The 385 MKII Effects Pedal was inspired by the vintage Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound projector that guitarists had previously modified and used as an amp. Walrus Audio's 385 MKII is created with a dynamic and responsive overdrive with the same simple but effective tone control as it’s older relative.

Unlike the projector, the 385 breaks up the single tone control and integrates separate, boost and cut bass and treble. This allows players to get more creative with mid-frequency scoops and bumps for a much wider array of tones to be achieved. The pedal is internally running at 18v, which helps players nail the same dynamic feel of the amp in a stomp box.

Bypass: Soft touch, relay true-bypass. Press the switch to engage/disengage the pedal. LED indicates wether the circuit is engaged or not.

A/B: Soft touch switch. Press to swap between using either A (White) or B (Red) Volume and Gain controls. LED indicates which controls are being used - White for A, Red for B.

Volume A: Controls the overall volume in the A setting. Turn clockwise for more volume, counter-clockwise for less volume.

Gain A: Controls the overall gain in the A setting. Turn clockwise for more gain, counterclockwise for less gain.

Volume B: Controls the overall volume in the B setting. Turn clockwise for more volume, counter-clockwise for less volume.

Gain B: Controls the overall gain in the B setting. Turn clockwise for more gain, counterclockwise for less gain.

Treble: Used to adjust the level of the treble frequencies. Turn clockwise to increase the level of the treble frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the level of the treble frequencies.

Bass: Used to adjust the level of the bass frequencies. Turn clockwise to increase the level of the bass frequencies. Turn counter-clockwise to reduce the level of the bass frequencies.

385+ Switch: When the switch is down, you are able to achieve classic 385 sounds. Flip the switch up to add an additional gain stage to the input of the pedal, achieving heavier gain sounds and driving the pedal harder.
