Description

Elevate your guitar's dynamics with the Walrus Audio Deep Six Limited Edition compressor pedal, a masterful blend of vintage charm and modern precision. Inspired by the iconic FET leveling amplifiers and revered classic compression stompboxes, the Deep Six offers a studio-grade compressor housed in a pedalboard-friendly design. Whether you're playing with active or passive pickups, humbuckers, or single-coils, this pedal ensures your sound remains lush and articulate.

The Deep Six features intuitive Level, Sustain, Attack, and Blend controls, providing you with a versatile palette to shape your tone. The Blend knob is particularly noteworthy, allowing you to mix uncompressed signals for a more natural output. With an internal voltage boost to 18 volts, it delivers ample headroom while maintaining a modest power draw. Plus, the onboard polarity correction circuit ensures seamless integration with your existing setup.

This Limited Edition not only sounds incredible but also looks the part, with eye-catching vintage-style graphics that make it a standout on any pedalboard. Whether you're chasing the perfect sustain or looking to fine-tune your dynamics, the Deep Six is a reliable companion for any guitarist looking to explore new sonic territories.

Key Features:

  • Studio-grade compression in a compact pedal
  • Controls: Level, Sustain, Attack, and Blend
  • Doubled internal voltage to 18 volts for increased headroom
  • Onboard polarity correction circuit
  • Vintage-inspired graphics in a robust die-cast enclosure
  • Power requirements: 9VDC (100mA minimum), isolated power supply recommended

Features and functionality

  • The pedal enhances clean tones by adding a noticeable "pop" to the D and G strings and cutting harsh highs on a Telecaster.

    Source

    Source
  • The pedal is appreciated for its tone-shaping capabilities, making it the only Walrus Audio pedal owned by some users due to its versatility and effectiveness.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • It's considered a great "utility" pedal with potential as an always-on effect, particularly effective with an OCD pedal.

    Source
  • Owners frequently use the Deep Six as an always-on pedal, except when using fuzz or distortion pedals, to enhance clean tones and boost clarity.

    Source
  • Ideal for ambient music due to its ability to sustain notes and balance dynamics, but less suited for blues or rock where amp drive via harder playing is desired.

    Source

Comparisons

  • While some are tempted by the Xotic SP compressor due to its price, they find satisfaction in the Deep Six, especially with discounts.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Price is a significant factor for some users when choosing between the Deep Six and other compressors like the Mira, with the Deep Six being more budget-friendly.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Noise issues often result from incorrect pedal chain positioning; placing the compressor after overdrive/distortion can increase noise, but proper setup resolves this.

    Source
  • Switching from a daisy chain to a Strymon Zuma power supply significantly reduces noise and hum, enhancing the pedal's performance.
