Haggerty’s Music is thrilled to offer the Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer, a groundbreaking multi-effects pedal created in collaboration with Yvette Young. Designed to inspire sonic exploration, the Qi blends Chorus, Delay, Granular effects, and Reverb into an immersive playground for musicians seeking rich textures and expansive soundscapes. Yvette’s influence shines through in the pedal’s ability to create lush, evolving tones that push the boundaries of traditional guitar sounds. With the ability to mix and match effects in series or parallel, save presets, and instantly modify settings with its intuitive controls, the Qi is a tool for crafting everything from subtle modulations to vast, otherworldly washes of sound.

The Qi is also the first pedal built on Walrus Audio’s cutting-edge MDSP platform, which utilizes an ARM-based Cortex M7 processor for high-fidelity digital signal processing. This revolutionary system allows for advanced audio algorithms, superior sample rates, increased bit depth, and a modular design that expands creative possibilities for musicians. Whether you're looking to add shimmering ambiance, rhythmic grain textures, or a deep, modulated chorus to your sound, the Qi Etherealizer delivers an unparalleled level of sonic artistry.
