Walrus Audio introduces the Meraki, a standout stereo analog dual delay pedal, priced at $599. This complex and exclusive product is limited to batches of 100 units, reflecting its intricate design. The Meraki, a term derived from Greek signifying work done with soul and creativity, marks nearly two years of dedicated development.
Walrus Audio Meraki
At the core of the Meraki is the use of eight MN3005 bucket brigade chips, famously known for powering the Deluxe Memory Man. This assembly delivers warm, rich delay effects full of depth and character, offering up to 1200ms of delay time.
Delay Modes
The pedal features diverse delay modes including parallel, ping-pong, and series, with independent control over delay times and modulation, allowing for customized soundscapes.
Regular Guitar Bomb readers may remember the recent limited run in black from 2023. This limited edition version is currently available at Thomann.
MIDI
The Meraki boasts true stereo in/out jacks, separate delay lines, and a sync switch for crafting syncopated rhythms and classic delay effects. Users can further fine-tune settings for each channel, including tap division, feedback, and modulation. The pedal’s MIDI compatibility ensures seamless integration with click tracks, enhancing usability.
Limited Batches
The pedal offers two feedback controls for independent channel adjustment, a wet/dry mix, and a modulation knob for altering modulation strength. Additional features include four switches for sync control, tap division options, delay mode selection, and an on/off stomp with tap tempo.
Designed with aesthetics in mind, the Meraki sports a custom powder-coated matte black aluminum finish with a touch of gold ink, adding a luxurious feel. It measures 2.35h” x 4.98w” x 5.86d,” including stomp and jacks.
Given its unique nature and limited component availability, Walrus Audio produces the Meraki in limited batches.
The first batch of the Meraki is now available in online gear shops.
