Walrus Audio Mako ACS1 MKII

Walrus Audio Mako ACS1 MKII is an amplifier and speaker cab simulator delivering the sound and feel of world-class amplifiers, complimentary speaker cabinets, and controllable room size. This is the second version of the pedal with new software and a small display.

With this pedal, you have expansive options to deliver their tone whether it’s on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home. Simple controls, stereo in and out, onboard presets, and MIDI support make the ASC1 an immeasurable tool in a guitarists arsenal.

The ACS1 models six vintage amp styles crucial to music industry history designated by their places of origin (Fender, Marshall, Vox, Peavey, Orange and Mesa Boogie). When running the ACS1 in stereo, one amp can be used through both channels or mix and match amps and cabinets on the left and right channels with the L + R switch. Simply choose the channel you want it to modify, select your amp and cab model, and set your levels. Then flip over to the other channel and choose your amp and cab settings.

If you would like to use the same settings on both channels, set the switch to the middle or “+” and dial in all your settings. They will be duplicated on the left and right outputs.

The ACS1 holds twelve high-quality cabinet impulse responses (IRs). It ships pre-loaded with twelve custom cabinet IRs developed by Walrus Audio that sound great with each amp. Users also have the option to load their own IRs via the new customer web app found here.

Use the ABC Cab toggle switch to select your cab preference. Access the second set of cabs by holding down bypass while changing the cab toggle position.
