Chase Bliss don't deserve to be the boutique darlings

Post by Woolworm »

You know what my girlfriend said when she saw my Mood? I was like "Yo baby check out my Chase Bliss Mood". She fucking laughed. Then I had to start rubbing my Catalinbread Antithcthon all over myself. Circle a corner round my nipples. Pull my head down to lick a knob.

Then I got to play with the pedal. It fucking sucked. The three sides on the Drolo side were pretty good, but what's the point, why don't you get a Drolo that has even more modes for like 2 times less the price. Compared to the Red Panda Tensor, its fucking embarrassing. Heck, the Dwarfcraft Grazer is way better. And what's the fucking point of the reverb side? Why do I need a reverb section in my granular Ableton pedal? I can just have a reverb I really like after my chain, not some algorithms made by a bunch of dorks at Old DUD Noise Endeavours. Their pedals are fucking terrible and also not worth the price.

So... what pedals made Chase Bliss the boutique darlings? The Mood and the Blooper. Two pedals that dork Joel didn't even design, just put them in his shit shasi cos all those companies know they don't make money like that and all the TGP normies and all the retailers don't faun over their gear like they do for Chase PISS, prolly cos Chase PISS makes a lot more money for them charging excruciating amounts of money.

And another thing, special editions should cost 50 dollars AT MOST more than the original. Here's Chase PISS charging 300 dollars more. Money hungry dorks. You do know I can just buy a Fuzz Factory 7 for 300 dollars than 650 for your shitty shasi. And has Joel ever even done Ayahuasca? I doubt it.

Their pedals suck. All of them. Originally they were a Zvex rip off company and Joel owes all his ideas of his first few pedals to Zvex. The Warped Vinyl is a ripoff of the Lofi Junkie and the Gravitas of the Sonar. And prolly more that I'm missing.

The only pedal I would consider buying from his range is the Gravitas but that's cos I'm a tremolo nerd and like the functionality of the gravitas. But tremolo has nothing to do with tone. Dark World, terrible reverb tones, Gain Intelligence, terrible distortion pedal, what pedal did Joel create that's actually any good?

And 550 dollars for a looper? ARE YOU FUCKING OUT OF YOUR MIND! I don't care if its 'creative looper' or whatever. You see that Boss 10-R? 32 bit 192k SR. Look at that fucking audio quality, you can record that shit like a pro audio interface on the go. And its got a rhythm section / drum machine.

Red Panda should be the boutique darlings. But they haven't released a pedal in a long time. people are easy to forget. Maaaaan, I remember back in the day when Zvex was the fucking shit. What a great company, actually innovative, their painted pedals were a bit much but their Vexter was reasonable for the super innovative things you were getting, especially at the time.

Why even consider processors with single I/O?

I mean, feel how you want to feel about the sounds coming out of these boxes, but surely you understand that you're paying for MIDI control, preset storage, and highly configurable expression/CV/ramping when you buy one of these boxes, the combined sum of which doesn't really exist in similar alternatives, certainly not in such a compact package. It's obviously an expensive platform to manufacture, and those features are going to make any effect more expensive and more valuable. If you aren't using that stuff, then Chase Bliss probably isn't right for you, and I'm sure you're right that a lot of people buy Chase Bliss stuff more to get in on the hype train than to take advantage of the MIDI, presets, ramping, etc., but who fucking cares what other people buy or why? Don't be a child. I own a few Chase Bliss pedals (Tonal Recall and Brothers see the most use, but I also have a Gravitas, Spectre, and Generation Loss on my current guitar board and an Ayahuasca destined for a different board down the line), and I get some great fucking sounds out of them, but I also make extensive use of their on-board features... because I'm not afraid of my gear.
