Walrus Audio SLOER Stereo Ambient Reverb User Manual

1. Giriş

The Walrus Audio SLOER Stereo Ambient Reverb builds upon the popular Slö lineup, introducing enhanced features for creating immersive and expansive soundscapes. This pedal offers two additional reverb algorithms, comprehensive stereo width control, two new modulation wave shapes, and the ability to manipulate the sample rate for unique textural effects. With its versatile controls and three onboard preset slots, the SLOER allows musicians to craft lush, modulated, sleepy, and ambient tones with unprecedented depth and width.

2. Temel Özellikler

• Five distinct Reverb Algorithms: Dark (Lower Octave), Rise (Ambient Swell), Dream (Latching Pad), Rain (Delay Tap Diffusion), and Light (High Octave Shimmer).
• Five selectable Modulation Wave Shapes for the reverb trail.
• Three onboard Preset Slots for saving and recalling your favorite settings.
• Adjustable Stereo Width control (Wide, Medium, Narrow).
• Unique 'Stretch' sliders for sample rate manipulation and textural effects.
• Durable Die Cast Enclosure.
• True Bypass switching.

Kontroller:

• ÇÜRÜME Düğmesi: Controls the length of the reverb trail. Turn clockwise for longer, more expansive decays.
• FİLTRE Düğmesi: Adjusts the tone of the reverb. Turn clockwise for a brighter reverb sound, counter-clockwise for a darker, warmer tone.
• DERİNLİK Ayar Düğmesi: Controls the intensity or amount of modulation applied to the reverb trail.
• KARIŞTIRMA Düğmesi: Blends the wet (effected) signal with the dry (unaffected) signal. Fully counter-clockwise is dry signal only, fully clockwise is wet signal only.
• WIDTH Toggle Switch: Selects the stereo image width: Geniş for a broad stereo field, Orta for a balanced spread, and Dar for a more focused, almost mono-like output.
• STRETCH Sliders: These two sliders allow for manipulation of the reverb's texture and decay characteristics, potentially affecting sample rate or granular aspects of the sound. Experiment to discover unique ambient textures.
• MODE Rotary Dial: Selects between the five distinct reverb algorithms. This dial also serves a secondary function for selecting modulation wave shapes.
• BYPASS Ayak Pedalı: Toggles the effect on and off. The associated LED indicates the pedal's active status.
• SUSTAIN Footswitch: Engages a momentary or latching sustain function, allowing the reverb trail to hold indefinitely for ambient pads. The associated LED indicates the sustain status.
• PRESET LED: Indicates the currently active preset.

4. Kurulum

Follow these steps to set up your Walrus Audio SLOER pedal:

1. Güç Bağlantısı: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (center-negative, 300mA minimum) to the power input jack on the rear of the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets these specifications to prevent damage.
2. Giriş Bağlantısı: Connect your instrument (e.g., guitar) or the output of a preceding pedal to the IN MONO (L) jack for mono input. For stereo input, connect the left channel to IN MONO (L) and the right channel to IN STEREO (R).
3. Çıkış Bağlantısı: Connect the OUT MONO (L) jack to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain for mono output. For stereo output, connect the left channel to OUT MONO (L) and the right channel to OUT STEREO (R).
4. Atama: Place the pedal on a stable surface or integrate it into your pedalboard.

5. Kullanım Talimatları

5.1. Reverb Modes

The MODE rotary dial allows you to select from five distinct reverb algorithms:

• Karanlık: Adds a lower octave to the reverb trail, creating a deep, ominous atmosphere.
• Yükselmek: Produces an ambient swell effect, where the reverb fades in gradually, perfect for cinematic textures.
• Rüya: A latching pad mode that sustains the reverb indefinitely, allowing for continuous ambient drones.
• Yağmur: Utilizes a delay tap diffusion technique to create a unique, scattered, and evolving reverb sound.
• Işık: Introduces a high octave shimmer to the reverb, adding bright, ethereal harmonics.

5.2. Modulation Wave Shapes

The MODE rotary dial also has a secondary function for selecting five different wave shapes for the modulation applied to the reverb trail. To access these, typically you would hold down a footswitch (e.g., Bypass) while turning the MODE dial. Refer to the quick start guide for the exact combination. The wave shapes influence the character of the modulation, from smooth and undulating to choppy and erratic.

5.3. Ön ayarlar

The SLOER features three onboard preset slots to save and recall your favorite settings:

• Bir Ön Ayarı Kaydetme: To save your current settings to a preset slot, simultaneously press and hold down both the BYPASS and SUSTAIN footswitches until the PRESET LED blinks, indicating the save is complete. The pedal will save to the next available slot or overwrite the current one depending on the specific firmware.
• Ön Ayarların Geri Çağrılması: To scroll through and recall saved presets, simultaneously press and release both the BYPASS and SUSTAIN footswitches. The PRESET LED will change to indicate the active preset.

5.4. Sustain Function

The SUSTAIN footswitch offers dynamic control over the reverb trail:

• Momentary Sustain: Press and hold the SUSTAIN footswitch to momentarily latch the reverb trail. Release to return to normal decay.
• Latching Sustain: A quick tap of the SUSTAIN footswitch can engage a latching sustain, keeping the reverb trail active until tapped again.

6. Bakım

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Walrus Audio SLOER pedal:

• Temizlik: Pedalların dış yüzeyini temizlemek için yumuşak, kuru bir bez kullanın. Aşındırıcı temizleyicilerden veya çözücülerden kaçının.
• Depolamak: Pedalı serin, kuru ve doğrudan güneş ışığından ve aşırı sıcaklıklardan uzak bir yerde saklayın.
• Güç: Always use the specified 9V DC center-negative power supply. Disconnect power when not in use for extended periods.
• Krikolar: Keep input and output jacks free of dust and debris.

7. Sorun Giderme

If you encounter issues with your SLOER pedal, consider the following:

• Ses Yok:
  • Tüm kablo bağlantılarını kontrol edin (cihaz, amp(kaldırıcı, güç).
  • Güç kaynağının doğru şekilde bağlandığından ve doğru voltaj sağladığından emin olun.tage (9V DC) and polarity (center-negative).
  • Verify the pedal is engaged (Bypass LED is on).
  • Check the MIX knob; if it's fully counter-clockwise, you will only hear the dry signal.
• Beklenmedik Gürültü/Uğultu:
  • Ensure you are using a regulated power supply designed for guitar pedals.
  • Kablo arızalarını kontrol edin.
  • Test the pedal in a different power outlet or location to rule out electrical interference.
• Yanıt Vermeyen Kontroller:
  • Disconnect and reconnect power to reset the pedal.
  • Ensure no debris is obstructing the knobs or switches.
