FAQs
What is the function of the granular effect?
The granular effect lets you manipulate the audio signal into small segments, creating unique textures and glitching sounds. This effect is very good at creating unconventional sounds.
How do I save presets?
Refer to the product manual for instructions on saving and recalling presets. Typically, it involves pressing and holding a footswitch while selecting a preset location.
Can I use the Qi in mono?
Yes, you can use the Qi in mono by connecting a single output to your amp. However, you will not experience the full stereo effects.
What type of power supply does the Qi Etherealizer need?
The pedal requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity.
How do I update the firmware?
Consult the Walrus Audio website for firmware updates and instructions. You will typically need a computer and a MIDI interface.
Troubleshooting

Check all cable connections, and ensure the pedal is powered on. Make sure the input and output jacks are correctly connected to your signal chain. Verify amp volume and guitar volume.
The effect sound is weak or distorted.
Check the input and output levels. Adjust the gain and mix controls on the Qi to optimize the signal. Check for issues with your amp or guitar.
