Steeped in the legacy of pure tone, the Walrus Audio 385 Overdrive pedal captures the essence of a bygone era, invoking the characteristic sound and response of vintage film projector audio circuits turned guitar amplifiers. It's a nod to those innovative guitarists who discovered the golden tones hidden within the tube-powered audio sections of old film projectors, most notably the Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound.

The Bell and Howell 385 Filmosound wasn't just a projector; for discerning ears, it was a tonal treasure chest. When transformed into a guitar amp, its dual 6V6 output section revealed a spectrum of sounds ranging from transparent clarity to richly compressed overdrive when pushed to the limit.

Inspired by these iconic tones, Walrus Audio's 385 Overdrive pedal is engineered to encapsulate that very amp-like responsiveness and tube-like dynamism. Through extensive research and reverence for the vintage Bell and Howell 385, Walrus designed this pedal as a contemporary homage. Its user-friendly controls remain true to the original's ethos, but with a modern touch. While the original amp had bass and treble stacked behind a singular tone control, the 385 Overdrive offers separate bass and treble controls, granting players the flexibility to sculpt mids with more precision.

But it isn't just about capturing a sound; it's about capturing a feel. Internally powered at 18v, the 385 Overdrive pedal flawlessly mirrors the dynamic sensitivity of its amplifier counterpart. Just like its inspiration, the pedal responds intuitively to playing intensity, ensuring that tone and touch remain intrinsically intertwined.

For those seeking the authentic, dynamic overdrive of vintage units, the Walrus Audio 385 delivers, reflecting its rich lineage with modern precision and versatility.

  • Based on '50s Bell and Howell 385 Projector Unit
  • EQ Expanded from OG Unit for Better Tonal Control
  • Tube-y, Amp-Like Response to Picking Dynamics
  • Standard 2.1mm 9V DC Operation
  • Internal Voltage Multiplier for Increased Dynamics and Headroom

Great!
Size: Small, Color: Black/Heather Gray/White/Nude
Comfy, good fit, good quality cotton and flat seams around the crotch. Normal size small. I wouldn’t wear these with yoga pants, but nice under looser fitting garments. I would buy more colors.

There is a seam up the front. I think perhaps it being seamless would be better.
Size: Medium, Color: Black
Like anything off Amazon I wasnt expecting anything perfect and ready to have to mail it back. Pleasantly surprised by the softness and durability. The waist band isn't to small on a medium so it fits actually so comfy. I wear them as underwear and as shorts for my skirts n dresses. Id recommend but I say size up if you want a comfy fit. But down if you want a fitted fit fit. Comfy still is fitted but better feeling on if that makes sense. Also the crotch of the shorts/undies has essentially extra fabric sewed in creating that nice comfort. Ill snag a photo when I have time.

Product varies from package to package
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
Over a two year period this is my 4th purchase. They started as sleep shorts and have replaced other underwear most of the time because they are comfortable and the quality is pretty good. However there are differences in between every package. The length has varied up to an inch, the material has changed, and some are slightly tighter than others. That said it works for me. I am a side sleeper and sometimes the side seam bothers me.

Very comfortable in the Texas heat.
Size: Small, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
I got some of these as a gift and I loved them so much I purchased two more packs. I just opened my new packs and put them in the washer so I'm not leaving a photo. When I wear them they look exactly like they do on the models. I've been doing a lot of heavy outdoor work in the heat and I get drenched. These underwear have a 100% cotton crotch and the rest is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. When I first saw the wide crotch I didn't think I would like it. But these are soooo comfortable. I'm 4'11" and weight 108-112 and the size small fits loosly but well. I could probably get away with an XS but I like this loose and not too tight fit. I see some folks say these roll up. They don't roll up on me. I think they might roll if they were tight fitting. I have lots of other undergarments like these and some roll and some don't. But none of the others are cotton. They are mostly spandex and since I've found these in cotton that's all I'm wearing until summer is over. I can't feel them or see them under pants or skirts. These look more like shorts than underwear and they have a very nice thickness. Since I only had four pair to begin with, those got washed and dryed a lot. I can't tell if they shrunk since I only tried them after washing. Sorry I forgot to compare the size of the new ones to the older ones before I threw them in the washer. I'll probably buy another set and compare at that time. One thing I can report is that they do not fade at all. I just washed the black, purple and red colors with the white color and the white is still completely white. Now I have more colors and I'll probably be walking around in my underwear and no one will know. The only con I can think of is the wide crotch wouldn't work well with pads with wings, in my opinion. Try a size larger for a nice cool pair of sleeping shorts to see how they fit while they are on sale. Then go smaller if needed. I think you might enjoy these.

So comfortable and worth the buy
Size: Large, Color: Black
So comfortable!!! There is no seam in the butt and under neath, only in the front but it is really soft and non irritating. I got these for post partum but I’m already wearing them at 8.5 months pregnant. They’re probably my favorite undies right now. The length is also perfect and the material is very soft and stretchy. The waist band is the same, soft and stretchy.
