January 19, 2026 · 2 sources

Walrus Audio announced the Canvas Volume, a powered stereo volume pedal, on January 19, 2026, as reported by Guitar Pedal X¹. The maker describes it as built around a precision position sensor and high-quality VCAs (Voltage Controlled Amplifiers)².

The pedal uses contactless position sensing rather than strings, pots or gears, which the maker says leaves nothing to wear out, get scratchy or fail mid-set². It supports Mono In / Mono Out with a dedicated tuner out, Stereo In / Stereo Out, and Mono In / Dual Mono Out². Controls sit under the heel: two buttons and LED indicators adjust Taper, Min, Gain and Lag². Taper offers the maker's own curve plus seven modeled from other pedals: Lehle, Boss, Dunlop, Ernie Ball VP Jr, Hotone, Hilton and Goodrich². Min sets heel-down level, down to about -90dB at its lowest². Gain runs from unity at 0dB up to +9dB in 3dB steps². Lag ranges from immediate response to a 2-second delay². A Utility Menu handles factory reset, calibration, mono mode selection and firmware updates².

Specifications from the maker²:

Guitar Pedal X lists the price at $300 and calls the 300mA draw somewhat high for a volume pedal, attributing it to the digital controls¹. The report describes the pedal as "somewhat uniquely innovative, but is relatively pricey @ $300"¹. Walrus Audio covers the pedal with its limited lifetime warranty².
