Walrus Audio Voyager Floral
Walrus Audio · pedal
The Walrus Audio Voyager is a transparent preamp/overdrive pedal following the classic three-knob Centaur-style topology, offering warm, amp-like drive with clarity that stays out of the way of a guitar's natural tone. This Floral colorway is a cosmetic variant of the original Voyager circuit, released before the Voyager MKII's more feature-rich redesign added a footswitchable parametric mid EQ and five selectable clipping modes. The original Voyager remains a simpler, more streamlined take on the transparent-overdrive format.
