Colt and Jason from Walrus climbed Mt. Everest (Mt. Scott, Oklahoma - 2,464 ft) in search of inspiration to create the Messner Overdrive. The ascension almost took their lives but the unwavering mission for beautiful clipping kept them moving. At the top, they found transparency and clarity; a pure environment very reminiscent of the sound characteristics of the Messner Overdrive.
In 1978, Reinhold Messner was the first man to ascend Mt. Everest without the use of supplementary oxygen. The summit of Everest; where the air is pure, transparent, and crystal clear. Walrus is capturing that very environment and recreating it inside a transparent overdrive pedal.
