Your
board is under threat from a new type of tonal warfare – it’s time to
up the ante. Enter the DEFCON4 Preamp/EQ/Boost pedal from Walrus Audio,
designed in conjunction with US singer-songwriter Ryan Adams!
A Sonic Deterrent
The DEFCON4 from Walrus Audio & Ryan Adams aims to target your
tonal woes at the source. Offering three powerful functions and a
surprisingly simple interface, it aims to prepare your rig at
ground-level for whatever comes your way.
Triple-Threat
It’s designed to be placed at the start of your chain, providing you
with a tone that’s consistent, dynamic, and ready to strike at a
moment’s notice. It acts as a preamp, enriching your tone and ensuring
it travels onward without losing strength or clarity.
Next up, the 3-band EQ allows you to cut, boost or bypass selected
frequencies for a colourful tonal palette. This makes changing between
single-coils and humbuckers an absolute breeze, and other pedals will
respond well too – no matter how many there are!
Finally, arm the Launch switch and kick it into DEFCON1 – the danger
zone – for a 10db MOSFET boost. This makes your leads sizzle and riffs
snarl like you wouldn’t believe!
Retro Enclosure
From the backlit world map (complete with missile launch patterns) to
the glowing digital grid that covers the interface, the DEFCON4 just
oozes ‘80s cool.
The retro-style three EQ knobs come with an accompanying switch to
bypass the respective frequencies, and the irresistible Launch switch
deserves a safety warning. It even comes in an old-school blister pack -
what’s not to love?
