Steeped in the legacy of pure tone, the Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive pedal captures the essence of a bygone era, invoking the characteristic sound and response of vintage film projector audio circuits turned guitar amplifiers. It's a nod to those innovative guitarists who discovered the golden tones hidden within the tube-powered audio sections of old film projectors, most notably the Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound.

The Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound wasn't just a projector; for discerning ears, it was a tonal treasure chest. When transformed into a guitar amp, its dual 6V6 output section revealed a spectrum of sounds ranging from transparent clarity to richly compressed overdrive when pushed to the limit.

Inspired by these iconic tones, Walrus Audio's 385 Overdrive pedal is engineered to encapsulate that very amp-like responsiveness and tube-like dynamism. Through extensive research and reverence for the vintage Bell and Howell 385, Walrus designed this pedal as a contemporary homage. Its user-friendly controls remain true to the original's ethos, but with a modern touch. While the original amp had bass and treble stacked behind a singular tone control, the 385 Overdrive offers separate bass and treble controls, granting players the flexibility to sculpt mids with more precision.

But it isn't just about capturing a sound; it's about capturing a feel. Internally powered at 18v, the 385 Overdrive pedal flawlessly mirrors the dynamic sensitivity of its amplifier counterpart. Just like its inspiration, the pedal responds intuitively to playing intensity, ensuring that tone and touch remain intrinsically intertwined.

For those seeking the authentic, dynamic overdrive of vintage units, the Walrus Audio 385 delivers, reflecting its rich lineage with modern precision and versatility.

  • Based on '50s Bell and Howell 385 Projector Unit
  • EQ Expanded from OG Unit for Better Tonal Control
  • Tube-y, Amp-Like Response to Picking Dynamics
  • Standard 2.1mm 9V DC Operation
  • Internal Voltage Multiplier for Increased Dynamics and Headroom

Sour moist meat
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I had a hankering for jerky and found biltong instead. I didn’t know what made it different, but I was willing to try. I was very surprised how moist it was!! It’s better than the jerky here. If I wanted to gnaw on leather then I’d get my belt instead of paying money for dried meat. I liked that it didn’t have sugar. However , the flavor was confusing. It was mostly sour, like too much vinegar. Other reviewers mentioned that too and I must agree. I’m not sure how it’s suppose to taste but this experience makes me hesitate buying any more.

Rancid, Nasty, biltong shavings
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This Ayoba Biltong has an OK flavour, but the black pepper is excessive. About 20% of the shavings are rancid, which means that every 5 shaving pinch you put in your mouth is practically guaranteed to have a rancid flake. The rancid flakes are bitter. acrid and foul, and this nastiness completely overpowers the biltong flavour, even the excess black pepper taste. I believe the rancidness comes from the white bits of fat attached to the meat, but who wants to sort and clean these biltong bits? DO NOT BUY!!!! FYI - I grew up in Swaziland and Botswana, and ate pounds and pounds of biltong. I even made Biltong while deep in the Okavango Delta.

Excellent flavor and texture to this jerky with no sugar makes it my new favorite
Flavor Name: Traditional, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have recently adopted a low carb, high protein diet combined with weight training, so I'm always looking for new sources of protein. I use protein powder as little as possible, and eat more from natural sources. I have a brand of beef jerky I really like, but traditional beef jerkies have a lot of sugar (10g protein to 6g of sugar). Biltong, however, has more protein per oz (16g) and 0g of carbs or sugar. Simple ingredients, and nothing funky. So a big win on the nutrition front. That is great, but what won me over was the flavor. It has a nice hearty flavor, and has a little wetness to it that makes the texture nice to chew. I have tried another brand of biltong, but I found it too dry for my taste (kinda of like chewing on plastic). So another win on flavor and texture. Pricing is okay. Good beef jerky is not cheap, so you get what you pay for. I would like to buy in bulk, so bigger packages with better discounts would be a good offer I would jump on immediately.
