Walrus Audio MAKO Series MKII: ACS1 Amp + Cab Simulator

Walrus Audio MAKO Series: ACS1 Amp + Cab Simulator

The [ACS1] is an amplifier and speaker cab simulator delivering the sound and feel of world-class amplifiers, complimentary speaker cabinets, and controllable room size. With the ACS1, players have expansive options to deliver their tone whether it's on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home. Simple controls, stereo in and out, onboard presets, and MIDI support make the ACS1 an immeasurable tool in a guitarists arsenal.

The ACS1 contains six amplifier models based on fan-favorite amps, each with its place in music history, and twelve cab IRs (Impulse Responses) designed by world-class designers to give you the best tonal representation possible. The stock IRs for the Fullerton, London, and Dartford amp models were custom-engineered by David Hislop and Kenyon Reed at Tone Factor, while the stock IRs for the Red, Citrus, and Tread amp models were designed by Justin York at York Audio.

Amplifiers

The ACS1 can mix and match stereo amp and cab combinations. Want to run an AC30-style amp on the left and an Orange-style amp on the right? Or perhaps a 5150 flavored amp in both channels but with two different cabs for a wider stereo sound? When running the ACS1 in stereo, one amp can be used through both channels, or these combinations can be run independently left and right if you choose, leading to powerful, unique amp tones. Simply press down on the Middle encoder to choose individual settings for L, R, or L+R combined. Amps can be mixed and matched with no phase/polarity issues as well.

Onboard models include:

Three Vintage Amp Models

Fullerton - Inspired by the classically bright and clear Fender® Deluxe Reverb. Crisp clean tones with loads of headroom that players have come to love over the years.

London - Inspired by a 1962 Marshall® Bluesbreaker with a harmonically rich, valve-driven breakup. Articulate and sensitive response.

Dartford - Inspired by the legendary jangly high-end tones from a 1960s Vox® AC30 with all the bite and chime from the British Invasion.

Three High Gain Amp Models

Red: Inspired by the distinctively raw and punchy Peavey® 5150, producing heavy, aggressive modern metal and hard rock sounds. Powerful and saturated with a tight low end, strong midrange, and a bright, cutting high end.

Citrus: Inspired by the warm, rich, and harmonically complex Orange® Rockerverb. Classic British gain with a creamy midrange and punchy lows. Maintains clarity and definition across its entire tonal spectrum, even at high-gain settings.

Tread: Inspired by the world-famous Mesa Boogie® Dual Rectifier with massive amounts of in-your-face gain. Versatile enough to be favored by guitarists in genres from hard rock, punk, metal, and more, Tread offers up plenty of saturation that’s heavy and ready to cut through the mix.

Cabinet IRs

The ACS1 includes six IRs custom-engineered by David Hislop and Kenyon Reed at Tone Factor and six by Justin York of York Audio. Each IR has been created with vintage and modern amps to deliver the best tonal representation possible.

Users also have the option to load their own IRs via our customer web app found at walrusaudio.io.
