Walrus Audio adds three presets to SLÖ reverb with SLÖTVA

Walrus Audio has unveiled the SLÖTVA Multi-Texture Reverb, an update of its SLÖ reverb pedal that adds the ability to save three presets, MusicRadar reported on May 5, 2022. Guitar World had reported the pedal earlier, on January 11, 2022, at $229.

The SLÖTVA builds on the exact same platform as the SLÖ, with the same triple-algorithm design. A toggle switch selects Dark, Rise and Dream reverb algorithms, which MusicRadar describes as manipulated with decay, filter and mix controls. Guitar World, citing Walrus Audio, says Dark accesses the lower octave, while Rise and Dream aim to tap into ambient swells and latching pad sounds. The toggle's secondary function changes modulation waveshapes between Sine, Warp and Sink, with depth controls. The X control changes function depending on the selected algorithm; Guitar World lists setting vibrato levels and the time it takes for a note to swell among its duties.

Presets are created, tweaked and saved via the Bypass and Sustain footswitches, and recalled by pressing both switches at once, according to Guitar World. MusicRadar says saving is carried out by pressing the bypass and sustain switches. The pedal offers trails/no trails switching for natural fade-out or abrupt switching between settings. Guitar World says the Bypass offers a fade-out effect when the switch is temporarily held, and the Sustain holds long decay trails.

Both describe the pedal as available now.

The SLÖTVA is a reverb pedal. The original SLÖ was announced in April 2019 at $199, with the same Dark, Rise and Dream modes and Sine, Warp and Sink waveshapes, according to Guitar World².
