Walrus Audio SLOER Stereo Ambient Reverb Effects Pedal Blue

The Walrus Audio Slöer Stereo Ambient Reverb builds on the popular Slö lineup but adds two additional reverb algorithms, stereo width control, two additional modulation wave shapes, and the ability to control the sample rate. Now you can create immersive, lush, modulated, sleepy, and ambient soundscapes with more width and depth than ever before.

Save your favorite dreamscapes with three onboard presets by simultaneously pressing and holding down on the bypass and sustain switches. Scroll through them by simultaneously pressing and releasing bypass and sustain.

The five-way rotary dial allows five different reverb modes—the three you know and love from the Slö: Dark (Lower Octave), Rise (Ambient Swell), and Dream (Latching Pad); and the addition of two new modes: Rain (Delay Tap Diffusion) and Light (High Octave Shimmer). Secondary functions on the dial change between five different wave shapes for modulation on the reverb trail.

Combine deep modulation, long washy trails, and an immersive stereo field to experience Slöer.

Algorithms

Dark: Add a lower octave to your reverb trail. Here you’ll create deep and wide atmospheric sounds and channel nightmarish soundscapes. X knob sets the level of a -1 octave signal that feeds the reverb.

Rise: This is an auto-swell reverb for beautiful cinematic swells. Don’t rush it. Let it breathe and gently wake up. X knob sets the amount of time it takes the reverb to swell in after a note is played. Set lower for shorter rise times and higher for longer rise times.

Dream: Lush reverb with a latching pad function. Press the sustain switch to latch signal. Experiment with the X knob to add vibrato over the pad. Press sustain again and the pad will decrescendo according to where the decay knob is set. X knob sets the depth of vibrato applied to the reverb trail.

Rain: Tappy and trippy, this program creates a unique effect with lower levels of diffusion, allowing the reverb delay taps to audible create an echo-like effect within your reverb. Use the Xcontrol to set the amount of diffusion of the delay taps.

Light: Bright and smooth reverb with an octave-up shimmer. Create a range of ethereal sounds with the X slider. Keep it low for a smooth pad-like reverb or push it higher for a bright shimmer effect.

The Slöer also features five different wave shapes accessible by holding down bypass while switching the algorithm dial.

Sine: Smooth and even pitch up and down modulation.
Warp: Asymmetric pitch up modulation like a warped record.
Sink: Asymmetric pitch down modulation for sinking detune like a Bigsby.
Square: Symmetric pitch up and down modulation for stepped modulation.
Random: Uses sample and hold that picks new random values.
