Walrus Audio ARP-87 Delay Pedal
The Walrus Audio ARP-87 – Compact and Versatile Delay for Boundless Creativity
Four Unique Delay Algorithms for Versatile Tones
The Walrus Audio ARP-87 delivers a wide spectrum of delay sounds, perfect for unlocking your creativity on stage or in the studio. With four distinct delay algorithms, the ARP-87 offers something for every playing style:
- Digital: Pristine, crystal-clear repeats ideal for rhythmic riffs and precise delays.
- Analog: Warm and lush tones that add subtle dimension without overwhelming your sound.
- Lo-Fi: Adjustable, murky, and nostalgic repeats that range from warped warmth to AM radio clarity.
- Slap: Quick slap-back delays perfect for rockabilly licks and chicken pickin' runs.
Flexible Controls and Smart Features
The ARP-87 provides versatile tone-shaping options with its intuitive control layout. The X knob adjusts different parameters based on the selected algorithm—modulation depth for Digital, Analog, and Slap modes, and Filter Width for Lo-Fi mode. Tap Tempo ensures precise delay timing, while the momentary bypass and feedback ramp functions allow you to add dynamic swells or textures on the fly.
Trails Mode for Natural or Instant Cutoff
The ARP-87 includes a Trails Mode for flexible performance control. In Trails Mode, the delay repeats fade out naturally when the pedal is turned off, maintaining a seamless decay. Alternatively, in No Trails Mode, the repeats are immediately cut off when bypassed—ideal for tight transitions. Toggle between modes easily during setup for a tailored experience.
Compact Design with Momentary Effects
The ARP-87’s momentary switch functions open up even more creative possibilities. When the pedal is off, press and hold the bypass switch to temporarily activate the delay, adding texture to specific phrases. When the pedal is on, holding the bypass switch ramps the X parameter to maximum, while holding the tap switch ramps the feedback to maximum for dynamic, expressive swells.
Premium Build and Design
Housed in a durable diecast enclosure with an elegant frosted charcoal finish and artwork by Chris Castro, the ARP-87 exudes quality inside and out. Compact and rugged, this pedal is ready for gigging and touring musicians alike.
