Full details
The Walrus Audio Eons Five-State Fuzz in Black is designed for guitarists seeking extreme tonal versatility in a fuzz pedal. It offers the unique ability to dial in a wide spectrum of fuzz sounds, from smooth and compressed to aggressive and gated, controlled by its Voltage and Mode knobs. A key caveat is that it requires an external isolated 9V power supply, which is not included. This pedal features five distinct clipping modes and adjustable voltage control for highly customized fuzz textures.

FAQs
Does the Walrus Audio Eons come with a power supply?
No, the Walrus Audio Eons Five-State Fuzz requires an external isolated 9V DC power supply, which is sold separately.
What is the difference between the five clipping modes?
The five modes utilize different types of clipping (silicon, germanium, LED) to shape the fuzz sound. Each offers a unique tonal character, ranging from smooth and vintage to bright and aggressive.
How does the Voltage knob affect the sound?
The Voltage knob controls the internal voltage supplied to the fuzz circuit. Lower settings can result in a thinner, more compressed, and 'gated' fuzz, while higher settings provide a fuller, more open, and higher-gain fuzz sound.
Is this pedal suitable for bass guitar?
While primarily designed for guitar, many bassists find success using fuzz pedals. The Eons' versatility allows for experimentation, but it's recommended to test it with your specific bass rig to determine compatibility.
What does 'true bypass' mean for this pedal?
True bypass means that when the pedal is disengaged, it completely removes itself from your signal path. This prevents any tonal coloration or signal degradation when the effect is not active.
Can I use a standard 9V adapter?
It is strongly recommended to use an isolated 9V DC power supply. Using a standard, un-isolated adapter may introduce noise or potentially damage the pedal.
Troubleshooting
Pedal is not producing sound.
Ensure the pedal is powered on with a correctly connected isolated 9V DC power supply. Check that instrument cables are securely plugged into the input and output jacks and your amplifier.
Excessive noise or hum.
Verify that you are using an isolated 9V DC power supply. Other power supplies can introduce noise. Try a different power supply to rule out an issue with the current one. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
Fuzz sound is weak or thin.
Adjust the Voltage knob to a higher setting and experiment with different clipping modes. Ensure the pedal is receiving sufficient power.
Fuzz sounds are too harsh or gated unexpectedly.
Lower the Voltage knob setting. Try different clipping modes, as some modes naturally produce more aggressive or gated tones than others.
