Chase Bliss Onward – a sonic paradise in a pedal

The Chase Bliss Onward is a very special kind of glitch and ambient effects pedal. It was presented for the first time at this year’s Superbooth and the idea and sounds immediately appealed to me.

An absolute recommendation for fans of unusual glitch and freeze sounds. The Onward is more than the sum of the two effects. The interaction and the crazy error effects work differently depending on the sample size and always deliver new sounds. With the numerous hidden features, the effect pedal can be perfectly adapted to your own playing.

SOMA Pulsar-23 (screw) with a Guitar

In this video we use the screws version of the SOMA Pulsar-23 to find out how guitarists can use this wonderful device for their needs.

In the first sound file, I selected the BPF delay and controlled the feedback via a CV touch plate. This allows you to set accents and drive the delay into oscillation.

In the second sound example, I use the LFO to create the modulation that modulates the delay time. Since I connected the LFO to another CV plate, I can switch from a light chorus effect to a vibrato with the touch of a finger. At the same time, I play with the feedback part.

Chase Bliss Mood MK II Demo Video

The Chase Bliss Mood MK II is ambient music in a pedal. Far away from the “happy accidents” that are hyped in many forums, you can learn to understand this pedal and thus create sounds that can become the soundtrack of your life or of a great movie. Of course you can also use the pedal as a reverb, MIDI synchronized delay or reverse pitch delay, but the Mood MK II can do so much more. It wants to play with sounds, alienate them and discover new worlds of sound. No matter whether with the guitar or the synthesizer, the sound is always marvellous and spherical. Compared to its predecessor, the MK I, the Chase Bliss Mood MK II has some features and sound options that definitely justify switching to the recent version.

So, go on a sound journey!

Roland SP-404MKII with guitar – hands-on workshop

During the breaks in playing, a slight hiss can be heard. This is because I used the compressor of the Roland SP-404MKII, switched off the noise gate to avoid choppy guitar tones and missed to turn up the master volume a bit. With the correct settings, you can reduce the hissing in the periods you are not playing/ recording, which of course can no longer be heard in the finished song. Since I first have to get used to this super extensive device, I’ve already made this mistake for you so that you don’t have to make it yourself 😉
