Walrus Audio's 385 MKII Overdrive Effects Pedal was inspired by the vintage Bell and Howell projector used by guitarists as an amp. From this inspiration, this dynamic and responsive overdrive was created. The 385 MKII was created with an effective sound that breaks up single-tone control and integrates separate, boost and cut bass and treble so players can get more creative. The pedal is internally running at 18v, which helps us nail the same dynamic feel of the amp in a stomp box. This means it is extremely sensitive to how hard you dig in – just like the amp.

Controls:
Bypass: Soft touch, relay true-bypass. Press the switch to engage/disengage the pedal. LED indicates wether the circuit is engaged or not.

A/B: Soft touch switch. Press to swap between using either A (White) or B (Red) Volume and Gain controls. LED indicates which controls are being used - White for A, Red for B.

Volume A: Controls the overall volume in the A setting. Turn clockwise for more volume, counter-clockwise for less volume.

Gain A: Controls the overall gain in the A setting. Turn clockwise for more gain, counterclockwise for less gain.

Volume B: Controls the overall volume in the B setting. Turn clockwise for more volume, counter-clockwise for less volume.

Gain B: Controls the overall gain in the B setting. Turn clockwise for more gain, counterclockwise for less gain.

Treble: Used to adjust the level of the treble frequencies. Turn clockwise to increase the level of the treble frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the level of the treble frequencies.

Bass: Used to adjust the level of the bass frequencies. Turn clockwise to increase the level of the bass frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the level of the bass frequencies.

385+ Switch: When the switch is down, you are able to achieve classic 385 sounds. Flip the switch up to add an additional gain stage to the input of the pedal, achieving heavier gain sounds and driving the pedal harder.
