Yvette Young: Walrus Audio Meraki Pedal: Stereo Sculpting & Analog Time Bending

Coming from a family of musical multi-hyphenates, Yvette Young was primed for the arts from an early age, following in her parents’ creative tradition and picking up both the piano and the violin by the age of seven. These experiences would lay the foundation for her unorthodox approach to the guitar, engaging with multitudes of tunings and atypical chord shapes to craft a style entirely her own. As both a solo artist and lead to the math-rock outfit Covet, Yvette Young has 15 official releases under her belt that demonstrate the virtuosic chops and innovative playing that led to her well-earned signature Ibanez guitar. Between her multidisciplinary background and the innate curiosity that fuels her off-tour time teaching art and music, Yvette was the perfect choice to test out the latest captivating pedal from Walrus Audio: the Meraki analog stereo delay. Its full-spectrum, space-bending sonics stand to send your sound to multidimensional summits of tone crafting, and Yvette was kind enough to drop by Sweetwater to join Walrus Audio president and founder Colt Westbrook to take the Meraki’s menageries of musical mayhem for a spin.
