Description
The Slö Multi Texture Reverb allows players to create lush, modulated, sleepy and ambient soundscapes.
Stocked with three different algorithms specifically designed to invoke textures for bringing dreams from your
subconscious to reality.
The toggle switch allows three different reverb modes: Dark (Lower Octave), Rise (Ambient Swell) and Dream
(Latching Pad), while secondary functions on the switch change between different wave shapes for the
modulation on the reverb trail.
Combine deep modulation with long washy trails and experience, the Slö.

ALGORITHMS
Use the toggle switch to select one of three onboard algorithms.
DARK – Add a lower octave to your reverb trail. Here you’ll create deep and wide atmospheric sounds and
channel nightmarish soundscapes. X knob sets the level of a -1 octave signal that feeds the reverb.
RISE – This is an auto-swell reverb for beautiful cinematic swells. Don’t rush it. Let it breathe and gently wake up.
X knob sets the amount of time it takes the reverb to swell in after a note is played. Set lower for shorter rise
times and higher for longer rise times.
DREAM – Here is a lush reverb with a latching pad function. Press the sustain switch to latch signal. Experiment
with the X knob to add vibrato over the pad. Press sustain again and pad will decrescendo according to where
decay knob is set. X knob sets the depth of vibrato applied to the reverb trail.
The Slö also features 3 different wave shapes accessible by holding down bypass while switching the algorithm
toggle.

Modulation Wave Shapes:

• SINE – Smooth and even pitch up and down modulation.
• WARP – Asymmetric pitch up modulation similar to a warped record.
• SINK – Asymmetric pitch down modulation for sinking detune similar to a Bigsby.

MOMENTARY FUNCTIONS
Bypass: Turns the effect on and off. It also features “smart bypass switching”. When the switch is in off position,
press and hold to temporarily activate the effect to add a moment of reverb texture. Releasing the switch turns
the effect off, and fades it out.
Sustain: When pressed, the decay switch ramps up the reverb trail to maximum creating long dreamy reverb
trail and then ramps back down to the decay knob setting when released. In the “Dream” algorithm, the sustain
switch is latching. Press it once to capture and sustain the current reverb decay for extremely long pad-like
sounds. Press it again to let the reverb trail taper off, based on the position of the decay knob.

TRAILS MODE
The Slö can run in trails or no trails mode. In trails mode, when you turn the pedal off, the reverb decay dies off
naturally. In no trails mode, the decay is abruptly cut off when you turn the pedal off. To toggle between either
mode, hold down the bypass switch for 1 second while applying power to the pedal. Unplug power and repeat
to toggle to the other mode.

SPECS
The Slö comes in a Lollipop Blue finish with light blue and off white ink featuring original artwork by Christi Du
Toit. The diecast enclosure’s exact size is 4.77” x 2.6” x 1.39”. Power requirements are 9VDC (100mA minimum).
The use of an isolated power supply is recommended for powering all Walrus Audio Pedals. Daisy chain power
supplies are not recommended. Power supply not included.

DECAY – Adjusts the length of the reverb decay. Go from tight short reverb, at

oundscapes. FILTER – Controls the tone of the reverb decay. Each algorithm includes a
low-pass filter optimized for that unique sound and the knob controls the
specifically filter cutoff frequency. Turn the knob up to open the filter for brighter tones,
dreams from and down to close the filter resulting in a darker tone.

MIX – Turn counter-clockwise for increased dry signal, and clockwise for
more reverb. Use the white line to reference approximate equal parts dry
verb modes, and reverb. Since this point is around 2 o’clock, it gives greater range of
and Dream adjustment of your mix ratio below the 50/50 point making it easier to dial in

apes for the X – The X knob changes jobs depending on which algorithm is selected.
DARK – Sets the level of a -1 octave signal that feeds the reverb.
RISE – Sets the amount of time it takes the reverb to swell in
hy trails and after a note is played. Set lower for shorter rise times and higher
for longer rise times.
DREAM – Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the reverb decay.

DEPTH – Controls the amount of modulation applied to the reverb decay. Go

from no modulation, to nightmare inducing pitch bending at high settings.
Secondary Function: Rate - Controls the speed of the modulation applied to
the reverb decay.

ALGORITHM SWITCH – The toggle switch selects one of three onboard reverb
algorithms. Secondary Function: Wave Shape selection.

MODULATION WAVE SHAPES:

BYPASS – Turns the effect on and off. It also features our smart bypass switching. When
the switch is in off position, press and hold to temporarily activate the effect to add a
moment of reverb texture. Releasing the switch turns the effect off, and fades it out.

SECONDARY FUNCTIONS – To access the secondary functions, with the

pedal engaged, hold down the bypass switch and use the toggle to select
the desired wave shape, and the depth knob to set the desired rate.
The pedal remembers the wave shape and rate settings for the current
algorithm until the next time they are modified. The pedal also maintains
the algorithm and depth setting when modifying secondary functions.
