Key Features
Trade in your Walrus Audio Vanguard Dual Phase with Gear4music. If you've enjoyed its rich, dual-phase modulation but are now ready to experiment with new effects or streamline your setup, this could be the perfect time for a change. The Vanguard is excellent for creating complex, swirling sounds, but you might be interested in exploring other modulation effects or a simpler phaser with different tonal options.
Consider trying a chorus or flanger for a fresh take on modulation, or a more straightforward phaser with unique features. Trading in your pedal can help you discover new sounds and keep your rig evolving.
Product Ref: 310566
This professional phaser pedal includes three selectable modes to shape the series phaser, sending your signal through a single 10-stage phaser with the option to pass through a second phaser. The second phaser, found on the second row of rotary controls, offers three different phaser voicings including a 10-stage phaser with regeneration, 4-stage with pitch bend, and 6-stage with filter for a distinctive tone.
The Vanguard gives you eight controls in total, and will take the attention away from any other pedal on your pedalboard. With its full host of control options, the Vanguard is very easy to use. On the topside of the Vanguard, players can run one input, two outputs, expression control, and a Remote input to use an auxiliary momentary switch to both switch the pedal on/off and/or save presets. The Remote input requires a TRS cable to be used (sold separately) and the expression pedal control works with expression pedals on the market. The expression pedal feature allows the user to set the high and low parameters for any control and then fade between those settings by moving your foot up or down on the expression pedal.
With its roadworthy design and top mounted jacks, the Vanguard can be placed alongside similar units, maximising the space on a crowded pedalboard. Its durable chassis features original artwork of two patrol men on horseback in a post-apocalyptic world, and represents being stuck between two phases: humanity’s past and humanity’s future.
"Vanguard is an imaginative modulation effect whose complex and compelling sounds should delight sonic spelunkers. You could spend many hours with the pedal and still make cool discoveries." Premier Guitar
