Walrus Audio Melee

The Walrus Audio Melee is far from your standard reverb or distortion pedal—it's a bold fusion of both, wielded through a joystick that puts massive sonic sculpting at your fingertips. Designed for players who crave experimentation and thick, immersive textures, the Melee combines saturated distortion and sprawling reverb in a single box of chaos and beauty.

At the heart of the pedal is a joystick that adjusts distortion (up/down) and reverb mix (left/right), inviting intuitive sound exploration. An order toggle lets you choose whether distortion hits reverb or vice versa, drastically affecting the response and tone. The Melee includes three rich reverb algorithms: ambient for cinematic trails, octave down for deep, brooding atmosphere, and reverse for ghostly, swelling pads. Each mode unlocks new moods, and you can add modulation and manipulate decay for even more spatial manipulation.

With onboard momentary and latching sustain features, the Melee makes it easy to generate extended pad-like textures. Whether you’re aiming for walls of shoegaze fuzz, shimmering post-rock ambiance, or experimental soundscapes, the Melee is a truly expressive instrument in itself—built for pushing sonic boundaries, not following rules.
