Description
 
Analog Man's Albatross pedal is used for the seagull type sound in Pink Floyd's Echoes, and can be used as a fixed-position wah wah pedal if you get the DELUXE version.

Features
David Gilmour found some unique, eerie sounds by plugging his wah-wah pedal in backwards and manipulating his tone knob for seagull sounds on the song ECHOES as heard Live at Pompeii.

The Albatross pedal allows doing this without having to hook your wah up backwards.

The Deluxe Version can also be used as a FIXED WAH, with the optional toggle and knob. This is the same as turning on a wah and holding it in a position, which can get some cool tones. The knob on the side should be set down all the way for seagull sounds and can be put anywhere for the fixed wah sounds.

Power jack, battery clip, and LED are standard, and like off handmade Analog Man pedals, it is true bypass when OFF.

The Albatross is controlled by the impedance of the signal entering the pedal.
To achieve the crying, fluttering effect, roll down your guitar's tone knob and you will hear the signal begin to rhythmically 'cry' or chirp.
You may find you can achieve the desired effect at different pitches with different pickup positions or tone knob settings.
Neck and middle pickup positions tend to be the most effective, but play around!

Note that you must plug your guitar in direct, no buffers before it, to get the magic to happen. So a wireless system will prevent it from working.

We have light blue, orange, bare metal, white, medium blue, purple, Beano Boost grey, and maybe a copper color available

5 of 5 Great fun December 3, 2025
Reviewer: Michael Hoernig from So Cal, USA  
I bought the albatross pedal a while ago and have had great fun with it.  Note that I am a terrible guitarist and if I inadvertently imply a musical use for the pedal ignore it, besides Gilmore already proved it's musical use.  If you like making spooky ethereal sounds that make you feel like your in a vast open area with hidden gulls calling in haunting tones, this is the pedal for you!  

With the deluxe version, which I own, you can also use it as an excellent fixed wah. ( The note about my abilities above may apply here.)
