#flanger #walrusaudio
Many of us have been waiting for a Walrus Audio flanger for years. Finally it's here. Can it live up to the expectations though? And can it do more than traditional flanger sounds? (spoiler: yes) Check out the video to find out more.

** 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? Walrus Audio sent over the pedal to try it out, so technically yes, that's paid promotion. (I update this line for every video).
