Polychrome Analog Flanger from Walrus Audio

Polychrome Analog Flanger from Walrus Audio – New

Brand new from Walrus Audio comes the Polychrome Analog Flanger. Like all their effects, this pedal is very musical and inspires ideas on first listen. From classic “ain’t talk ’bout love” flange tones to next-level, hybrid modulations, you’re gonna find a rainbow of fruit flavors inside this magical box.

The operation is fairly intuitive to get started. The top three controls, Rate, Depth and Sweep, operate like most flange pedals you’ve seen. Feedback controls the amount of wash. Dial in those colorful flange sounds with the D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato) blend knob and the shape and voice switches. The Shape Switch lets you select from sine, triangle, or random LFO wave to modulate the delay line.The Voice Switch lets you select between two voices for the flanging effect.

This pedal is trending heavy right now for good reason. There’s tons of territory to explore here with amazing, high-quality audio. It’s another solid offering from Walrus.

What follows is from the Walrus Audio website:

“Like the Iguana that’s malleable to its environment, blending into its surroundings for harmonious balance or standing out with vibrant confidence, the Polychrome Flanger is a uniquely colorful tool for adding modulated textures to songs.

The Polychrome is a true bypass, analog Flanger pulling in familiar layout controls from the Julia and Lillian. Dial in a wealth of colorful flange with the D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato) blend knob and the shape and voice switches.

The Shape Switch lets you select from sine, triangle, or random LFO wave to modulate the delay line.

The Voice Switch lets you select between two voices for the flanging effect. In the down position, the flanger is more traditional and full frequency. In the up position, you get a more complex and notched flange effect with less low end.

Like the other members of the Walrus Audio modulation family, the Polychrome has a blend knob. The D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato) knob lets you blend the dry and delayed signal from full dry at minimum (no effect), to traditional flange at noon to full pitch vibrato at maximum. Don’t sleep on the vibrato sounds in the Polychrome. Set the D-F-V knob to maximum, feedback to a minimum, and the voice switch up for some unique pitch vibrato.  

Top-mounted input, output, and power jacks as well as soft switch relay bypassing make the Polychrome fit well on your board and ensure smooth operation for years to come. “
