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!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComprehensive chorus section\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst up on the list, this pedal’s Chorus section comprises two distinct sounds to swap between: Tri and Stereo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTri Chorus:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBy combining a trio of chorus voices into a lush and enveloping whole, Tri Chorus supplies you with a rich, complex, and multifaceted wash of modulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Chorus:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAs you might have guessed from the name, Stereo Chorus grants you a classic chorus tone, only with the modulation of the effect offset 180 degrees to the right channel, resulting in an expansive stereo effect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGorgeous granular effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Qi Etherealizer’s Grain section selects and triggers small samples (grains) of your signal, modifying them in various ways to result in an effect that oscillates between stuttering glitch effects and exquisite, ever-moving textures. Two distinct voices of Grain are at your command, while the Playback knob provides five positions to determine how your grains are warped: normal speed, double speed with an upper-octave effect, half-speed with a lower-octave effect, reverse playback, and a setting that randomizes between all four modes for all-out chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain Cloud:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis mode randomly selects portions of your playing to send through the Grain section, releasing them in a sporadic fashion for always-surprising sonic anomalies.
