Walrus Audio EONS - The Fuzz That Does it All

  • In today's video, I am looking at the fantastic EON Fuzz from Walrus Audio.
    This five-mode variable voltage fuss can do it all from tight distortion tones to full-on spitty vintage fuzz tones.
    This pedal has 5 different modes.
    I. Silicon soft clipping traditional fuzz that’s well rounded with a
    huge sound; compressed and smooth.
    II. Silicon clipping with an added bass boost that increases the low
    end at the beginning of the circuit; compressed and crunchy.
    III. Germanium soft clipping with a feel of “what if
    a distortion and fuzz had a kid?”; crunchy
    and dynamic.
    IV. LED clipping diodes with a slight high-end
    cut; dynamically dark.
    V. Hard clipping silicon transistors combined with
    LED and Silicon soft clipping diodes. The rowdiest
    of the modes with tons of gain: compressed, loud,
    and angry.
    I was lucky enough to be sent this unit from Walrus audio for review, even though this is a sponsored video, Walrus audio has not told me what to say the thoughts are my own and my thoughts are this pedal is it's fantastic.
    The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

    All the sounds in this video are incredible. You have sold me the pedal, and the subscription... I want a fuzz but I am not very extreme-fuzz fan, but this pedal fusions very well fuzz and distortion, and it seems you are using marshall classic style amp, and the base sound is similar to my base sound (Victory Sheriff). Just the intro is an amazing 10 seconds pedal-seller.

      this or the Jam pedals Eureka, i dont get along w fuzz either, but love that one, there is a review here too. this one sounds a bit more like a distortion pedal, while the eureka def sounds fuzzish, but seems to blend great w other pedals. i think this may not have a real silicone transistor, where the other does.

    @markferguson3745 4 місяці тому

    It's a solid fuzz, covering a lot of ground through most of what's out there.Germanium is always my first choice, though the clearest competitor I have for this is the FunctionFX Clusterfuzz, which doesn't have a Ge stage at all.There's def correlation between specific, common high gain Ge components and their Silicon counterparts.The only bad thing about Germanium is the lack of stability with temperature fluctuations.(Which can truly be a headache.)
    Lack of touch sensitivity and dynamics is very common with traditional Big Muff style circuits, and most of us that are older can remember when the options were very limited, - basically BM variants, Fuzz Faces( usually very inconsistent, great or terrible) , Tone Benders( rare and expensive), and Super Fuzz variants.It wasn't until Fulltone came along that most even got a glimpse of the potential.

    Really cool demo of this pedal. One of the best demos right now but what I missing in every demo which is quite important for a Fuzz (...at least for me) is how does this pedal clean up with the guitar volume pot? Is it sparkly clean or just nasty and broken?

  • @bastianmaoro8278
    @bastianmaoro8278 Рік тому

    The best and most versatile fuzz for me it's the KMA Dead Stag (better than the Chief Disruptor, that thing can do Desert stuff to Pink Floyd and Chainsaw as a boost), and maybe, a alternative for some that "doens't like Fuzz boxes" is the Warp Drive by Stone Deaf FX or the DOD Carcosa (now, if you like Fuzz boxes, on a budget).
    Yes, with the Walrus Eons we need to see more (if this can Chainsaw too, if this can do desert dry kinda rock good, and maybe as I saw: YES, but anyone tested yet to try to show it). At first sight it's the most versatile kinda different classics voiced fuzz, but not the most versatile fuzzy box that can enter in many realms of music.
