Create a landscape of distorted textures with Walrus Audio's Janus. This tremolo/fuzz pedal features dual joysticks that give you fine continuous control over both effects. The Trem joystick controls the rate and depth of the tremolo effect, while the Fuzz joystick controls the amount and tone of the fuzz. You can use the tremolo and fuzz individually or combine them into a powerful sonic groundswell with individual volume controls for each effect. A 3-way switch toggles between different clipping diodes, giving you an assortment of fuzz tones. Beyond that, a Blend control allows you to mix your dry signal with the effected fuzz signal. The Janus is great for guitars, vocals, keyboards, and more.

Dual joysticks offer fine continuous control





The Janus features innovative dual joystick controls. Each joystick has a separate X and Y axis that manipulates a different parameter of your tremolo or fuzz effect.





Tremolo





Left to right adjusts the depth of the tremolo effect, with left being the minimum depth and right being the maximum depth. Down to up adjusts the rate of the tremolo effect, with down being the minimum rate and up being the maximum rate. There's also a pink LED indicator for the tremolo rate.





Fuzz





Left to right adjusts the amount of gain, with left being the minimum amount of fuzz and right being the maximum amount of fuzz. Down and up adjusts the tone of the fuzz effect, with down resulting in more bass and up resulting in more treble.

The artists, musicians, and engineers at Walrus Audio take pleasure in chasing sounds that inspire, like the perfect breakup of an overdrive, a beautifully thick distortion, an endlessly sustaining reverb, and a self-oscillating delay. Simply put, these guys love to play with sound. They design stompboxes that re-create the sonic textures that they hear in their heads. Built by tone tweakers for tone tweakers, Walrus Audio’s guitar pedals are as versatile as they are functional.
