Whenever a pedal brand brings out a high gain pedal, I'm sceptical. It's really hard to make it sound BIG enough to convince heavy players. All I can say about the ERAS, is that Walrus Audio clearly engaged beast mode when designing it, hahaha!

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? The pedal was provided by Walrus Audio for the video, so technically it's a paid production. (I update this line for every video).
