After the Ages Overdrive and the Eras Distortion, we would be lying if we said that we didn’t see this one coming: the multi-mode fuzz Walrus Audio Eons.
Built on the same form factor of the aforementioned pedals, and therefore featuring 5 modes, the Eons is born to do all sorts of fuzzy things.
The modes don’t reference any specific circuit, but give the player a well-rounded sonic foundation.
- Silicon clipping traditional fuzz that’s well rounded with a huge sound; compressed and smooth.
- Silicon clipping with an added bass boost that boosts the low end at the beginning of the circuit; compressed and crunchy.
- Germanium clipping with a feel of “what if a distortion and fuzz had a kid?”; crunchy and dynamic.
- LED clipping diodes with a slight high-end cut; dynamically dark.
- Hard clipping silicon transistors combined with LED and Silicon soft clipping diodes. The rowdiest of the modes with tons of gain: compressed, loud, and angry.
Starting from these basic “flavors,” the fuzz sound can then be altered using the other five knobs, which include Volume, Gain, Bass, Treble and – last but not least – the Voltage knob, indicated by a lightening blog icon. This allows for fuzz tones from the massive to the sputtering (gated-style) by varying the amount of voltage fed into the circuit from 3v to 18v.

Walrus Audio Eons, Builder’s Notes
Eons is a five-state fuzz capable of massively thick sounds ready to test the limits of any amp’s grill cloth. Use the Voltage (lightning bolt) knob to crank up to 18 volts into the pedal’s circuit for massive, open fuzz sounds, or choose to starve it down to 3 volts for spatty, gated fuzz.
For Eons, man has thought the sound of thunder to be from the heavens above, echoing boastfully over us as we stay safe from its greatness. However, legend tells of a stoic and indomitable beast residing in the highest mountains seen and heard only by the most brash of travelers. With gnarled and twisted horns, this creature emits a sound thicker than Earth’s crust to command attention and warn all who stand in his way. This is Eons.

Use the Voltage (lightning bolt) knob to crank up to 18 volts into the pedal’s circuit for massive, open fuzz sounds, or choose to starve it down to 3 volts for spatty, gated fuzz. Experiment with the Voltage and Mode knobs for nearly endless styles of fuzz tones. Find vintage-inspired sounds emanating from the stages of Woodstock to chaotic three-chord punk rock. Eons is ready for a fight.
The Eons features a five-position rotary knob that offers the following clipping configurations. Think of them as different “flavors” of the pedal:
I. Silicon clipping traditional fuzz that’s well rounded with a huge sound; compressed and smooth.
II. Silicon clipping with an added bass boost that boosts the low end at the beginning of the circuit; compressed and crunchy.
III. Germanium clipping with a feel of “what if a distortion and fuzz had a kid?”; crunchy and dynamic.
IV. LED clipping diodes with a slight high-end cut; dynamically dark.
V. Hard clipping silicon transistors combined with LED and Silicon soft clipping diodes. The rowdiest of the modes with tons of gain: compressed, loud, and angry.
