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.
Designed with Yvette Young
Like tapping? Whacky tunings? Lush stacked-pedal tones that range from crunchy chords to soaring ambient textures? Yvette Young knows what’s up. The Covet band leader has been setting the guitar world ablaze with her signature tones and unique polyphonic style inspired by her piano playing background. She’s also a big Walrus Audio fan. Cue her teaming up with the Oklahoma company to design her own pedal, channelling her love of ambient, glitchy, digital-meets-analog effects.
