It’s amazing what varied forms the simple booster pedal can take. While many players just want to goose their amp’s front end in as uncolored a way as possible, many others have discovered that judicious goosing plus a little massaging of the sonic texture is often even more appealing.
That’s where Walrus Audio’s Emissary Parallel Boost pedal comes in. Rather than simply delivering traditional clean or linear boost that increases your guitar signal’s gain, the Emissary uses two differently flavored boost circuits in parallel, which you can dial in according to taste. The result is impressive versatility that belies the box’s two-knob simplicity.
The Emissary’s input splits your signal and sends it to two distinct, parallel booster paths. One is a clean, high-headroom JFET preamp voiced to emphasize high frequencies. The other is voiced to emphasize the midrange. A bright knob dials in the former, while a mid knob governs the latter. There’s also a mini-toggle that lets you select the band of midrange emphasis at 800 Hz or 1 kHz.
The on/off stomp switch is a soft-relay, non-latching type, which offers the bonus function of momentary operation so you can add a dose of boost for a quick passage and get back out without clicking twice. You just press and hold the switch to turn the pedal on, then release your foot to turn it off again. Normal stomp-on and stomp-off function is also available with a quick click of the switch.
