Description

Walrus Audio and Yvette Young are excited to unveil the Qi Etherealizer: A stereo multi-effects pedal for Immersive Atmospheric Exploration. Pronounced “chee ethereal-izer”, the Qi is a uniquely inspiring new collaboration with Yvette that has been over a year in the making. Combining Chorus, Delay, Granular effects, and Reverb, Qi is an expansive creative playground for musicians seeking inspiration to create sounds and explore lush, evolving soundscapes.

The Qi Etherealizer allows players to mix and match Chorus, Delay, and Granular effects, running them in either series or parallel configurations to create a vast universe of sonic possibilities. Whether you’re crafting a traditional chorus with a hint of delay or exploring glitchy, ethereal washes of sound, the Qi offers unparalleled flexibility and instant inspiration.

The pedal features intuitive controls that let players save up to three onboard presets (127 via MIDI) plus a live mode.

Inside, the Qi includes the debut of Walrus Audio’s own proprietary digital processing platform, MDSP, setting a new standard in high-fidelity audio and innovative design. At its core is the powerful ARM-based Cortex M7 processor, enabling sophisticated algorithms in a compact, modular form that adapts to various pedal formats. With a superior audio codec and advanced processing capabilities, MDSP ensures unmatched performance, offering limitless creative possibilities for musicians and audio professionals. The introduction of MDSP reflects Walrus Audio’s commitment to providing creators with cutting-edge tools that inspire innovation and creativity.

The Qi Etherealizer is packaged in a rosy clay colored enclosure with custom art illustrated by Yvette, or a simplified black and cream variant. The die-cast enclosure’s exact size is 5.83” x 4.87” x 2.30” including hardware.

Art and Performance. Walrus Audio is a collective of artists, musicians and engineers attempting to find the balance between art and performance in sound manipulation. Throughout the years we have been inspired by sounds created by our favorite companies: the perfect breakup on an overdrive; a thick, punchy distortion; an endlessly sustained reverb; a self-oscillating delay. We had to give it a shot. Through many months of late night breadboarding sessions, circuit problem-solving, and sonic tweaking we have come up with a range of guitar pedals as versatile as they are functional. From smooth fuzz to cutting overdrive, our attempts have been to highlight the functions that we would want from these particular sounds. Once we had an accurate idea of the sounds we were creating, we then tried to capture the feel and representation of the pedals through their individual artwork. This process was made possible by Oklahoma artist and musician Nathan Price. Taking stylistic inspiration from classically animated films and using freehand sketching, Nathan has perfectly captured what our pedals should look like. It is our goal to make guitar effects that are as interesting to play as they are to look at. So that's what we are going to do.
