Create the soundtrack to your storybook adventure with the Lore Stereo Reverse Soundscape Generator. Made up of five different modes, the Lore is a stereo ambient creation machine built around reverse delay, reverse reverbs, and pitch shifting. Featuring multiple DSP algorithms running in series, with complex nested feedback paths, the Lore takes you on an adventurous journey rich with themes of reversing, time-stretching, pitch-shifting, and vast ambiance.
Once upon a time, in a fairy tale world, there was a hidden forest. On the eve of a full moon, magical, delicate sounds of light bounce and reverberate through the trees. The story goes that these sounds have been told and retold so many times that they come back changed, stretched out, and turned around, full of artifacts of things moving backward through time. These sounds are called the Lore.
The Lore features five modes, each one pairing two effects that feed into each other through separate feedback paths, so the sound keeps developing instead of repeating. Reversed swells, octave shimmer, sustained pads, and pitch delays that sit somewhere between a sequencer and a harmonizer. All of it in stereo, with MIDI, expression, and customizable presets.

- Tweak - One knob, five jobs. Press the Tweak button to cycle through Width, Mod Rate, Mod Shape, Shift, and Ramp, then turn the Tweak knob to set the selected value.
- Width - Sets how far the wet signal spreads out between the left and right channels. Keep it narrow to stay focused, or open it all the way up and let the ambiance wrap around you. Running mono in and stereo out is an easy way to make one guitar sound huge.
- Mod Rate - Sets the rate of the modulation LFO, anywhere between 0.1 Hz and 5 Hz.
- Mod Shape - Selects the shape of the modulation LFO: sine, square, or random. Random is a good time.
- Shift - Sets where Dive / Rise lands, anywhere between 0.5x and 2x. Set it below 1x, and you dive. Set it above 1, and you rise. In Mode IV, the Time knob is already working on the same sample rate, so keep Time and Shift on different values or Dive / Rise will have nothing left to do.
- Ramp - Sets how long Dive / Rise takes to travel between normal speed and your Shift target, from 50 ms to 5000 ms. At 50 ms, it is a near instant jump. At 5000 ms, it is a long, seasick glide.
- Momentary Feature: Dive / Rise - Holding down the tap tempo switch will momentarily shift the clock rate of the pedal down or up and will hold it at that rate for as long as the switch is pressed. Use the Tweak button and knob to adjust Shift and Ramp.
- Presets - Save and recall three presets right on the pedal (red, green, blue), plus a live mode (white) for when you just want to turn knobs. Another 127 presets are available over MIDI. Expression assignments save with each preset.
- MIDI and Expression - MIDI clock controls delay time from 100 ms to 1000 ms in Modes I, II, III, and V, and drives the sample rate stretch in Mode IV. Every knob is available over MIDI CC, along with Mode select, bypass, and tap. Any knob can also be assigned to the expression input, or you can set the jack up as an external tap instead.
- Bypass Modes - Run in Trails to let the reverb and feedback decay die off naturally when you turn the pedal off, or No Trails to cut it off abruptly. The Lore ships in Trails mode. The Lore uses Walrus Audio's proprietary digital processing platform, MDSP. Designed in-house by their talented engineering team, MDSP sets a new benchmark for high-fidelity audio and innovative design, delivering decades of inspiration to creators seeking practical yet forward-thinking gear.
- Bypass: Buffered
- Dimensions: Enclosure measures 4.70" x 3.93" x 2.30" (including knobs).
- I/O: 2x 1/4" Unbalanced Inputs (Stereo Left and Right); 2x 1/4" Unbalanced Outputs (Stereo Left and Right)
- Input Impedance: 1 M ohm
- Output Impedance: 220 ohms
- MIDI: 1/8" TRS MIDI In, Type A; 1/8" TRS MIDI Thru, Type A
- USB-C port for firmware updates
- Power: 9 VDC, center negative, 300mA minimum.
- Recommendation: Use an isolated power source for optimal performance; avoid daisy chains.
- Power supply is sold separately.
- All Walrus Audio products come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
