Tired of a bass tone that falls flat? The Walrus Audio Mantle Bass Pre-Amp/DI Pedal might be the solution. Created with bass virtuoso Ian Martin Allison, this studio-grade preamp delivers a rock-solid foundation for your sound. It’s like having a world-class audio engineer on your pedalboard, ready to send a perfectly sculpted bass tone to the front of house that will cut through any mix.
“I am an absolute DI fanatic, owning probably 50+ DIs and preamps. And while they’re all great in specific ways, they all either lack something critical or try to stuff in too many features, making for an underwhelming or even overwhelming user experience! This is exactly why I wanted to make Mantle. I needed this product to exist. I’m thrilled to say that now it does. And it is absolutely killer.” - Ian Martin Allison
A truly great bass tone starts with some serious hardware, and the Mantle definitely brings the brawn. Walrus Audio dedicated over a year to developing proprietary, custom-wound Sapphire transformers, designed to infuse your sound with immense weight and harmonic richness. This pedal captures the iconic punch of vintage studio consoles, giving your fingers a beautifully responsive, almost magnetic canvas to play on.
The Mantle hands you a surgical scalpel for your low-end. Its finely tuned EQ section uses a sophisticated dual-behavior design, helping you carve out the perfect space in any mix. And with deeply satisfying rotary switches, dialing in your signature sound is not just intuitive — it's instantly repeatable, night after night.
A premium preamp is useless if it can't connect to the outside world. That's why the Mantle is built to interface flawlessly with your stage rig and the mixing console simultaneously. It provides elegant solutions for high-output instruments and noisy venues, ensuring the sound engineer loves you as much as the audience does.
The Walrus Audio Mantle is what happens when passionate gear heads refuse to compromise on signal integrity. It takes the guesswork out of getting a massive, mix-ready bass tone, serving as the ultimate always-on foundational tool. Just plug in, dial up the gain, and let the heavy iron do the talking.
