#reverbpedals #walrusaudio
The Walrus Audio Slö is one of the most beloved ambient reverb pedals. And it just got even better: this is the new Slötva which is the Slö but it can also save presets. Let's check it out in today's video. Enjoy Gear Corner!

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? Yes it is. Companies are asked to pay for the time I invest in making a video. My opinion and all creative decisions are mine and only mine. (I update this line for every video).

Wow! I'm a studio owner and so most of the YouTube channels I subscribe to have decent audio....but I stumbled upon your channel and through my expensive studio monitors, it felt like everything got WAY more expensive and high definition!!!! From the guitar tones, and exotic low end to the absolutely incredible voice over tone, clarity and warmth....wow! I'm just blown away....and I'm aguitar player, so I gotta tell you tones are just amazing! You've got yourself a new subscriber, and I guarantee that I'll be coming here often just to re-calibrate my ears as to how good YouTube audio can actually get...even with the encoding compression!

[johnbuxton]

It's good that most of the products you review are ones that you really like as your genuine enthusiasm is enjoyable and entertaining to listen to. It's a fact that we all play better with products we like.

[mboezi]

What a great demo, thank you! Just got one and this will help me get my presets gig-ready quickly!

[stephen]

Just ordered one - thanks for your explanation how to use it! Can’t wait to see how I incorporate it in to my sound.

[Michel_Canada]

Great review, and done in a very musical way. Congratulations!

[lordohnehelm]

Super nice and easy to understand video! Thx mate

[geraldhenrickson]

VERY nice review. i subbed immediately. I am glad I found you this fine sunny day in SLC, Utah!

[LeksiBauer]

Great demo Kris - probably will use 1 or 2 of your settings. And of course, your playing is great, as usual

[ronniejarvis]

What an incredibly cool pedal. I’m definitely picking one up

[agatzebluz]

Hello Kris. Nice playing as usual. at 5:00, it was like a David Lynch soundtrack, loved it. And happy new year to you and the family.

[mdmusic]

Kris your intro Song and all your playing are amazing and I think you are in the best moment of your YouTube videos performances ever!!!Congratulations!!!
This reverb sounds fantastic but the use of the Wampler Pantheon Deluxe is killer!
I bought mine because of your video inspiring me and it was probably one of the best overdrive pedal ever purchased!
Thanks for your honest reviews and your awesome playing in every video!🔥🎸

[oo]

I thought you were about to play Floods by Pantera like 3 times lol. Great demo

[naiort]

Love your videos, they have a great look and feel, can you please tell me what you use for filming and editing, thanks

[thebluntandonly]

Great video, Just got this one one today to play on a DSL40, I wanted something to pair with Oceans 11 and. I got a herizon devices distortion but I dont know if it really will do what I want with this amp, been having a hard time dialing in a good tone for metal but the clean tones between the two pedals I use, this one and Oceans 11 are awesome

[stanislavmigra]

Walrus Audio modulation/space effects are just magical. Did they released something even sweater? Hot damn ...

[Barryer]

Great pedal—not as big as other Ambient pedals, which is a big plus for me. I had a Keeley Caverns V2, which was great, but too many knobs for me, too big on the board. I use an Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master to keep things simple (I use it for lap steel mostly). I would consider a Slötva though—smallish and not too many knobs!

[Truthasvictim]

Great, getting seduced by your presentation, and the pedal itself! Easy to see buying this and their forthcoming M1 Multi-function Modulation Machine too. I love how pedal companies are putting more and more functions that are easily accessible and expanding their sonic ranges by adding little swtiches or having the footswitches do more than one thing.

[andybungert]

Gah, this thing is killer, and a few presets in a pedal with this form factor is always welcome! Only reason I wouldn't get it is the 5 sources of reverb I have on a (ridiculous and fun) board right now plus a couple others. A mix of the traditional and big swirly ones.

[JoaoSilva-xsdz]

Great demo, and great sound. What pickups are you using? Is this the tele that you upgraded with mojotone? I think you should consider leaving a note somewhere with a list of the gear used in each video. I don't know what amp you were playing, but it sounded epic. Cheers from a former work colleague, from the PT team. :)

I am looking to get a new reverb for lush ambient tones, not sure which to pick yet. I currently have an EHX Canyon and really like a few of the settings but want something more versatile. I like the Walrus Audio Slö or Slötvå, but also like the Earthquaker Devices Dispatch Master, Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run, Wampler Ethereal Ambient Delay & Reverb, Walrus Audio Fathom, Source Audio Collider, etc. And now there is the Line 6 DL4 Mkii. It's overwhelming to figure out which to choose!
