Walrus Audio Mako Series M1 MKII: High-Fidelity Modulation Machine

The Ultimate Modulation Powerhouse

The Walrus Audio Mako Series M1 MKII is a stereo, all-in-one modulation machine that covers all the classic and experimental modulation tones any sound explorer could dream of. Whether you want the lush choruses of the ’80s, dynamic phasers, rhythmic tremolos, or lo-fi, warbly textures, the M1 MKII delivers with six meticulously crafted algorithms. It’s a playground for guitarists who want their sound to stand out in both subtle and wild ways.

Key Features:

• Six Studio-Grade Modulation Algorithms: The M1 MKII features Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo, Vibrato, Rotary, and Filter, each with multiple program types and full customization. From classic tones to modern experiments, the M1 has you covered.
• Built-In Lo-Fi Control: Take your modulation back in time with the lo-fi knob, offering everything from analog drive to warbly noise and vintage filters. Whether you’re after pristine modulation or something with a vintage, degraded vibe, the M1 lets you control it all.
• Total BPM & Preset Control: Set your precise tempo with BPM readouts for Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo, and Vibrato programs. Store up to 128 presets onboard and access even more through MIDI, perfect for live performers needing quick changes.
• Enhanced Rotary & Filter Programs: The revamped Rotary and Filter programs offer even more depth and control, from dynamic, spinning Leslie effects to envelope-following filters that add texture and movement to your sound.

Modulation Programs:

• Chorus: Choose from subtle, traditional chorus to lush, dimensional tri-chorus, or engage a vintage-style flanger for sweeping textures.
• Phaser: Dial in classic ’70s phaser sounds with 2-stage, 4-stage, and Uni-Vibe-inspired modes. Add complexity and motion to your playing with the power of phasing.
• Tremolo: Choose between smooth optical tremolo, harmonic tremolo for vintage warmth, or step into rhythmic, sequenced pulsing patterns for dynamic tremolo effects.
• Vibrato: Bring detuned warble to your tone with traditional vibrato, vinyl-like RPM controls, or nostalgic tape-style wow and flutter.
• Rotary: Emulate the rich, watery swirl of a Leslie speaker with multiple mic placements and spinning options. Fine-tune the drum and horn speeds for an authentic rotary feel.
• Filter: Add dynamic movement to your signal with lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filter modes. Perfect for sweeping, funky tones or dynamic envelope-follower effects.

Lo-Fi Controls:

• Envelope: Open the tone based on how hard you play, perfect for dynamic interaction.
• Drive: Add crunchy, analog-style overdrive for warm, saturated tones.
• Space: Blend reverb into your modulation for a sense of depth and ambience.
• Age: Simulate the frequency limitations of vintage gear, going from subtle to full-on AM radio degradation.
• Noise: Inject lo-fi analog-inspired noise for a vintage, dusty vibe.
• Warble: Manipulate the main LFO wave shape for unpredictable modulation movement, adding a warped, quirky character to your sound.
