That synth outro is LIFE!! Just leave mere here back in 1978, Doc! ❤

[DancingSketches]

Brings me back to when my brother bought a Boss digital delay in the 84. I had no idea how to use, or even plug in his guitar, but one night I snuck down the basement when he wasn't home. I wanted so bad to create some sounds but unfortunately ended up plugging it in wrong way and broke it before even starting. 40 years later out of the blue started playing bass. Haven't started buying pedals yet(besides a compressor), researching for inspiration. So many creative pedals to choose from, look forward to finally being able to create some sounds next year. I know my brother would have loved this pedal renaissance if he were still alive!

[stefankarlssonice]

Another great demo Scott - sounds amazing, but boy is it pricey!

[ThoseSleepless]

man... I read some of the comments before I clicked play on the video. Thought yeah that price is some classist BS. Grabbed my pitchfork and was ready to throw some prophetic heat against the giant corporate oligarch that is Chase Bliss. Then I clicked play. Heard the verb. Clearly to my ears the best verb pedal by a lot that I've ever heard and was forced to dial down my indignation. Hate to say it, but I'll probably buy this pedal cause it just sounds so damn good.

[charteredvessel]

I was highly anticipating this release but the price point quickly took the wind out of my sails. Beautiful sounds and piece of gear though. I guess its more geared towards high end studios as end users.

[j.willgooseesq.]

That finale sounds AMAZING. Like the best unused Blade Runner soundtrack offcut ever 👌

[manuelettermusic]

Woah. That synth sound at the end makes me want to be a synth.

[dougtolley]

Shit KNOBs, in the end I cracked open a couple and a smidge of wine. Watched this. Your playing style was perfect, restrained and intricate. The secret scatter and large room were extraordinary. The synth at the end, full and just wonderful. The radar sheets were the icing on the cake. Well done my friend. I absolutely fucking adored it.

[gph]

Wow. Fantastic pedal. Wow. Very expensive. It has that high school acid trip adventure quality to it's sound. Beautiful.

[LithopsEffect_]

Me: "I don't need ANOTHER reverb, right?"

Chase Bliss: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!"

[bikingintokyo]

Damn. What a pedal. For the price, I'd use it too as like analog hardware for mixing/mastering. I wanna see demos where people use this outside guitars.

[jonkelly]

I've had so many reverb pedals. Big sky, ventris, eventides. None of them come close to the beauty of this pedal. Something you have to experience in person. I happily paid 899$ for it

[palo]

Great noises coming out of this thing. Beautiful sounding licks too. Really killed this demo knobs. Good shit, my dude 👏👍

[IsothermeMusic]

Knobs, that ending music was emotionally superb. I would rather pay you to make an album of music you create with this pedal than pay the exorbitant street price for the pedal itself.

[LoVeAmBiEnT]

Also I really love the nice sounding white noise that chase Bliss seems to add to quite a few of their petals but it's such a wonderful sound I love it

[npsiwak]

Love the little OBNE / EQD (and a few others) reference in there... The dark star is where it's at.

[ektopia]

The editing with the screwdriver bits... sublime

[pablumpicasso]

I believe this is Chase Bliss’s take on the old Lexicon 224 studio reverb unit, which was pretty much ubiquitous back in the early 80. For those who can’t or don’t want to plunk down $900, try a plugin version of a Lexicon 224.... probably not exactly the same as this pedal but it’s a great tool nonetheless!

[jatam]

I think they just shaping new "normal" price tag for their devices. and those resellers who ask 600 for a used pedal which was 400 new help them with that.

[chipco]

I just bought this, and the pre-amp Mkii. I sold most of my pedals-(who needs'em now) and used the money to not only pay for these remarkable boxes but to buy a ticket to Iceland this summer. Oh, and the Lexicon 224 will be sold very soon too. So, tell me I wasted my money. Not!
