This is an interesting one for sure – as this was initially billed as a totally limited one-off release – back in September of last year – with a commitment that only a total of 600 units would be produced. But now the self same circuit is back on general release – in 2 new colourway edition.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This essentially re-uses the Sl\u00f6tv\u00e5 format – but takes in algorithms form the Fable Granular Generator, and Lore Reverse Reverb. Think of it as a best off those 3 essentially. The format and structure is exactly per the Sl\u00f6tv\u00e5 – with those Presets onboard – a little bit new money for old rope – but a decent mono textural reverb. It would have been cooler if they had enabled those ports for TRS Action – and we could have had full stereo. So an interesting Textural Reverb for sure – and perfect for mono rigs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I covered this so well the last time around – that I\u2019m just going to \u2019borrow\u2019 my own words from that time – with possibly just a few edit!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I mentioned – Enclosure \/ Topology-wise – this is essentially a rebooted and updated version of the 3-Presets Walrus Audio Slotv\u00e5 pedal – just with slightly different parameters and algorithms onboard!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Controls – Decay, Filter, Mix, X (Variable), MODE : I. Grain Cloud \/ II. Grain Verb \/ III. Forward Reverse Verb, Ramp \/ Glide Time : I. 10ms \/ II. 1000ms \/ III. 5000ms, Stretch, Bypass Footswitch, Momentary Footswitch, Press Both Together to scroll through 3 onboard Presets.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It channels elements of its Fable, Lore, and Sl\u00f6 \/ Sl\u00f6tv\u00e5 Reverb \/ Ambient pedals – and delivers a Mono TS In-Out experience.<\/p>\n

\"2025-GPX-Walrus-Audio-Lum-700.jpg\" <\/p>\n

There are 3 Modes \/ Algorithms onboard :
\u00a0
Mode I – Grain Cloud : A grain cloud with dual granular taps reading from a feedback delay line. X knob controls the grain size, or how frequently you\u2019ll hear the \u201cglitches\u201d happen. Experiment stacking with other modulated or wet effects on your board to create all-new sounds.
\u00a0
Mode II – Grain Verb : A grain verb with dual granular taps reading from the delay memory of a reverb algorithm tank, which sounds like the grains took a bath in reverb. X knob controls the grain size, or how frequently you\u2019ll hear the \u201cglitches\u201d happen. Tip – L\u00fcm is a treat to put before high-gain pedals in mode two.
\u00a0
Mode III – Forward Reverse Verb : A forward reverb algorithm running into a reverse reverb algorithm. You\u2019ll hear a playful rhythmic interaction between the forward and reverse reverbs. Use the stretch knob to change how fast or slow this interaction is. X knob controls the reverse reverb decay.
\u00a0
And the Ramp Modes are simply variable Glide Times for those Modes – 10ms, 1000ms, and 5000ms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I own the Sl\u00f6tv\u00e5, which tends to get minimal use as most of the spatial effects on my board are full stereo – in fact circa the last 1\/3rd of the board. This means it can be tricky to fit in mono effects – particularly ones that are principally intended for end-of-chain placement!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how the owners of the original 600 will feel here – especially since the ‘Guava’ Edition is prettier than the original, and the Minimal Black Edition is more elegant.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pricing has remained the same – at $279, which seems to render as \u00a3259 in the UK – funny how with the Strymon Timeline MX the price is \u00a320 above the dollar mark! Not sure what that is about.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can read up more about the L\u00fcm on the Walrus Audio Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In any case the L\u00fcm is a pretty decent pedal – particularly if you’re already into the \u00a0Sl\u00f6 \/ Sl\u00f6tv\u00e5, Fable and Lore whence this device gets its algorithms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A little bit of an odd exercise by my way of thinking! But worthwhile indeed if there is still demand for these!<\/p>\n
