Walrus Audio MAKO ACS1 MKII

The Walrus Audio MAKO ACS1 MKII is a complete amplifier and cabinet simulator for guitarists who want to play without a traditional amplifier, without compromising on sound or feel. The pedal combines six carefully modeled amplifiers with twelve high-quality cabinet impulse responses from Tone Factor and York Audio, putting classic clean sounds as well as solid British crunch and modern high-gain tones within reach. Thanks to the ability to freely combine amplifiers and cabinets, even separately for the left and right channels, the ACS1 MKII offers an impressively wide sonic palette for live use, studio recording, and home practice.

In addition to the extensive amplifier models, the ACS1 MKII features a powerful 3-band EQ, adjustable noise gate, presence and resonance controls, and three different spatial effects: Room, Hall, and Spring. Custom IRs can be easily loaded via USB-C, while three onboard presets and up to 128 MIDI presets provide direct access to favorite settings. Stereo inputs and outputs, a headphone output, MIDI functionality, and a clear OLED display make this pedal a particularly versatile solution for any modern guitarist seeking a compact yet professional ampless setup.

The MAKO ACS1 MKII demonstrates just how far digital amplifier simulation has evolved. The combination of high-quality modeling, extensive routing capabilities, and intuitive operation makes this one of the most complete amp and cabinet simulators in its class. Whether you are playing directly on the PA, want to record silently, or are looking for a compact pedalboard setup, the ACS1 MKII delivers convincing amplifier sounds with the flexibility modern guitarists desire.
