels at expansive stereo space and ambient exploration. It suits ambient, post-rock, and experimental players wanting a versatile, workstation-grade reverb with presets in a compact enclosure.
The Walrus Audio Slö is a multi-texture ambient reverb from Walrus Audio (Oklahoma City, USA), delivering three reverb algorithms — Dark (adds a lower octave layer), Rise (ambient swell that blooms into the reverb), and Dream (a latching reverb pad that sustains) — with a Mod knob and expression pedal input for evolving ambient textures.
