Walrus Fundamental Drive — Full Demo & Review

All the guitar tones you hear in the opening jam were run through the Walrus Audio Fundamental Drive. This pedal has been living on my pedalboard for a couple years now, and for good reason.

Not only is it incredibly versatile, it sounds fantastic — and it comes in at under $100, which makes it one of the best value overdrive pedals out there.

In this video I walk through the pedal, explain the controls, and demo the three clipping modes:

• Smooth – classic soft clipping with smooth breakup
• Crunch – thicker gain with added bite and low-end boost
• Bright – tighter low end and extra clarity

If you're looking for a single overdrive pedal that can cover a wide range of tones, the Fundamental Drive might be exactly what you need.
