Walrus Audio Fundamental Series (Hudson Broadcaster) 00:33:08
https://www.walrusaudio.com/collections/fundamental-series

Look out JHS 3 series, WA is coming for ya

Basic, easy to understand effects designed to sound great but be welcoming to new pedal users. “Simplified controls” probably means basic functionality with no bells and whistles but… sliders? Is that easier?

Still made in the US and really affordable. $100-$130 depending

Chorus, fuzz, reverb, overdrive, delay, distortion, phaser, tremolo

How do you decide when to get rid of gear? 00:40:18
