Walrus 385 Overdrive mkII - Yellow

Walrus Audio 385 MKII Overdrive 

Inspired by the warm, gritty tones of the vintage Bell & Howell Filmosound 385 projector, the 385 MKII Overdrive takes that classic sound and dials it up with modern versatility. Dynamic and tube-like, this overdrive delivers amp-style breakup with touch sensitivity and clarity that makes every note count—whether you’re gently pushing a clean tone or diving into saturated bliss.

The updated MKII version expands the 385’s capabilities with an A/B switch that lets you toggle between two separate sets of volume and gain controls—perfect for switching gears mid-song. Engage the new 385+ switch to slam the circuit with extra gain and unlock rich, harmonically complex distortion.
