Steeped in the legacy of pure tone, the Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive pedal captures the essence of a bygone era, invoking the characteristic sound and response of vintage film projector audio circuits turned guitar amplifiers. It's a nod to those innovative guitarists who discovered the golden tones hidden within the tube-powered audio sections of old film projectors, most notably the Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound.

The Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound wasn't just a projector; for discerning ears, it was a tonal treasure chest. When transformed into a guitar amp, its dual 6V6 output section revealed a spectrum of sounds ranging from transparent clarity to richly compressed overdrive when pushed to the limit.

Inspired by these iconic tones, Walrus Audio's 385 Overdrive pedal is engineered to encapsulate that very amp-like responsiveness and tube-like dynamism. Through extensive research and reverence for the vintage Bell and Howell 385, Walrus designed this pedal as a contemporary homage. Its user-friendly controls remain true to the original's ethos, but with a modern touch. While the original amp had bass and treble stacked behind a singular tone control, the 385 Overdrive offers separate bass and treble controls, granting players the flexibility to sculpt mids with more precision.

But it isn't just about capturing a sound; it's about capturing a feel. Internally powered at 18v, the 385 Overdrive pedal flawlessly mirrors the dynamic sensitivity of its amplifier counterpart. Just like its inspiration, the pedal responds intuitively to playing intensity, ensuring that tone and touch remain intrinsically intertwined.

For those seeking the authentic, dynamic overdrive of vintage units, the Walrus Audio 385 delivers, reflecting its rich lineage with modern precision and versatility.

  • Based on '50s Bell and Howell 385 Projector Unit
  • EQ Expanded from OG Unit for Better Tonal Control
  • Tube-y, Amp-Like Response to Picking Dynamics
  • Standard 2.1mm 9V DC Operation
  • Internal Voltage Multiplier for Increased Dynamics and Headroom

This book is great!
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for a friend and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such a fun book! I’m definitely going to be borrowing it from her to make some of the recipes. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes don’t look overly complicated.

A Book I Wish I Had Back Then
Format: Paperback
This is EXACTLY the sort of book I wish I had available to me when I was ready to leave home. I was filled with all sorts of braggadocio and I knew everything I needed to get out the door..............and then was introduced to the 'school of hard knocks' From discovering how to budget and manage your money, to learning how to cook and eat healthy food, to figuring out how to start a career, this book has something to teach even the most well rounded youngster. These aren't in-depth discussions about every aspect of how to live your life, but these ARE a great starting point and with the knowledge provided here, and a little bit of common sense, you can survive early adulthood and move towards a more fulfilling life. Life is a series of learned events, usually set it motion through observing the people we respect, but not everyone can be everywhere at once and this book can and does fill in a bit of this and a bit of that, often inspiring a conversation that will provide more opportunities to share life lessons and avoid some of the bumps and bruises life has to offer. As a grandparent watching his oldest grandsons get ready to leave the nest, I found this book to be a helpful way to share my experiences in a way that goes well beyond "because I said so" and reaches into the 'how' and the 'why', even explaining the reasoning, all without seeming to meddle in their affairs. Unlike childhood where you can stomp your feet, declare 'that's not fair' and receive an immediate 'do-over', real life doesn't offer that and it's best to be prepared for what life is going to bring you. This book does that.
