- Walrus Audio Ages (stab: Darkglass Alpha Omicron)
- Five state overdrive designed to stack with other drives or a dirty amp
- Five way rotary knob lets you select different gain mode and clipping options
- Low-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Compressed and smooth.
- Low-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Pushed, open, and sparkly.
- High-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Increased saturation and tight.
- High-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Saturated, punchy and big.
- High-gain mode with symmetric silicon hard clipping. Heavy compression, thick and chewy.
- Low-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Compressed and smooth.
- Boost/cut bass control comes before the overdrive stage
- Blend knob dials in some of your clean tone, which means this can stack beautifully with other overdrive pedals or into a broken up amp.

- Reverb will no longer sell new, mint condition, or b-stock fulltone.
- You can still sell your used fulltone pedal. The seller fees Reverb earns will be donated to a racial justice organization.
- Spraypaint your Fulltone pedals black and send them to us and we'll reshare!
- Many thanks to our Patreon supporters!
