Walrus Audio Unveils $99.99 Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay Pedal
Walrus Audio's new Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay pedal delivers three lo-fi algorithms, tap tempo, and up to 1 second of delay for just $99.99.
Walrus Audio has expanded its accessible stompbox lineup with the new Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay, bringing characterful, degraded echoes and vintage textures to guitarists for $99.99 / £94.99. Designed and assembled in Oklahoma City, the pedal bridges studio-quality sound with streamlined, real-world usability for players looking to add nostalgic grit to their core tone.
Three Distinct Lo-Fi Delay Modes
At the core of the new pedal are three distinct algorithms tailored for varied sonic environments:
- AM Mode: Delivers bright, degraded repeats with a radio-like quality that gradually crumble away.
- Murk Mode: Piles on dark filtering and heavy modulation for thick, swirling echoes that sit deep in a mix.
- Echo Mode: Focuses on multi-tap patterns that transition smoothly from tight, textural repeats to expansive, syncopated rhythms ideal for ambient and post-rock styles.
Streamlined Hands-On Controls
Eschewing complex digital menus, the Fundamental Lo-Fi Delay features physical sliders for Time, Feedback, and Mix, enabling rapid sound-shaping. With up to one second of delay, the pedal easily covers everything from tight slapback echoes to long, evolving soundscapes.
Live & Studio
For live performers and studio tracking alike, the pedal includes built-in tap tempo with note divisions (quarter-note, dotted-eighth-note, and eighth-note), ensuring repeats stay locked precisely to performance tempos.
A three-way mode switch handles algorithm selection, while selectable trails let users choose between natural, fading repeats or an instant cut-off when the pedal is bypassed.
For $99.99 this one is hard to beat and we score it high for anyone who loves lo-fi delay.
