Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer: Redefine Sonic Possibilities
A Collaboration of Artistry and Innovation
The Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer, designed in partnership with Yvette Young, is a visionary multi-effects pedal that combines Chorus, Delay, Granular Effects, and Reverb into a powerhouse of creative expression. Perfect for atmospheric exploration, the Qi (pronounced “chee”) lives up to its namesake, delivering an energy and vibrancy that inspires lush soundscapes and transformative musical moments.
Key Features
1. Multi-Effect Versatility
- Chorus Modes: Choose between Tri-Chorus for rich, multidimensional textures and Stereo Chorus for expansive stereo width.
- Granular Effects: Blend between Grain Cloud for glitchy randomness and Phrase Sample for rhythmic sampling, with five playback modes (Normal, Double-Speed, Half-Speed, Reverse, Random).
- Digital Delay: Clean, precise delays with up to two seconds of repeats and tap tempo functionality.
2. Space Knob: Reverb Redefined
The Space control adds a beautiful reverb that moves from subtle room tones to massive, dreamy atmospheres. Blend and decay settings ensure you find the perfect amount of ambiance for your sound.
3. Series or Parallel Signal Paths
Run effects in series (Chorus > Delay > Grain) for evolving textures or in parallel for independent level control of each effect. The Mix/Dry control adapts seamlessly to both modes.
4. On-Board and MIDI Presets
Save your creations with three on-board presets (red, green, blue) and a live mode (white). MIDI compatibility offers deep integration into performance setups, while a USB-C port ensures future firmware updates.
