Walrus Audio has many very exciting and fine-sounding effect pedals in their portfolio. For the NAMM 2019, they expand the lineup with Lillian, a new analog multi-stage phaser pedal in a pilot design.

From the first sound demo, I can say that Lillian sounds very good and versatile. From subtle to big phasing sounds, everything is possible.

Overview

Strap into the co-pilot seat and join Lillian on a sonic journey. Leaving nothing behind but clean, puffy white trails of whirling, pulsating and whooshing analog Phase effect. Viewers from below admire in a trance as it transforms the air into a unique and mesmerizing moment. The Lillian is a true bypass, all analog, multi-stage Phaser drawing inspiration from her cousin Julia. With controls like Rate, Width, Feedback, and D-P-V blend, the Lillian is packed with a wide array of analog phaser goodness waiting to be dialed in. The “Stages” switch allows the user to select 4 or 6 stages which alters the overall voice of the effect from warm and tight phasing with 4 stages to a more complex filtered sound with 6. The D-P-V knob lets you blend between dry, phase shifted, and vibrato sounds allowing for a wide range of control over the intensity and type of effect. Top mounted input, output, and power jacks as well as soft switch relay bypassing make the Lillian fit well on your board and ensure smooth operation for years to come.

Borrowed from the Julia, the unique blend between Dry, Chorus and Vibrato has also been provided on the Lillian. Blend between Dry, Phase Shifted, and Vibrato (labeled d-p-v on the pedal). The Dry-Phase-Vibrato blend changes the ratio of dry to wet signal sent to the output. At minimum, you will hear no effect. Set it to noon for equal parts dry and wet – the traditional Phaser setting. Set it to maximum for 100% wet resulting in pitch vibrato. Explore the ground between minimum and noon for adding slight amounts of movement to your dry signal. Explore the ground between noon and maximum for all sorts of unheard phase/vibrato combinations.
