Delicious Audio published an updated article on Oct. 6, 2026 covering the Walrus Audio Mako M1 MkII, listing the features Walrus Audio added to the second version of its "High-Fidelity Modulation Machine"¹. The article describes the pedal as part of the Mako line of stereo, multi-algorithm pedals and says it delivers Phaser, Chorus, Tremolo, Vibrato, Rotary and Filter effects¹.

Walrus Audio describes the M1 MKII as "a stereo, all-in-one modulation pedal featuring six studio-grade programs based on fan-favorite modulation tones: Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo, Vibrato, Rotary, and Filter"². The maker's list of new features includes total BPM control, with tempo selected and read out on the menu screen for the Chorus, Phaser, Tremolo and Vibrato programs; an internal wet/dry mix; a new flanger sound added to the Chorus algorithm; 128 onboard presets; a navigation menu for secondary controls and lo-fi parameters; and revamped Rotary and Filter programs². Delicious Audio's list matches these items and describes the screen as "A brand new LED Screen giving access to a Navigation Menu for adjusting secondary controls and Lofi parameters"¹.

Each of the six programs has three types, selected with the left encoder knob, which also handles effect type, BPM, wave shape and other parameters². In the Chorus program, Type I is a traditional chorus, Type II runs three chorus units in parallel as a tri-chorus, and Type III is a vintage-style flanger². The pedal also has six global lo-fi controls: Env, Drive, Space, Age, Noise and Warble, adjusted with the right encoder knob and blended with the Lo-Fi knob². Presets 0 to 9 are split across Banks A, B and C, and presets 10 to 128 are reached by manual selection or MIDI².

The M1 MKII is priced at $399.99². MusicRadar reported the Mako MkII series as available at launch in September 2024, with the M1 at $399³. Walrus Audio's page for a blemished unit of the pedal, sold at a cosmetic discount, was marked "SOLD OUT"⁴. The article's preset count differs from an older builder's note it also carries, which says the M1 saves up to nine onboard presets with 128 accessible via MIDI¹; MusicRadar reported the MkII ships with 128 onboard presets, up from nine with 128 via MIDI³.
