Onward on vocals! (w/ Courtney Swain)

What happens if we sing into Onward? Courtney finds out.

This was Courtney's first time playing the pedal. We set her loose for awhile, then gave her some prompts, and finally she tried to fit Onward into a performance.

Let's see.

0:00 - Begin
0:27 - A period of wild discovery
1:32 - Manual mode
2:18 - Sidechain + Duck
3:15 - Bouncing the Size knob
3:46 - Prompts
5:50 - Fighting a fly for awhile
6:04 - With a pedalboard
7:10 - Within a song

This is the best product demo in the history of product demos.

Courtney's voice is just divine and pairs so great with the pedal. amazing showcase, love it 💖💖🎶🎶

[yurijogurtsov]

simply the best Onward demo so far. and probably for ever. and likely, not just Onward but any pedal for that matter.

[alastpicturefromvoyager]

This is so smooth, everything evolves so softly. I couldn't stop saying it's a great pedal. Beautifull demonstration Courtney 👏

Courtney’s such a next level musician and combining her talents with such an exciting, expressive pedal is joyfully baking my creative noodle.

[doctorauxiliary]

very, very cool!! loved hearing her search & experiment. & then to hear her apply onward to a tune that she often performs, replacing all the effects she usually uses with onward... that felt really special, even hearing that tune for the first time. it must've been really exciting for her performing it. bravo, team!!

Really loving the mood of this video, it's natural fun, I love the humor, the talent displayed as simply as breathing, and the beauty of the sounds. Thank you Courtney Swain and Chase Bliss. Sending y'all my love.

Probably one of the coolest stereo effects I've ever heard. Wow!

[pongtrometer]

Beautiful….Courtney makes everything sound cosy, comfortable, unexpected and intimately laced with layers of harmony with fun…top tier chase bliss ambassador. 🌌

[HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

what a treat to hear all of this unfold. So many memorable moments here. Courtney is so well suited to this exploration. Lovely stuff :)

[Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

My impression is that the pedal copes particularly well with sounds that have rather gentle transitions in the sound (voice, saxophone, cello, violin, ...)

I need 48 of them for my personal small choir. 😂

[SBtrombone]

Courtney is such a blessing for you chase guys! She could sell me aaaanything!

[ArgonautsMusicalTravellings]

It’s like Bon Iver and Imogen Heap in a box 😂 Love it! ❤

[MakePopMusic]

You did it again. Your pedals are just inspiration and happy accident MACHINES! 🙌🏻

[sese]

So lovely with her voice ❤

Everyone who is looking for a deep dive on this pedal should check out Marc Johnston Video which was released at almost the same time.
So onward with him and then onward yourself. Have fun everyone. 🙃

[tuckersloughmusic]

This is great. Just ordered this pedal today. Can't wait to incorporate it!

[desertlifemusic]

This sounds magnificent and is super inspiring. I could easily imagine someone like Feist using it. 👏

[lbsMax]

Very cool video! Nice to see the pedal being used in such an inventive and creative way.
