While multi-effects units continue to grow in popularity and capabilities, at the shop we are all still dedicated "pedalboard guys." The range of choices and options in individual effects is simply too attractive to pass up. As well as the ability change your mind, or assemble multiple boards for special purposes. 

But assembling a pedalboard can be choice overload, and can also get pretty expensive. The Walrus Audio Fundamental Series of effects are a great starting point (or destination) for putting together a reliable, high-quality effects setup. Then Fundamental Series covers all the "core" effects that anybody could want, and all are priced at just $99. Great for starting a new board, or where you need "that sound" for certain songs but don't want to spend big bucks. All Fundamental pedals run on 9VDC tip-negative power, and are designed and assembled by Walrus Audio in Oklahoma.

In the words of Walrus Audio on their Fundamental Fuzz pedal:

The Fundamental Fuzz is a three-mode aggressive fuzz pedal with a wide tonal range. It can live anywhere in your chain: hit it with your favorite overdrive or push it into another crazy distortion.

Gain – The Gain slider sets the amount of gain applied to your guitar signal passing through the fuzz circuit.

Tone – The Tone slider controls the signal's frequency response after distortion. Left of center cuts highs and right of center cuts lows.

Volume – The Volume slider sets the overall output volume of the pedal.

Slide Switch – The slide switch allows you to change between three distinct different flavors of the pedal. Each position has different clipping modes or tone profiles.

Gate - Lowers bias voltage in the main fuzz section, creating a gated and starved sound. Note: Changing the bias lowers the overall level of the pedal compared to the other modes. With plenty of gain on tap, use the Volume slider to compensate.      Classic - Screaming fuzz with an iconic mid scoop, give you a compressed and crunchy sound. Mid+ -  Adds mid boost to flatten out the tone stage, resulting in a compressed but rich and full sound.
