Best Practice

Walrus Audio’s new utility pedal is designed to sit at the end of your pedalboard and deliver silent practice options

The latest of Walrus Audio’s rapidly expanding Canvas range of utility items is the Canvas Rehearsal, which the company is promoting as an all-in-one rehearsal tool. Its basic remit is that it allows you to plug in and listen to your instrument through headphones or a connected sound system, playing along to its builtin metronome and/or any tracks you care to send into it through a mini-jack stereo input or wirelessly via Bluetooth. While you can plug a guitar straight in, the natural place for the unit is at the end of a chain of effects pedals to give you a more inspiring sound, particularly so if there’s an amp-in-a-box pedal involved. Walrus Audio sees the Canvas Rehearsal as the ideal companion for the guitarist with a pedalboard who wants to practise or work up new material.
