For Eons, man has thought the sound of thunder to be

from the heavens above, echoing boastfully over us as


we stay safe from its greatness. However, legend tells of
a stoic and indomitable beast residing in the highest
mountains seen and heard only by the most brash of
travelers. With gnarled and twisted horns, this creature
emits a sound thicker than Earth’s crust to command
attention and warn all who stand in his way. This is Eons.

*The use of an isolated power supply is


9 volt DC, Center Neg.
POWER STUFF 100mA min*
recommended for powering all Walrus Audio Pedals.
Daisy chain power supplies are not recommended.

VOLUME
The “Vol” knob sets the overall output
volume of the pedal. The “Voltage” and
“Gain” controls are very interactive with
the overall output volume of the pedal,
so there is plenty of volume on tap to
compensate.

VOLTAGE
The “Voltage” knob allows you to adjust the circuit’s
operating voltage. At its minimum, the main fuzz
section of the circuit will operate at around 3
volts, resulting in a “dying battery” sound. At its
maximum, the main fuzz section of the circuit will
operate at around 18 volts, resulting in a more open
and less compressed sound with added bass.

As you cut the voltage, the pedal will begin to


produce a starved sound and have a brighter
frequency response. As you approach noon
on the “Voltage” control, the pedal will begin
to have a gating effect. Lower voltages will also
drastically reduce the output volume of the
pedal. This knob behaves slightly differently
across all the different modes.
GAIN
The “Gain” knob sets the
amount of gain applied to
your guitar signal passing
through the fuzz circuit. This
parameter is also highly interactive
with the “Voltage” knob. Pushing more
gain through the pedal at lower voltage settings
will result in grittier and dirtier sounds. Lower gain
settings at lower voltages will result in very starved
sounds. It can even cause the signal to cut out
completely at lower extremes, so adjust to taste!

BASS
The “Bass” knob allows you to cut or boost low
frequencies after the fuzz circuit. This can be
helpful for tightening up the low end or
increasing the low frequency emphasis. Starting
at noon, turn down to remove bass and turn up
to add bass.

TREBLE
The “Treble” knob allows you to increase
clarity in the high frequency region or tame
them depending on your amplifier and rig.
Like the bass control, you may find that
at higher gains you will want to add more
treble, and at lower gains you may
want to roll the treble back. Starting
at noon, turn down to cut out
highs and turn up to allow
more highs.

MODE SWITCH
The “Mode” switch is a five-position rotary
switch. Each position offers a different
combination of frequency response and clipping
style employed by the pedal. You can think of
each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal.
Each position is described in more detail below.
MODE SWITCH CONTINUED
I. Silicon soft clipping traditional fuzz that’s well rounded with a
huge sound; compressed and smooth.

II. Silicon clipping with an added bass boost that increases the low
end at the beginning of the circuit; compressed and crunchy.

III. Germanium soft clipping with a feel of “what if


a distortion and fuzz had a kid?”; crunchy
and dynamic.

IV. LED clipping diodes with a slight high-end


cut; dynamically dark.

V. Hard clipping silicon transistors combined with


LED and Silicon soft clipping diodes. The rowdiest
of the modes with tons of gain: compressed, loud,
and angry.

Note: Since the Mode switch is changing the internal gain and
clipping style, the other controls will behave slightly differently as
well. There is an internal gain change to help even out the output
level difference between the different clipping modes, but you may
still need to use the volume knob to adjust the overall output up or
down depending on which mode is selected. The Voltage knob also
heavily interacts with the volume and gain of the pedal, so you may
need to compensate by adjusting the “Gain“ or “Volume” knobs as
well to achieve your desired sound.
