Walrus Audio Canvas Volume Pedal vs Telonics

Post by John Larson »

I was browsing some sites looking for synthesizer gear and came across this.
https://www.perfectcircuit.com/walrus-c ... pedal.html
Canvas Volume Pedal Features
Analog signal path, digital control
8 Different taper modes
Customizable minimum volume
Up to +9dB of additional gain
Lag control for up to 2 seconds of control delay enables smooth and loose repsonse when desired
Mono in/mono out, stereo in/stereo out, and mono in/dual mono out options for flexible set-up
The description made me think. Possible budget alternative to the Telonics multi taper?

Looks like Walrus has a little pedal steel demo in the product video

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5

Hmmmmm, this is interesting indeed.... about half the cost of the Telonics...

with that said, I own 2 Telonics VPs, and could be happier with them.... but I will be watching this thread.

Seems like a really nice pedal for the money. The low profile is something I like. The programmable doesn't do much for me>. I would set it up like a normal pot pedal, Goodrich taper, pedal off is off, unity gain, fast response and leave it. So for me the main advantage is form factor and price.

The guy in the video says it operates on a contact less position sensor. Possibly like the Hilton pedal with the infrared technology like a TV remote?
