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.

Powerful Processing = Beautiful Sounds

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.

Guitar Effects Pedals

Guitar Effects Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar effects pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Ambient

Ambient guitar effects focus on atmosphere, movement and texture rather than aggressive drive or traditional dry guitar tones. Long reverbs, modulated delays, shimmer effects and looping pedals are often combined to create cinematic soundscapes used in shoegaze, post-rock, experimental and soundtrack-inspired music.

Ambient-focused pedalboards are often built around layering and dynamics, allowing simple chord progressions and melodies to evolve into huge immersive washes of sound. Stereo operation, expression control and long signal chains are particularly common in ambient guitar setups.
