The Qi Etherealizer (pronounced “chee ethereal-izer”), a collaborative creation with Yvette Young, is a multi-effects pedal that combines Chorus, Delay, Granular effects, and, of course, Reverb, into a creative playground for atmospheric exploration.

Crafted in collaboration with star math-rocker and stompbox obsessive Yvette Young, the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer is a multi-effects masterwork that unlocks expansive and enveloping atmospheric textures. This pedal’s tripartite configuration of effects includes two choruses, a tap tempo-enabled digital delay, and two Grain voices, with the ability to run these captivating sounds in series (Chorus into Delay into Grain) or parallel (all three effects summed together). Each of the Qi Etherealizer’s portions sports a plethora of parameters to shift and shape your signal. You also get a global control section that supplies Mix/Dry adjustment, a powerful resonant lowpass filter Tone control, and a lush reverb that transforms from a resonant room to a cavernous echo with the twist of the Space knob. To top it all off, Walrus Audio enabled this powerhouse box of ambient allure with true stereo ins and outs, MIDI In/Thru 1/8-inch ports, and a trio of onboard preset slots. All in all, the Qi Etherealizer is the ideal example of a stompbox that rewards experimentation and, in Yvette’s own words, is aimed to inspire guitarists “to sound a little less guitar-y and more . . . magical!”
