Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive Pedal

Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive

The Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive is a faithful recreation of the Bell & Howell 385 Filmosound projector's unique audio circuit, which was a favorite among guitarists to convert into an amp. This pedal captures the original's exceptional responsiveness and organic, touch-sensitive tone. It’s built to replicate the twin 6V6 output section of the projector, giving you a warm, dynamic overdrive that cleans up beautifully with your guitar's volume knob.

The 385 Overdrive is crafted to be incredibly responsive to your playing, offering a glassy, full-bodied low-end and a crisp, well-defined top-end. The simple control layout makes it easy to dial in your desired sound, from a mild, transparent boost to a thick, harmonically rich overdrive. This pedal isn't just a simple overdrive; it’s a circuit-based tribute to a piece of audio history, offering a truly unique sonic character.
