WALRUS AUDIO FUNDAMENTAL AMBIENT
Walrus Audio has added the Fundamental Ambient, an experimental offering to its Fundamental series that boasts an expan- sive pillowy reverb with three atmospheric modes in a compact size. The Fundamen- tal Ambient offers a great entry-point into ambient exploration with the tonal integrity to live on a professional’s pedalboard but with simplified controls friendly enough for even the newest effects pedal users. With the Fundamental Ambient’s three reverb modes, players can experiment with deep, dark pad-like sounds to AM radio-like, lo-fi sounds with the flip of a switch. {walrusaudio.com}

DUNLOP ROBERT TRUJILLO BASS STRINGS Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo displays powerful attack and monstrous tone in his playing, leading Dunlop to work closely with him to develop the Robert Trujillo Bass Strings. The Robert Trujillo Bass Strings serve up a clear and articulate top end, a solid midrange punch to cut through a wall of gui- tars and more than enough focused bottom. Trujillo prefers his strings tapered, but not everyone has their bass configured for that style — so the Robert Trujillo Bass Strings are designed specifically for non-tapered setups using the exact same formulas. They’re available in nickel wound and stainless steel in four-and five-string sets. {jimdunlop.com}
