Walrus Audio Canvas Rehearsal

I needed something for home practice in headphones with the ability to play bluetooth backing tracks, and also with stereo in+out for continuing to the PA. There was also the KMA Endgame in the game, which I wanted more, unfortunately I needed something that could be at the very end of the chain, since I have tremolo and reverb pedals after the Tonex and UAFX Knuckles and I think that the doubler in the Endgame should be right after the drive section, not after the modulations. The pedal is basically a small headphone amp with a handy headphone out mix, a big plus is the ability to connect a Bluetooth device to play backing tracks. The metronome is set up quickly and easily, it works well with a guitar in headphones, the tap tempo button is also nice, and it flashes according to the metronome speed, but what I don't like is the metronome sounds, they could add some wooden click or something more pleasant to the update, or give the option to record your own sound. Someone complained in the reviews that the bluetooth and metronome can only be heard in headphones and do not go further to the unbalanced 1/4 outs. This is not true, with a few clicks you can set whether only the guitar goes to the unbalanced out, or the guitar with an aux/bluetooth backing track or with the metronome as well. People also complained about the bad sound in headphones, the headphone out with an impedance of 16 Ohm works perfectly with my AKG K371 which are 32 Ohm, great sound. In the third firmware update, some functionality was fixed with headphones, but it was fine for me before. The pedal is absolutely fine, but unfortunately the price is absolutely overpriced. The pedal is high quality, easy to use, you can't go wrong and I understand that Walrus, as a prestigious brand, can't suddenly afford to release a cheap pedal, but I think that €150 would be appropriate, considering that it's not a unique drive or unexpected reverb, it's just a metronome with Bluetooth aux and a headphone amp. I've had the pedal for some time and despite the high price I'm satisfied.

L'idée est excellente et il est fou qu'une telle pédale n'ait pas existé avant. Mais le prix est exorbitant ! Je l'ai tout de même commandée car je cherchais vraiment une pédale équivalente. Pour moi les principaux défauts sont le son du métronome et la qualité de la sortie audio. Il y a 3 sons de métronomes et les 3 sont très désagréables à l'oreille. Tout le monde sait que le principal enjeu d'un métronome est de proposer des sons qu'on puisse supporter sur le long terme. Il en existe de très bons (comme le DB90 de boss). Là on dirait du 8 bit qui arrache les oreilles. Très décevant. Pour une pédale dont c'est la fonction principale, on pouvait espérer des sons agréables et au moins une fonction "voix”. Le son de la sortie casque est aussi très moyen. Lorsque je le branche sur la Trio+ que je branche derrière, le son est bien meilleur. Encore une fois, pour ce prix c'est invraissemblable !
Points positifs : le système bluetooth est simple et marche parfaitement. Même chose pour le réglage des différents volumes. La LED blanche qui flash au rythme du métronome est aussi très efficace.

L’idea sarebbe anche buona specie per chi usa una pedalbaord ibrida. ma la realizzazione è approssimativa.
La caratteristica fondamentale dovrebbe essere quella di usare le cuffie o gli in ear monitor per provare. Il problema è che l’uscita cuffie è veramente pessima, distorce il suono della chitarra terribilmente, è a 16ohm e pertanto non consente di usare cuffie da studio serie, quindi nel caso si usasse una 250ohm bisogna mettere in conto di prendere anche un altra cuffia (cosa molto antipatica perché una cuffia non vale l’altra e dopo aver speso una bella cifra per questo pedale non si vorrebbe spendere altro).
Altro lato negativo, il segnale aux viene mescolato solo con l’uscita cuffie. Se si prova a uscire dagli out principali non c’è segnale aux ma solo la chitarra.
Cosi realizzato è praticamente inutile, boss rc-5 e Nux non avranno il Bluetooth, ma possono fare la stessa cosa e molto meglio e costano la metà.
Rispedito a Thomann che è impeccabile e da la possibilità di rendere questi prodotti mal riusciti.
Molto deluso da Walrus
