Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone!

[Undeadvegetableinc]

The most impressive thing about all this, is how Andrew remembers how every piece of his gear works. I'd love to see a video where he tackles the gear he has no idea how to use properly and makes a song out of the chaos

[prod.Upside]

The vocals through this pedal are insane! That segment literally sounds like a psychedelic trip.

[RedMeansRecording]

Yeah this is a hit. All the best from Mood and a fair amount of good Microcosm and Data Bender DNA.

[bremki]

Bro, the vocal stuff at the end is BY FAR the best section of any gear demo I’ve ever seen! Hall of fame performance!! Smiles for miles! You 🙌

[codymccormick]

That ambient jam was beautiful, what a dope pedal

[achaea]

i would love to see if Sungazer will use or has used this, because it seems right up their alley when it comes to how they make their sounds

[nullvd]

I didn't know how much I missed “Weird Gear” until I CRAVED that glitchy intro sting

[jakebrandt]

I heard Chase Bliss is actually developing a pedal that will be able to predict what you are going to play before you play it...it then takes those signals and records them and sends them back in time with the precision that only Chase Bliss can execute, so that when you play the note...you actually hear it the exact moment you play it. Insane. It's called the "Fuxdatdo?".

[jeffoff]

I could listen to that ambient loop for hours.

[johanlucasgruner]

I also own a chase bliss pedal (dark world) and I love it, there is so much flexibility with it, which can be overwhelming at times but you just get sounds you couldn't otherwise get. They really nail this kid of stuff

[nocuh]

CBA pedals are more than just gems, they’re Crown Jewels. Joel is a living legend who gets it right time and time again 🌞

[CaptainDan]

I am so grateful for YouTubers like you who share their vast music knowledge in such high quality and detail. Thank you!

[trevorbeingtrevor]

So many of those sounds gave me Knobs video vibes, makes sense he helped develop it. Love that he and ChaseBliss are putting their brains together and making awesome things.

[bricelory]

This might be my favorite pedal ever. Between what you, HAINBACH, and Emily Hopkins (harp pedal lady) have done with it, there's just a whole world of options in this one pedal.

[lefunghi]

I got rid of most of my guitar pedals but kept the Board and Power Supply in case I ever find one I want to use. I think this is the one. What a cool little machine!
Reminds me a lot of my Data Bender but with different approach to it

[iamsushi]

Oh my word everybody’s playing with the Habit today!

Also thanks for continuing weird gear!

[QueenKiwiCreamkins]

Interestingly the section where you used it on vocals made everything click for me as to what the pedal is actually doing to inputted audio, definitely the most ear-boggling out of the three trials though!

[PocketUnv]

This feels like something that would both give me great joy and infuriate me to no end. I think I need it.

[OttosTheName]

17:05 Instant Robot Rock / Oh Yeah intro from Daft Punk Alive 2007. Also everything after that with the vocals was seriously wrinkling my brain! I ... might need this.

[krysidian]

The sounds that this thing spit out were so interesting! Loved the vocal bit, would probably also just play around with it for hours without breaks.
