“A wealth of features not seen before in a Klon-style pedal”: Walrus Audio’s Voyager MKII overdrive/preamp takes Centaur stage – equipped with footswitchable parametric mids, it promising “mythical magic” and absolute clarity

Walrus Audio MKII Overdrive/Preamp.

Walrus Audio has refreshed its Klon-inspired Voyager, with MKII expanding on the transparent drive template with a heap of cool tone-shaping features.

There are all kinds of Klon Centaur clones out there in the wild. You can get faithful replicas of the cult overdrive pedal, affordable alternatives to the prohibitively expensive vintage originals. And you can get pedals like this, hugely tweakable, capable of being used as a standard drive pedal or as a preamp pedal, that draws inspiration from the Klon and then runs with it.
