The next pedal in our “Walrus Week”, which features the three newest pedals from our pals at Walrus Audio, is a phaser. Now, we LOVE phasers, and modulation in general, here at Pedal of the Day, and were super-stoked when we saw the announcement about the Lillian Multi-Stage Analog Phaser. This gorgeous-sounding, pulsating, whirling effect boasts differing phase stage selection, a unique Blend knob and intense, vibrato-like tone when set just right. If your are a fan of this genre of effect, this pedal is gonna be right up your alley.
Rate sets the speed of the phaser’s LFO sweep, while Width controls the frequency range that the filters sweep through. Turned down, this knob produces a subtler, less dramatic effect; crank it up, and you’ve got a wide range, full of more defined phaser tones. The Feedback knob determines how much of the phase signal gets sent back through the filter stages, going from traditional phaser sounds to more resonate filter tones.
The D-P-V knob, as seen on Walrus’ famous Julia Chorus/Vibrato pedal, gives you the option of a unique blend between your Dry signal, the Phase Shifted signal and the Vibrato. At noon, the blend of wet and dry is 50/50; use the left half to experiment with slight amounts of the effect in your signal, and set fully clockwise for wild pitch vibrato tones. The 4/6 toggle lets you select 4 or 6-stage phasing as well, with each mode altering the overall voice and sound of the Lillian pedal.
Inspired by the thrilling story of a female pilot, Lillian Yonally, who traversed dangerous skies as a member of the W.A.S.P. program during WWII, the Lillian Phaser is mesmerizing, ambitious and intense all at once, and adds a great flavor to any rig. Armed with Walrus’ high level of quality and craftsmanship, this blue beauty is ready to take flight, and send your tone soaring into the stratosphere. Another one knocked out of the park by Colt and the team, we’re loving this “Walrus Week” and all of the great gear we get to check out. Don’t forget about the demo below, and be sure to come back for tomorrow’s last new pedal in their lineup….now go fly those friendly skies!
