As REAL as the real thing? Walrus Audio Mako ACS1 Review

There is a place for modelers.... they are light, convenient and usually cheaper than a real amp with effects and mics etc. However, they don't sound like a real amp... there is always something off about them... let's see how close the ACS1 from Walrus Audio gets!

All things aside, Hanna's performance is beyond words.

[austinspringfieldmusic]

This might possibly be the best review/comparison video that has ever been put on YouTube. The mic’d sound is ultimately what you’re going to hear in a live setting or studio so making that comparison with the pedal was a job well done.

[OddMusician]

Can't wait for the Iridium vs ACS1 comparison vid!!

[kootab]

Opening song is GLORIOUS!!! Great vocals and guitar!!! Lets hear more of you two working together!!!!

[ofsoundmind]

I was on the fence about ordering one until the comparison at the end. I ordered it based on that alone. Very impressed! Great video as always!🤘

[JMal]

Was originally gonna say love the fretless bass, then Hanna’s vocals kicked in. Wow! It got better from there seriously great playing and production Henning. You two really need to record an album, sorry I’m old school.

[tokingreens]

Great to see you demo a this pedal in the context of a song...Your playing, tone and phrasing were sweet! Thanks.

[mark]

Ordered! An excellent review!! Top Man.

[wookie]

Loved the solo Henning, the lady has a great voice.

[CountJayeAndTheHardBeats]

This song / production of "Fly" sound better than your ones before. Whatever you're doing, it works. Cheers!

[normandjones]

Hanna, a dream voice singing such a beautiful song, great arrangement and guitar licks Henning :)))

[EverythingGuitar]

Beautiful song Henning! Really lovely ethic behind the text/lyrics. I have one very reluctant criticism which is that at 3:25 it is a shame that the lead guitar and vocals balance is odd: is it a backing vocal, or is it a guitar solo? If the latter then the vocal simply doesn't go there. Or perhaps edit & extend the section so you have that particular vocal and then the guitar solo. But well done, superb song!
Incidentally, Dartford is one huge traffic jam for 16 hours a day.
All the best, Dale Harris

You are the critic that I respect the most and I can't wait for your review on the DSM & HUMBOLDT SIMPLIFIER.

[juanfabremiranda]

How long has Sansamp GT2 been proposing a similar solution (around 1992)? Great video.

[YousefAHMusic]

48:19 - You sir, have earned my respect and subscription. By default I don't trust guitar YouTubers because the majority don't disclose their paid advertisement videos, oh sorry, "reviews." (cough GearGods cough).
And thank you for the metal test that you did! That's exactly what I wanted to know about this pedal - does it do metal?

[EasyHeat]

Ok. I’m definitely onboard with this concept.
Give me a pedal however, that can run an AC30 and Marshall 900 (or Dual Rect) in stereo panned parallel?!
“There goes my hero”
Love you Henning!
Stay safe & well.

[franciscovaldes]

Sos un capo total! Haces tremendos videos ! Saludos desde argentina!

[The_Absurdistt]

Wow, great performance and review! So Henning, is it safe to say you like the ACS1 more than the Two Notes Cab M+ ? Inquiring mind want to know....

[hlyangel]

Hanna and Henning you two wrote a beautiful song! Encore!
