Walrus Audio Canvas Rehearsal: The Ultimate Practice Pedal?
Good-bye, angry neighbors!
3,9 / 5,0 | 
Got a fully stacked pedalboard at home, but the neighbors don’t feel it? The Canvas Rehearsal from Walrus Audio might be what you’re looking for. It’s a utility pedal that adds headphones, Bluetooth input, and a metronome to your practice rig.
Walrus Audio Canvas Rehearsal: No excuses not to practice
It’s one of the major motivation killers for many musicians who practice at home: overly sensitive neighbors. But who can blame them if you look at it from the outside? Hearing the same lick repeatedly for hours or someone meticulously dialing in their sound for days on end can be nerve-wracking.
While just about any amp modeler pedal these days and practice amp includes a headphone jack, many still keep their amp at the rehearsal space or play fully analog pedalboards. In these cases, it’s often not as easy to take their pedals home and find a set-up that allows them to practice.
With a utility pedal like the new Canvas Rehearsal from Walrus Audio, not wanting to annoy your neighbors isn’t an excuse anymore. You just put the pedal at the end of the chain, plug in your headphones, and off you go. This is Canvas Rehearsal!
Bluetooth, Aux-in, and a very Flexible Metronome
It’s called Rehearsal for a reason. Or three, if we’re being honest. Because not only does the Canvas Rehearsal allow you to practice with headphones. You also get two ways to route backing tracks to practice to into the signal chain, and a very flexible metronome.
You can either connect your band’s tracks via 1/8″ aux-in or Bluetooth. Then the pedal allows dialing in the volume of your guitar’s signal, the backing track, and the metronome separately – super handy! In addition, you can set the metronome’s speed in three different ways.
You can use the pedal’s tempo control, tap in the tempo with the dedicated tap button, or change into tap mode. Holding the foot switch activates said mode, which you can then use to tap in the desired tempo.
Display and Connectivity
In addition, Canva Rehearsal’s metronome can be set to odd meters, and you can decide where to put the accent. Both functions can enhance the practice experience greatly. The current tempo, meter, and accent settings are all visible on the included display.
The pedal offers a full stereo signal chain for inputs and outputs. In addition, there is a MIDI input and output (1/8″ ports), so you can sync the Canva Rehearsal to your other pedals, but also pass on the sync signals to additional pedals. Quite the versatile beast!

I love Walrus, but what actual problem is this solving? The ACS1 pictured has a headphone out. There are countless solutions to simply hearing your guitar and merging in audio that are less than a tenth of the asking price here. What is the killer app/feature?
I read that it supports Bluetooth audio input, but does it also support Bluetooth audio output? One of my frustrations with practicing with headphones is the extra cable, it restricts my movement and often gets tangled with my instrument cable.
I’ve looked everywhere, because I had the same question. It looks very much like it’s only Bluetooth input. Which makes sense if you think about it, because the latency would be too high otherwise.
