In a groundbreaking collaboration, Walrus Audio has teamed up with renowned tube specialist Jim Hagerman of Hagerman Amplification to introduce the Silt Harmonic Fuzz. This marvel of engineering is designed to provide guitarists with a diverse range of fuzz tones, enriched with the unique warmth and complexity that only a tube-driven effect can offer.
Silt Harmonic Fuzz Key Features:
– 12AU7 Tube-Driven Fuzz: At the heart of the Silt Harmonic Fuzz lies the 12AU7 tube, delivering a warm, enveloping fuzz that resonates with bone-rattling intensity. This feature not only offers the traditional grit and growl expected from a fuzz pedal but also adds a layer of harmonic complexity unique to tube-driven effects.
– Harmonic Mode: A standout feature of the Silt is its Harmonic Mode, acting as a frequency doubler before the drive section. This innovative addition produces crisp, octave-like sounds, giving your lead tones a distinct edge, especially when used with the guitar tone knob dialed back.
– Contour Control: The pedal comes equipped with a Contour control, allowing users to fine-tune their fuzz tones with unprecedented precision. Switch between highpass, flat, and lowpass curves in the pre-tube EQ stage, offering a range of sonic possibilities.
– Variable Voltage Operation: The Silt operates between 9v and 12v, with the higher voltage providing an extra gain boost. This flexibility ensures that the pedal can deliver searing tones and push the boundaries of traditional fuzz effects.
– True Bypass Circuitry: Ensuring the integrity of your original tone, the Silt features a true bypass circuit. This means that when the pedal is disengaged, your guitar’s natural sound is preserved without any coloration.
User-Friendly Controls
The pedal’s interface includes user-friendly controls for Volume, Tone, Gain, and Contour, along with switches for Bypass and Harmonic Mode. These controls allow for easy adjustments and customization of your sound.
Two Designs
The Silt Harmonic Fuzz is available in two designs: a textured red enclosure with cream and black ink, featuring artwork by Adam Forster, and a sleek, flat black enclosure with simplified art in cream ink.
Proud Collaboration and American Craftsmanship
This pedal represents a proud collaboration between Walrus Audio and Jim Hagerman and is designed and assembled in the USA, ensuring high quality and reliability.
Whether you’re a professional guitarist looking for a unique fuzz experience or an enthusiast exploring new sonic territories, the Walrus Audio Silt Harmonic Fuzz is a must-try. Its combination of tube warmth, harmonic richness, and versatile controls make it a standout addition to any pedal collection.
