Walrus Audio’s The Melee: Wall of Noise uses a joystick to meld reverb and distortion into one pedal. With the flip of the order switch, guitarists can run the distortion into the reverb or reverb into distortion — the signal chain is up to them. The Melee can run one of three different reverb programs: ambient, octave and reverse. Walrus intentionally decided on controls that are fun to use and will inspire a wealth of creative output. Players can use the joystick to control the amount of distortion by moving it up and down. Moving the joystick left and right will adjust their reverb mix. The tone and decay toggles have low, medium and high settings. Modulation can be added to the wet signal by holding down the bypass switch and moving the decay toggle. The left position is no modulation, the middle is a slight modulation and the right is a high modulation.
