The Slöer brings typical controls for Decay, Depth, and Combine, together with Filter to regulate high-end response. There’s additionally a three-way swap to pick Extensive, Medium, and Slim vary, whereas a dial accesses 5 reverb modes; Dream permits the pedal’s Maintain swap to latch onto the reverb be aware (till the swap is pressed once more), Gentle feels like a celestial refrain above the be aware, Rain introduces echo, Rise brings a swell to the notes, and Darkish drops a mellifluous hum an octave under the melody.

The slider swap labeled “X” is a multifunctional management/pre-set; in Darkish mode, it pre-sets the extent of the decrease octave, provides vibrato to Dream, controls delay in Rain, and will increase shimmer in Gentle mode. At decrease settings, the Slöer excels at delicate tonal flavors which are beguiling and elusive.

With as much as three presets and 5 wave shapes (Sine, Warp, Sink, Sq., and Random) for every algorithm accessed with the bypass swap, the Walrus Audio Slöer goes past the boundaries of normal reverb.
