Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer

Stereo multi-effects pedal with chorus, delay, granular effects and reverb

Designed in collaboration with Yvette Young, known for her math-rock band Covet and her experimental fingerstyle technique

Inspired by atmospheric, magical sounds

Mix and combine chorus, delay and grain; effects can be arranged in series or parallel

Series Mode: Effects are processed one after the other and build upon one another

Parallel Mode: Effects run side by side; each effect block is fed the same

input signal, and are mixed together at the end

Chorus offers Tri-Chorus and Stereo-Chorus modes for rich, modulated sounds.

Delay offers a clean digital delay with repeats lasting up to 2 seconds

The Granular effect offers two modes: Grain Cloud and Phrase Sample

Grain Cloud mode triggers random grain samples with random textures; the density and frequency of the glitches can be adjusted using the X knob

Phrase Sample mode uses rhythmic elements from the dynamic peaks of the signal, with the tempo adjustable via the X control

The Grain effect offers 5 modes: Normal, Double-Speed (+1 octave), Half-Speed (-1 octave), Reverse, and Random

Global controls: Space, Tone, Series / Parallel, Mix / Dry

The Space control delivers rich reverb, ranging from small rooms to vast soundscapes

The Tone control shapes the effect output with a synthesiser-style low-pass filter

Latch and momentary functions such as Grain Freeze and Delay Oscillation

Stereo input and stereo output

TRS MIDI mini-jack input and Thru, for MIDI control of parameters and preset management

Three presets directly accessible on the pedal plus Live mode; up to 127 presets via MIDI

USB-C port for firmware updates

Developed using Walrus Audio’s new proprietary MDSP chip for high headroom, improved audio quality and a superior signal-to-noise ratio

The Qi Etherealizer is available in terracotta with artwork by Yvette Young, or in matte black with cream-coloured ink

Power supply: 9V, 300 mA
