Walrus Audio Lore MKII Reverse Soundscape Generator Stereo Ambient Pedal - Black

Create the soundtrack to your storybook adventure with the Walrus Audio Lore MKII Stereo Reverse Soundscape Generator. Designed around five distinct modes, the Lore MKII is a stereo ambient creation machine engineered with reverse delays, reverse reverbs, pitch shifting, and time-stretching. Powered by Walrus Audio's proprietary MDSP digital processing platform, this pedal runs multiple algorithms in series with complex nested feedback paths—creating evolving, otherworldly soundscapes that never repeat the same way twice.

Whether you want delicate octave-up shimmer, murky low-end drone pads, or intricate pitch-shifting pattern sequences, the Lore MKII offers deep control over your spatial landscape. With full stereo I/O, full MIDI implementation, assignable expression control, 3 onboard presets (plus 127 via MIDI), and the interactive Dive / Rise momentary pitch ramp switch, the Lore MKII transforms a single guitar into an expansive ambient soundscape.

Key Features:

• 5 Soundscape Modes: Reverse Delay to Reverse Reverb, Reverse Delay to Octave Up Reverb, Reverse Delay to Octave Down Reverb, Dual Reverb (Reverse to Forward), and Dueling Pitch Delays.
• Stereo Ambient Engine: Runs multiple DSP algorithms in series with dual feedback networks for constantly evolving textures.
• Tweak Control System: One knob easily accesses Width, Modulation Rate (0.1–5 Hz), Modulation Shape (Sine, Square, Random), Pitch Shift, and Ramp time parameters.
• Dive / Rise Switch: Hold the tap tempo switch to momentarily ramp clock speed up or down for sea-sick glides or instant pitch drops.
• Full MIDI & Expression Control: MIDI clock synchronization, full CC parameter control, and assignable expression input.
• Onboard Presets: Save up to 3 onboard presets (plus live mode) or access up to 127 presets over MIDI.
• Selectable Bypass Trails: Choose between natural decay (Trails mode) or instant cutoff (No Trails mode).

Detailed Mode Overview:

• Mode I (Reverse Delay into Reverse Reverb): Interacting feedback paths reverse, re-reverse, and reverberate your signal for eerie, ambient space.
• Mode II (Reverse Delay into Octave Up Reverb): Breathy, light ambient tank with octave-up harmonic feedback—ideal for delicate fingerpicking.
• Mode III (Reverse Delay into Octave Down Reverb): Dark, murky reverb with heavy filtering and distortion—pairs perfectly with high-gain and fuzz.
• Mode IV (Reverse Reverb into Forward Reverb): Dual harmonic feedback paths allowing independent octave-up and octave-down tuning for rich ambient pads and drones.
• Mode V (Pitch Delay into Pitch Delay): Two dueling pitch delays shifting in complementary or opposing directions, acting as a harmonizer at short delay times or a sequencer at longer settings.
