CONTROLS

Bass - The Bass knob shapes the low end tone stack of the selected amp model. Turn up for a thicker

sound and down to help tame muddy pickups.

Mid - The Mid knob shapes the mid range tone stack of the selected amp model. Try this control
above noon for punchy raw mid range tones and below noon for more classic scooped sounds.

Treb - The Treb knob shapes the high frequency section of the tone stack on the selected amp
model. Turn up for adding sparkle and down for taming harsh pickups.

The tone stack changes with each amp model and is designed such that noon on each knob is a
good starting point.

Vol - The Vol knob controls the overall output level of the pedal. It also controls the volume of the
headphone out.

Gain - The Gain knob controls the amount of gain through the amp “circuit” within each model. The
amount gain and character changes with each amp. The gain knob also affects the overall volume
just like a real amp so you may want to increase the volume knob at lower gain settings.

Room- The Room knob engages a tight room reverb meant to give the impression of your amp being
mic’d up in various size rooms. Turn it all the way down to disengage and turn it up to add a sense of
space to your sound.

A | B | C Cab Switch - The Cab switch lets you select one of six on-board cabinet impulse responses
(IRs) to accompany the selected amp model. The ACS1 ships with six cab IRs carefully captured by
the Walrus team to compliment our amp models. Users are also able to upload their own favorite IRs
to the ACS1 via walrusaudio.io.
