    The R1 MKII is an extremely powerful and versatile multi-function reverb that can go from intimate, small-room type subtle reverbs to huge, experimental euphoria. With six distinct programs based on fan-favorite reverb sounds that have been built from the ground up, players of all styles and genres will be able to find eternal inspiration with the R1.

     

    Walrus Audio Mako Series MKII: R1 High-Fidelity Reverb Pedal Features:

    • All six programs rebuilt and revamped for vast tonal improvement
    • New Ducking/Swelling feature
    • Size Control for each program
    • Diffuse Control for each program
    • Feedback EQ Control
    • 128 on-board presets accessible via the menu
    • Menu screen for simple navigation and adjustments for secondary controls

     

    Program Controls

    Each program can be fully customized to your taste and playing style with the left encoder knob for features like modulation rate, ducking, and more. Refer to the manual for program specific features.

     

    The R1 MKII includes a unique Ducking/Swelling control that modifies the reverb's behavior. Higher settings increase the swelling effect, making it more prominent, while lower settings enhance the ducking effect, helping to maintain a clear and focused mix.

     

    The Right encoder knob adjusts parameters like reverb EQ and room size. See the manual for details.

     

    Programs

    • Spring: The Spring program emulates an excited spring reverb commonly found in tube amps with loads of transducing drip. Easily go from subtle to full-on surf rock. Experiment with the decay knob to get more than average amounts of reverb not found in traditional amp spring reverb tanks.
    • Hall: The Hall program provides the acoustics of large live sound spaces like concert halls to arenas. Longer decays result in a massive wash of ambiance.
    • Plate: The Plate program emulates a smooth analog plate reverb with nice even diffusion for the classic plate sound that you know and love.
    • BFR: BFR is a no holds barred, big, f____, reverb. This is more than a giant arena reverb. It's a hall-esque reverb with rich and lush decay in a vast cavern filled with choirs of angels.
    • Refract: The RFRCT program allows for lovely, charming, and glitch-like textures hovering over a controllable amount of diffusion. The Rate controls on RFRCT set how often new grains trigger, while Depth controls the amount of modulation applied to the grains. The Time control sets the delay time of the grains, and the size control sets the size of the grains being pulled from the buffer. The diffuse control allows you to take the grains from super dry and stuttery to washed out in a reverb mix.
    • Air: The Air program offers a larger diffused reverb with a shimmer, as well as a distinct clarity to its decay. Adjust the shimmer control to really lean into that high-octave sound that ambient style artists have come to love over the decades. Explore slow-building complimentary sounds that don’t get in the way of your playing.

     

    Presets

    The R1 can save up to 128 onboard presets, which can be held in a preset bank made accessible by tapping down on the bottom left and bottom middle knobs simultaneously. Presets 0-9 are divided into Banks A, B, and C. Select a bank while in the preset menu. Bank A will cycle through presets 0-2, Bank B will cycle through presets 3-5, and Bank C will cycle through presets 6-9. Presets 10-128 can be accessed through manual selection or MIDI.
