Walrus Audio Jupiter V2
Walrus Audio · pedal
The Walrus Audio Jupiter V2 is a multi-clip fuzz that leans thicker and gooier than a traditional silicon or germanium fuzz, closer to a heavy, saturated distortion with plenty of sustain. Three clipping modes give distinct characters: the center setting offers an upfront overdrive/distortion voice, while the two outer settings deliver quieter, more saturated fuzz, one with pronounced upper-mid presence and the other more scooped. The Tone control ranges from warm and woolly, sitting back in the mix, to bright with bite and presence up front, and a Bass Boost thickens the low end for a weightier tone. An internal gate control tames noise or, dialed differently, produces the spitty character of a fuzz pedal running on a dying battery. It suits players wanting a versatile, thick, multi-voiced fuzz with real tonal range from woolly and dark to biting and present.
