The Walrus Audio Meraki Stereo Analog Delay, previously offered as a Black Friday special, now holds a regular spot in the Walrus Audio line-up of effects, MusicRadar reported on March 28, 20241. The pedal is listed at $59912.
The delay uses eight MN3005 bucket brigade chips and offers up to 1200ms of delay time in parallel, ping-pong and series modes, with independent control of delay time and modulation for the left and right channels31. Walrus Audio describes it as a "true stereo analog delay"3.

The pedal has two footswitches, one for engaging or bypassing the effect and the other for tap tempo or increasing repeats; holding the tap switch ramps the repeats into self-oscillation1. Each channel has its own tap division switch, and there are switches for feedback mode and channel sync31. Walrus Audio says the Meraki is released "in a few small batches throughout each year" because of long part lead times and extra build time3.
