Walrus AudioQi Etherealizer Stereo Multi-Effects Pedal

Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

The Qi Etherealizer from Walrus Audio is a unique multi-effects pedal that combines chorus, delay, granular effects, and reverb to evoke immersive textural layers from your playing. Designed in collaboration with guitarist Yvette Young, the Qi Etherealizer provides a world of new sonic territories to explore in playing, from sweetly modulated melodies to ineffable swarms of glitchy granular goodness. Like the vital energy that inspires its name, the Qi Etherealizer is intrinsically linked to your human endeavors, weaving loops of captivating sound that respond to your playing and provide illuminated opportunities through which creativity spills out.

With its multiple effects at full disposal, the Qi Etherealizer offers a deeply flexible sound design tool. The granular effect can be used in two modes, both a randomized Grain Cloud mode and a ultra-playable Phrase Sample mode which triggers grains rhythmically from your playing. Along with the five varied playback modes, a vast array of unique textures and gestures can be achieved. Create additional spirals of time warped repeats with the delay effect, providing a clean digital design with performative options like tap tempo and a feedback swell effect. The chorus is similarly multimodal, with both a rich Tri-Chorus and classic Stereo Chorus mode for multiple modulatory flavors.

Run these effects in series from the Chorus, through the delay, and finally into the Granular effect, or select parallel mode for a summed mix of all three. Add the final touch to your output signal with global controls for tone and mix balance, and don't forget to add some reverb with the Space control for instant dreaminess. With deep sound design potential and highly interactive effects, the Qi Etherealizer from Walrus Audio is an audio mangler's delight, inviting lush clouds and ecstatic streams of glitchy timbres to send your playing into a new dimension.
