Walrus Audio Deep Six V3

The Deep Six V3 is a refined and highly musical compressor pedal that delivers studio-grade performance in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format. Inspired by the iconic Universal Audio 1176 compressor but simplified for guitarists, it offers intuitive controls for Level, Sustain, Attack, and Blend—making it easy to dial in everything from subtle dynamic enhancement to classic squash and sustain. The newly added Tone knob lets you tailor low-end response, perfect for fine-tuning your compression when switching between pickups or instruments.

Version 3 introduces key upgrades including soft relay bypass switching, SMD construction for increased reliability and sound quality, and top-mounted jacks for better pedalboard integration. With internal voltage doubling to 18V, the Deep Six provides ample headroom and pristine clarity, even with high-output pickups. The Blend control makes it especially versatile, letting you retain your original tone while layering in just the right amount of compression. Whether you're after studio polish or vintage-style snap, the Deep Six V3 offers exceptional control, tone, and feel.
