“PE” NPD: Walrus Audio Mako M1 (mk 1)

[the swede]

Been thinking about modulation since winter now. First thought was to just go for a simple trem, then I thought… fuck… i only have one spot for a mod pedal and i want it to do something more. Been looking at all sorts of multi digital single pedal format things. Plethora, Hotone, EHX mod, HX One… the list is long… but then stumbled across some YouTube clips with the Walrus M1 (mk 1). Bam. That’s the one.

It goes against my quest for simplicity but it still ticks a few very unique boxes in one.
Tremolo, Vibe and Lo-Fi options. (cheaper than most options) Done!

Added bonuses that i really look forward to is the whole secondary section that can be added to the choosen effect:
Envelope/drive/space. Age/noise/warble.

Deal is done 200 usd including shipping - (excl eventual import/tax, if I’m lucky it will slip through customs… probably not) - which is a great price compared to the now new mk 2.

Will probably take a few weeks, hence the “PE” which is my way of taking care of my friends here. The real “E” will have to wait until it’s here. Ample load up time, for a pleasing “release”.

I love your measured, considered, slow burn approach to gear acquisition these days. Many of us here could learn a lot from that, I'm sure!

A friend of mine has one of those and it’s a really fun pedal.
You should have hours of fun when it arrives

It’s really nice and I feel so good about gear now. It’s not an itchy, low noised, inner stress underneath the surface anymore.

My “start over” is approaching a year now. It was this time, around summer last year i decided to give guitar and gear (or me) another chance. And I’m so happy that I didn’t rush. Sorting through some old pedals, really thinking about every purchase, and carefully weighing needs/wants.
Slowly I’ve been getting back the inspiration to just play and noodle while at the same time appreciate the nerdy parts.
So it’s been a slow process with careful steps to not run straight into a psychological mess that leads to a sudden breakdown and purge.

I’m comfortable now. I’ll eventually reach a point where I’m ready to record and focus on writing (for my own pleasures). When that times comes I will have to tackle the last hurdle of the “attention seeker” and “egomaniac” in relation to social media and other mediums.

I’m pretty clear that I will be adding that, some form of throwing out stuff. But the last mental journey is to do that in a way that doesn’t break me down again.

One thing I can say have been the best method for my kind of “issues”. It’s just to forget about everything and close the door, for days, a week, whatever… it’s just some shit in a room that doesn’t deserve the right to steal my focus from kids, wife, house…. Life.
