Walrus Audio Canvas Volume Pedal

Walrus Audio Canvas Volume – Fully analog VCA volume pedal with contactless position sensing

Fully analog VCA signal path · Contactless sensor (no strings/pots/gears) · 8 tapers · Minimum On · Gain up to +9 dB · Lag up to 2s · Mono/Stereo/Dual Mono · Tuner Out · USB-C firmware

The Walrus Audio Canvas Volume is built for players who rely on a volume pedal as a real performance tool: precise control, true reliability, and flexible routing for nearly any rig. Its core idea is to remove the classic failure points of traditional volume designs — no strings, no pots, no gears. Instead, it uses contactless position sensing and high-quality analog VCAs to deliver smooth, musical volume changes with a fully analog signal path and consistent response night after night.

It’s not just about durability — it’s about feel. A discreet interface under the heel (two buttons and LEDs) lets you dial in four key parameters: Taper, Minimum On, Gain, and Lag. This means you can match the sweep to your playing style, keep swells from disappearing entirely, or even use the pedal as a clean volume boost without altering your tone.

Routing is designed to drop into almost any setup: mono, stereo, or mono to dual mono, plus a dedicated Tuner Out when running a mono rig.
