Walrus Jupiter

The turbulent storms that fuel the fifth planet from the sun are a perfect metaphor for this pedal. Colorful, raucous, and beautiful, this pedal has a surprising clarity in the intense distortion it produces. For someone looking for a fuzz pedal with uncommon tonal clarity, look no further than the Jupiter.

HornFX Review

Interface:  3.5/5
This fuzz pedal takes a lot of uncommon manipulability and puts it in a simple and completely sensible package. The bass and mode switches add a lot to the functionality of this pedal without being at all confusing.

Versatility: 3.5/5
There is truly more than expected with this pedal .The various modes and the bass switch add whole new dimensions of tones that are rarely seen in fuzz pedals. We wish it would handle the less saturated and more subtle settings better.

Tonal Reproduction: 3.5/5
While your tone won’t take a beating, there might be a punch or two thrown. This pedal will not present a pristine clear representation of your tone, but it will give you a warm and super fun fuzziness that you can be happy to add to your sound when necessary.

Live application: 4/5
Walrus has put together a fantastic pedal with this one. The tonal variability and the warmth of the fuzz itself would be a wonderful and easy to use addition to your board.

Product Information

The Jupiter is a true bypass fuzz pedal inspired by the desire for gritty, thick and loud fuzz. Fuzz pedals tend to emphasize specific frequency ranges, which is both a positive and negative attribute. The Jupiter’s controls allow you the ability to dial in the right amount of fuzz with the right tonal quality to either stand out in the mix, or ride it out with the drums and rhythm. It includes a Mode switch that changes between three different clipping diode arrangements, providing more options and combinations of fuzz and tone and a Bass cut toggle switch for dialing in low end.
