Hey there, it’s me, Andy. In this review, I’m going to introduce you to an exciting new pedal, the Walrus Audio Fable Granular Soundscape Generator

As a musician and avid gear enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for unique and innovative tools to add to my setup. And let me tell you, the Fable definitely fits the bill. It’s a granular delay pedal that features five different custom programs, each with its own set of sonic possibilities.

But what really sets the Fable apart is its dual feedback path, developed by DSP engineers at Walrus Audio. With two DSP chips, the signal is run through two separate effects in series (independently controlled by the Feedback and Regen Knobs), then the signals are run back through both DSP chips again before going through the output. This creates an incredible range of sounds, from smooth, flowing ambience to chaotic, glitchy swarms.

The five custom programs include Reverse Delay into Reverse Granular, Forward Delay into Octave Up Granular, Analog Delay into Octave Down Granular, Multi-Tap Granular into Multi-Tap Granular (Grain-Verb), and Forward Delay into Randomized Pitch Granular. And the momentary features for adjusting modulation speed and time warping effect only add to the pedal’s versatility.

Not only is the Fable an impressive piece of gear, but it also looks great. The slate gray enclosure is adorned with white, black, cream, red, and orange ink with art by David Hüttner. And at 3.62” x 4.79” x 2.25” including knobs, it’s the perfect size for any pedalboard.

Overall, I’m blown away by the Fable Granular Soundscape Generator. It’s an incredibly powerful tool for any musician looking to add some unique textures and sounds to their music. And if you don’t believe me, just watch the video and hear it for yourself.
