Revamped with input from users and artists everywhere, version 3 of the popular Walrus Audio Deep Six now features a Tone control (bass cut) to keep your signal squeaky clean through all states of compression ? from funk scratching to total obliteration. The Deep Six V3 is a studio-grade compressor in a convenient pedal form factor, inspired by the performance of a classic FET leveling amplifier and the simplicity of much-loved vintage compression stompboxes. Fitted with Level, Sustain, Attack, Tone, and Blend knobs, the Deep Six V3 offers tremendous versatility for any incoming pickup signal: active, passive, humbucking, or single-coil. Updated artwork from designer Adam Forster gives version 3 of the Deep Six added visual punch.

Walrus Audio: The Sounds In Our Heads


Ready for all your electric guitars





The Deep Six’s Attack control lets you optimize compression for either low- or high-output instruments, while its Blend knob is perfect for mixing in a portion of the uncompressed signal for a more natural sound. Polarity never becomes an issue, thanks to its onboard polarity correction circuit. And for maximum headroom and battery life, internal voltage is doubled to 18 volts while maintaining a typical 8.9mA current draw. Guitarists at Sweetwater have put Walrus Audio’s Deep Six V3 to the test and the verdict is: we love it! And we’re confident you will too, especially with the addition of the Tone control.





Walrus Audio: built by tone tweakers for tone tweakers





The artists, musicians, and engineers at Walrus Audio take pleasure in chasing sounds that inspire, like the perfect breakup of an overdrive, a beautifully thick distortion, an endlessly sustaining reverb, and a self-oscillating delay. Simply put, these guys love to play with sound. They design stompboxes that re-create the sonic textures that they hear in their heads. Built by tone tweakers for tone tweakers, Walrus Audio’s guitar pedals are as versatile as they are functional. Complete with eye-grabbing graphics, Walrus Audio’s pedals are the perfect tools for guitarists who want to sculpt their own unique sounds.
