Chase Bliss Audio Pedals

$749 - The Preamp MKII Automatone is a collaboration between Chase Bliss Audio and Benson Amps, giving you robotic controls and a digital brain behind one of the best preamps in the business.

22. A collaborative looper that lets you do crazy things to the sampled audio.

"A myriad of overdrive, fuzz, and boost effects with a whole slew of highly tweakable parameters"

$349 | A feature-rich reverb with a “World” channel designed by Keeley that houses Hall, Plate, and Spring algorithms, and an edgier “Dark” channel designed by Cooper FX. The channels can be routed in 33 ways, creating a varied palette of reverb ranging from subtle, tasteful, and lush all the way to broken video cassette, glitch shimmer, and infinite freeze. Tweakers will enjoy the sonic options delivered by the 16 DIP switches on the back case, and the routing and expression pedal options are a nice extra.

$399 | A CBA version of a Cooper FX pedal simulating the degradation found on old worn out VHS tapes (but doing also sample rate reduction). It can be used to create lo-fi textures featuring random pitch fluctuations, high and low frequency loss, white noise, and sample rate reduction. You get various extra options via the 16 DIP switches on the back panel.

$399 - Presented as a “study in interaction,” this playful granular delay features a Wet Channel of spatial effects (built with OBNE) and a Loop Channel (built with Drolo FX) that merge and interface with each other in three different routing modes, opening up a world of sonic experimentation including time-stretching, freeze, overdub, dissolve and smear.

$499 - It digitally manipulates the pitch of an analog signal path created by 4 re-issued versions of the BBD chip. This allows to create delays with repeats playing at different intervals, opening up innumerable harmonizing options. Intervals can be sequenced automatically, or triggered manually. It can also be used as a more standard analog modulated delay.

100% analog signal path controlled by a digital brain, it packs the unimaginable in a compact case: tap tempo, MIDI connectivity, presets (2 via footswitches and 100+ through MIDI), modulation controls (shape, rate, depth, and shape), wet/dry knob, a hold function to add self-oscillation and 16 DIP switches on the back panel for extra tweaks.

"I like to make vintage, broken sounds with it, especially on clean parts"
