Walrus Audio Iron Horse High-Gain Distortion

Product Description

The Walrus Audio Iron Horse is a high-gain distortion guitar pedal designed to deliver thick, punchy, and raw tones. It is based on a classic distortion circuit and offers a wide range of sounds, from clear overdrive to aggressive, high-gain distortion. The pedal features true bypass switching and soft-switch bypassing on its top-mounted input and output jacks. The artwork for the Iron Horse was created by David Hüttner, making it a visually striking addition to any pedalboard.
