Massive Kudos to Walrus for putting Manly midi connectors on the top of the unit. Out live those flimsy adaptors will break at a gig and then...you have no midi at all. Sure some would have liked top mounted in/out jacks...but considering the availability of direct 1/4" connectors (no bale length...just a connector)..a very smart trade-off,in my book. Great pedal!! And to boot: no tricky software to deal with...just get to the web browser and that's it!!!! I wish all companies did things this way. Make the User happy NOW...not some elusive ..."wait for the new software blah blah blah "..or "Hey we didn't want to spend on road worthy Midi jacks so now you gotta deal with these flimsy adaptors...good luck peeps!". No..Walrus did such a great job here.
I have the D1, same design. They look entirely different side by side. Boxes are totally different. The knob layout is the only similarity. Both amazing designs
So wait its a $350 reverb pedal and it can't do surf rock? And before anyone gets their feathers rustled, EHX's Oceans 11 and 12 are both far more affordable and just as capable... I don't get the appeal of pedals like this or even Strymon and Chase Bliss pedals, just to be flashy I guess.
@@Dave90425 I just watched four demos and didn’t hear that drip, it’s got drip but it’s not that drip you know what I mean? Would love to try it for myself and see 🤷🏻♂️
@@mindgoblin7068 To be fair, being that this is a multi-reverb unit it may not have the best spring sound in it. IMHO, the Source Audio True Spring pedal is the way to go for that particular sound.
@@Topsy_Krett Agreed. Spring is a real tough one because usually it goes for one of two vintage spring tank sounds, this one falls kinda in the middle which isn’t a terrible thing.
![Walrus Audio Mako Series [R1] | how to make presets + review](/img/1.gif)
Wow that rendition of Harvest Moon was amazing!
Yeah! Almost Pink Floydish to my ears
@@es5679 -- Good ear! Like something off "Meddle."
Simply amazing! I’d love to hear him do Country Girl as well. That’s always been one of my favorites
TRULY Brilliant!! All the changes in rhythm and reverb...just great!!!
I guess it doesn’t matter what kind of gear Mike plays....it sounds very very cool and nice!
Really digging what Colt and the rest at Walrus are doing with the Mako series. The reverbs are great and sound amazing.
Sound great. Look *a lot* like Chase Bliss form factor...
Thank you for this demo. Hall setting is ridiculously good. finally a standard size stereo pedal that does a great hall ...
One of the better sounding demos of this one that i've heard!
What a great looking pedal, awesome design!

best demo of this pedal...by far!
Great demo Mike - and some lovely playing!
Awesome intro, thank you!
The streets of heaven are paved with reverb pedals.
Yep, I'll be hunting one of these down soon.
Damn. 🤯 playing
"Let the music do the talking" indeed.
Detroit.
Hey Mike! I read about some issues because of a noise gate inside this pedal. What was your experience with it? It sounds amazing, btw.
sounds amazing but for $350?
Sounds good but not like 350$^^
Strymon Flint is $299 and bigger. What's $50 to a cork sniffer.
@@oldnikix Flint comes with a free Tremolo pedal
Nothing against the Flint (the only Strymon Pedal that I liked), but the Flint has two Springs and a Plate, this has 6 Reverb Engines plus Presets.
@@Calle565 Wiith a crazy interface, like the D1
Great!
Thanks!
Walrus Audio vs Neunaber inmerse??
Neil!
Young!
Anyone else think that the form factor of this Walrus Audio mako pedal series was "borrowed" from Chase Bliss?
Wouldn't really matter if it was. It's just a form factor.
Inspired by? Maybe.

NO
This v specular Tempus ?
One day I'm going to buy a Specular but this R1 looks tempting...but the Mercury7 has been earmarked!
How much pedal ?
Anyone know how he gets the video effect at 1:54?
the swell thing comes from the knob "swell". The glitchy thing comes from the RFRCT algorythm.
Let me get my Broom...
This or the Ventris?!
That's where I'm at right now. Been taking my time trying to decide on a Ventris and this shows up. Tough decision for sure!
@@fourwinds6943 what did you go for ?
👊 🎭
from 3:00 on audio is out of phase

It has spring reverb so it can definitely do surf rock

Or check out the surfy bear reverb

Spring reverb is super bad... sorry but it does not sound like a spring tank AT ALL! The rest of algos sound ok~ I think. Not bad.
