I'm sure he's gonna give up on the Helix in his next video.

I actually bought one of these back in the day ... from memory the drive/gain/distortion sounds were just irretrievably and catastrophically horrific.

Those were never exactly meant to be used for drives and such (I think of those as a leftover that they just might've slapped in because it was easily possible). Mainly, the REX-50 was an SPX-90 spinoff and hence best for all the things you'd use that for, namely reverbs, some modulations and even some pitchbased FX. And given its age, it really wasn't too bad at that. I think I still have mine somewhere, just that the input trim pot is completely broken.

What else is out there? Anything else catch your eye - amps or modelers?

The Marty Friedman Sansamp was pretty slick. Generally what you’d come to expect from that line, but sounded solid - they nailed his modern tones pretty well and it’s easy to use. Definitely a strong option for an off-modeler in that it’s pretty flexible, but still more like having a good multichannel amp than a Helix. The lead tones were the high spot, unsurprisingly.

3rd Power had the Dragon out and it sounded killer. Otherwise, not much new in that realm, really. Neural didn’t even have a public booth, Line 6 had all of their stuff out at the Yamaha booth, etc. Marshall had odd amp series pedals I didn’t get a chance/much interest to try out. Like a JVM, DSL, 1959 in a box thing, but with just Tone controls instead of BMT, I’m immediately going to pass. JCM900 studio head is a nice addition; those poor things have received too much unfair hate over the years and it’s good to see them get some love.
 
The weird thing is that Quilter really do know how to build fantastic sounding non-valve Amp tones - I re-listened to their 30w UK Cub Video demo last night - AC15, AC30TB and JMP all in one - and was reminded just how fantastic it sounds and how much they clearly know what they are doing.

Thinking back on this pedal - overall size and form factor seems ok - 4 x FSW is good. Blister buttons are a nightmare waiting to happen.

Replace the Blister switch's with say 6 freely / auto assignable Push-Button Rotary Encoders, maybe 4 other dedicated buttons / arrows - even keep the basic screen but make it much bigger and this could be an amazing product for a lot of people.

If this is a prototype to get feedback that is doable.

If this is the final production model that their manufacturing are already tool'ed up for - too late.

For sure dude. I hope that didn’t come across rude. That whole realm just isn’t my thing so I’m a really poor evaluator with minimal frame of reference. It’s definitely an interesting tool and Walrus is consistently high quality, I just don’t have a good set of experiences to give it any real rating.

Not at all. I am looking for a fun multiefx for ambient sruff and it looks interesting and i wish it was 299

Hi All, Chris from Quilter Labs chiming in.
Just a couple of points to clarify, the "buttons" are not contact buttons.
They are capacitive touch sensing which prevents them from being damaged or wearing out over time.
The idea in its simplest sense is that there is a main knob for entry, and a selector for each parameter.
The displays (screens) are not a part of the product. But that said, it will launch with a browser based app (nothing to install) which will allow a user to edit their presets in real time from a Google Chrome Browser.
The unit is not meant to be a profiler or modeler. If anything, we sort of think of it as the anti-modeler. (But I will stop there so as to not become an advertisement, as I want to respect the forum.)
Happy to answer questions, and I am okay with opinions. I suppose we leave a lot of questions when we do a "sneak peek" at NAMM.

Well I was going to drop by here and say pretty much this. But you beat me to it.

So there will be some revisions to the UI and overall look and feel of the unit before release? What we've seen at NAMM is more of a preview?

So far as the onboard UI, no. As I mentioned in the post on the Gear Page, it will have real-time connectivity from a chrome browser. But that said, it is relatively simple to program even from the onboard interface. It would surprise you how easy it is to get exactly what you want. (But as I mentioned on TGP I want to respect the forum and not turn it into an ad, really I am here to clarify things if I can.)

What's your vision on how you see people using it? They program it on their whatever device using a web browser, then put that away and use the onboard functionality to do their gig work?

How does the connectivity to this thing work? I assume it's running a web server and Wifi or BT?

Wouldn't the capacitive buttons be an issue for dark stage use, as you'd have no tactile feedback and can't see the labels?

I imagine both ways. It isn't totally obvious at first glance how easy it is to program and work with. Personally there was a small paradigm shift but once it clicked, it became crazy simple to get whatever tone I was after. But again, don't want to make an ad of this. The web browser will make things a little easier for some, but it is pretty intuitive as is. Okay, connectivity is as follows...
Inputs and outputs are:
1) Mono guitar input.
2) Bluetooth compatible Jamlink™ module supporting Apple Lossless and Android APDX codecs.
3) Stereo xlr out and stereo 1/4 inch out.
4) Stereo USB interface out for DAW connectivity.
5) Headphone output.
6) Expression pedal input.
7) Midi in/out.
It is not running a web server, parameters are passed via USB.
It boots up in 3 seconds. ;)

I don't personally feel it's advertising if we want to discuss the product and know more about it - this is literally a gear forum after all 🙂

Go for it!

Agreed but also trying not to be a douchey CEO guy who comes along making ads all day. I am a guitarist and I hate that too. Just want to help out if I can. Don't worry, the marketing phase will be here soon enough.

In theory, we took a song/setlist based approach. So every preset has two presets. An A and B which can be wildly different from one another. By choosing the preset up or down, you select the preset you want, and then activate it with the A/B switch. Now to switch to B is one more click away. If it were pitch dark there would be a problem, but as long as there is enough light to see the display, you would generally know where to step. Really the capacitive touch functions are there when programming. This really wouldn't be the right solution if you want to be able to fine tune on the fly. That said, there are many functions that can be controlled with the expression pedal. So you could always set them up for that.
