Description
Step into a world of boundless sonic possibilities with the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer-a multi-effects pedal that seamlessly fuses Chorus, Delay, Granular, and Reverb into one immersive, stereo-capable unit. Whether you're creating subtle textural layers or dramatic, otherworldly washes, the Qi Etherealizer's flexible architecture invites you to craft the perfect ambience for any genre or playing style.
At the heart of this pedal lies the Grain effect, which offers two distinct modes-Grain Cloud for random, glitchy micro-samples, and Phrase Sample for rhythmic, peak-triggered playback. Dial in everything from sparse sparkles to dense clusters with the X knob, and choose between five different playback modes (x1, x2, x.5, REV, RNDM) to further tweak your sound. Pair the Grain effect with the built-in Chorus (Tri Chorus or Stereo Chorus) and Delay (with up to two seconds of repeats) to build lush, swirling pads, or keep things tight with crisp echoes and subtle modulation.
To shape your overall sound, the Qi Etherealizer comes equipped with Space and Tone knobs. Use Space to control the reverb's mix and decay-from intimate rooms to expansive, diffused reverbs-while Tone adjusts a resonant low-pass filter to carve or emphasize the high-frequency content. Switch between Series and Parallel routing, giving you full command over how the effects interact. In Series, each effect feeds the next for a layered signal path; in Parallel, the effects run independently for clean, balanced blending.
Powerful performance features round out the Qi Etherealizer's design. You get three on-board presets (red, green, blue) plus a Live mode (white), along with MIDI control via 1/8" TRS in/out and a USB-C port for future firmware updates. Tap tempo and momentary Freeze functions add even more creative options, letting you capture and hold swirling clouds of sound at will.
If you're ready to expand your sound with a versatile, all-in-one ambient powerhouse, the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer delivers a truly inspirational blend of modern DSP and hands-on control-all while preserving the soulful, organic feel you crave from your pedalboard.
