Described as a "Tone Tweaker's Delight," The Walrus Audio EB-10 is a multifaceted preamp pedal engineered for electric guitar and bass musicians seeking to dial in their EQ and refine their sound. The EB-10 starts with a three-band EQ, controlled by individual knobs for Low, Mid, and Bass. With the flick of the toggle switch, each knob can be set to either Boost or Cut, which gives you a wide range to color the sound. Then, there is an additional dB boost, which pushes the overall signal without affecting the EQ settings.
From there, the EB-10 is loaded with three slots to save presets. This allows you to effortlessly transition between three unique tones during performances or recordings. For anyone who likes to change guitars on stage, these presets can be especially handy to fine-tune the nuances of each guitar without adjusting amp settings.
While the EB-10 functions very nicely as a utility pedal, the built-in boost can drive the amplifier or other pedals harder for heightened saturation and sustain. As you dig into the EB-10 further, it could become a staple of the pedalboard once you explore stacking it with other pedals.
This EB-10 is gently used and functions 100% as it should. It shows some minor scuffs and wear, but it's pretty clean all around. The previous owner installed micro dual lock velcro to the underside. For whatever reason, it came to us with a Walrus Audio box, but it's for a different pedal (Canvas Mono). So while we might not have THE box, we have A box.
