Recently introduced by Walrus Audio, these two new US-made distortion pedals are no one-trick ponies, as each provides varying flavours of distortion via clipping from silicon diodes, LEDs or both together. However, each takes a different route to dialling it in. The Eras features a five-wayrotary switch to select LED and silicon-based modes, while the Iron Horse has a rotary knob that morphs from silicon to LED, for a continuous range of blends between the two extremes.
These handmade pedals are nicely put together and run from a standard nine-volt power supply.
