With all these modern pedals which have a complex original design, Andy's demos are the only ones that give me a feeling of what they actually do. It sounds great here!
same... just learned of this pedal today and was immediately intrigued, however all the other videos show it in a much too abstract (for me) application, which i suppose is what it's probably intended for in the first place, however it's nice to hear an input signal featuring some semblance of a normal guitar rather than just ambient swells, synths, etc. i love all that stuff, but it's too out there to show us how this works on a more basic level.
I've got to say, there was a point near the end when even Andy had that look on his face like he had no idea what the hell that pedal was doing, and all he could do was smile at its complex noises. Dude's one of us.
My tastes must be evolving. Not long ago, this would have been a hard pass with the overwhelming options and wild modulation and wackiness it can do. Now, this is absolutely exciting. I bet this could be super inspiring and take your creativity in many unexpected directions.
When pedal builders collaborate we all win, this thing is sweet. Ive been dying for some modern looping devices and Chase Bliss comes thru with 2 awesome pieces of gear
With a lot of the more esoteric pedals, while he does them justice in finding usable sounds, I always feel like Andy is leaving a lot of what the unit can do on the table(perhaps for the best in some cases, where otherwise we'd all lose our minds). Not so with this one. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, about 3/4th of the way in he started to fall in love with the Mood. And you know what- so did I. In starting with some more 'reined in' settings while explaining what the halves of the pedal are and how they interact, the stage was set for the rest and it's absolutely clear what's happening and why. Best demo of this pedal I've seen. I am sold
Maybe not the best bang-for-buck use case, but it can be a really cool reverb or echo sound (lo-fi in particular) or is can just be an instant "reverse" effect that's not quite what existing reverse delays do. TBH, I got one and I don't think I will ever use this outside of home. It is a fun creative tool though, and I have used it for creating "noise" tracks on home demos.
Random first thoughts: 1) cool, another Floyd/New Age pedal 2) I need a Reverend 12-string in my life 3) Dark World + delay + looper = MOOD? 4) Andy is like the get started quick set of instructions on these pedal demos. 👍 5) Someone get one of these to Michael Lemmo, stat! 😉
This sounds like the best attempt by Chase Bliss (and their collaborators) to make a natural extension of the instrument through a pedal, which is incredibly impressive coming from them.
Trick for bass; on the delay mode, put the time all the way down, clock at a high setting, and slowly increase the feedback of the delay to taste. It's basically a bass boost of sorts, you can get some serious low end out of it
You can also buy them if you don't mind living under the freeway overpass after. It's not so bad. Mood sounds and the smell of fresh sidewalk urine go well together.
@@i_am_a_tapeworm MOOD is a mico-looper. I wouldn't call it a legit looper. I own it... it's a fun pedal. But if you like Chase Bliss and you want a looper, get the Blooper. What this pedal does do is give you nice little surprises that you can use to create a large musical idea. It take your short ideas and reinvents them, then gives you a foundation for doing other things... but it's definitely in the mood creating ambient realm, not in a looping realm. It takes patients and an open mind, but if you want a legit looper, this isn't the right pedal for you. In fact, the Chase Bliss website says this: MOOD vs Blooper "MOOD is about play. About interaction. MOOD is like a little musical chemistry set, giving you two channels of immediate, open-ended algorithms. Combine them, pass sound back and forth, get lost. It excels at texture and ambience." "Blooper is serious shit. Not really. But it is kind of. The foundation of Blooper is a high-quality looper with practical, handy features: saving, syncing, multiple levels of undo / redo, MIDI control, etc. It will do everything you expect from a performance looper, plus a little more." They go into a lot of detail on the Chase Bliss website.
Serious product drop with everyone's demos coordinated for 1st day release! Now how many granulating delay-O-loopers will I end up with?!? And when will one of our pedal heroes give us the functionality of the old "always on" mode of the original EXX 16 second delay???
I wonder what features would be cut to make a pedal similar to this more affordable because I’m sure I would buy a pedal similar to this if it cost less than $350.
I can sense that very rarely Andy’s playing and the nature of the pedal don’t go together....I can sense that Andy is at the edge of his comfort zone. But hey the man is a professional....he will make it look nice, but does it dig it ? Hmmm....moot question.
The 'Roger Linn' stuff does all this sort of stuff and more (AdrenaLinn II and III, and Black Box with M-Audio). Albeit older tech and different type of build quality. But very decent modeling combined with beat sync'd affects and filters, and probably a fraction of the cost on 'Reverb"
Jack Dave why are you limiting yourself to "genres"? Music is a lot more than just playing a 3 minute "rock" song for an audience. Many people write music for themselves, at home. Or experiment. This kind of pedal would be for something like that.
@@jackdifferent I wouldn't be able to use this for the kinds of music I play, nor do I have any need for a pedal like this. Doesn't mean it's not an impressive, cool bit of kit
Forrester Payne you think limiting ? Then define what kind of music he played? And why genres for in music ? There is no limit for learning music but learning music playing guitar with this kind of pedal will lead to waste of time. Can’t learn anything just wasting time. I’m very much particular for the price of this Mood. More than $300 I guess. A cheap $50 modulation ,reverb and $29delay pedal can do much more better than this Mood. Anyway it’s my opinion.
Does this pedal have a "bypass" setting? I have one, but i can't figure out how to make the effect stop "effecting"!! Want to add effects but not on the entire song! Help somebody?
skip the Rever. i got bored of it quickly. Tensor/CT5 are different enough to justify both, though they can do similar things. I have both yet still want the Mood to see how it compares.
Mega12AX7 People put vocals through stomp boxes all the time. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work from an instrument mic in an effects loop. Direct in might even work at the cost of a little volume. The price is $350. It’s in the description.
You would most likely just need some sort of pre amp. Most mics have different input levels than guitars. I just use the empress reverb and the volume control on that these days.
Martin Anthonyo check out over 2000 pedal demos over the last 12 years from pro guitar shop reverb and now andydemos on you tube . Andy is the grand master or all you tube demos. Enjoy
$350 for a mono glitch-verb/DDL pedal.....hmmmm. why not just add a bitcrush to the DDL you already have instead. choose well and together they can do far more than this thing
Many cool sounds but for a pedal I could not find any solid use for this at all. Seems more like if I wanna spend $400 on just messing around and then getting bored after 10 minutes. It simply does too many things to do one thing well, it doesn't really do anything that well IMO. I'll stick to a reverb+delay+canyon delay and looper on top of those.
Chase bliss pedals live up to the hype homie. Some of them are a little harder to figure out, but once you do it’s super easy to dial in the sound you’re looking for.
Nope. Just a really terrible review - go find the knobs explainer, and you'll see it's (at least) three pedals in one. Delay, looper and modulation/ ring modulation. It's an extremely complex, clever pedal, but this isn't shown here.
They price themselves out of the non pro market. I could buy a nice Epiphone Les Paul for that or a good Fender amp. Crazy! It's just a box of electronics, wonder how much markup they stick on the retail. Anyways, won't be paying £350 for that.
You will see more of this listed of Facebook for sale than any other pedal. Complete flop. Chase bliss, yet again, designs a pedal with 10% practical use. This pedal could have been great but shows no practical day to day use for 95% of guitar players...on to the next one.
Maybe by people that don't understand it, but Montreal Assembly has been selling out of Count to 5 pedals for years and this is very much aimed directly at that space. I bought one and play more ambient and experimental/glitchy stuff.
1Bamawrx Does the world lack the pedals for what you think are 95% of guitar players (I’m assuming you’re referring to pop and classic rock)? Why can’t there be pedals for folks looking to do something different? Why shouldn’t studios buy one when a client is looking for something different? Since you’re advocating for 95% of guitarists, I’m sure you spend a lot of time in recording studios and you’ve seen their gear collections right?
Seriously now, which guitarist will use that in a real, band situation? This is for solo hipsters that spend thousands to do "experimental stuff" without even knowing how to play a pentatonic.
With all these modern pedals which have a complex original design, Andy's demos are the only ones that give me a feeling of what they actually do. It sounds great here!

Same here, not really interested in the pedals, just Andy's playing
The man does pedals
Had to come here to actually hear this pedal because I don’t tickle my guitar with feathers like knobs does.
That’s the best analogy for his playing that I’ve heard.
Every pedal sounds like knobs.
I think this is the happiest I’ve seen Andy while messing around with a pedal, and how could you not be with this glitchy madness

Welcome to Chase Bliss Audio
I thought it would get you high .like way high. Like higher than most . Like way way ...
*cries in Eurorack.
Now take a look at how many other awesome pedals they have for around the same price....
Kudos to you for the amazing demo! I was on the fence about the pedal until I heard this.
This sounds amazing! So much potential for solo/looping stuff. I'm curious to hear how this might sound on bass.
Trick for bass; on the delay mode, put the time all the way down, clock at a high setting, and slowly increase the feedback of the delay to taste. It's basically a bass boost of sorts, you can get some serious low end out of it
This pedal is magical. Maybe Andy is magical, either way there is some sorcery at work here.
Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one lol
This pedal is it’s own living entity.
It’s good that he shows the pedal settings.
Now that is a fascinating pedal.
If I was rich I would immediately buy all of their pedals lol
.....If make money from music ....would that make a difference ?
I think it’s a good investment, rather than paying separately for a delay, reverb, and looper pedal.

I think I have a similar question. Can I create a cool loop and then play something else with another pedal over it? Like a standard ditto looper
Do I need this, a Count to 5, a Rever or a Tensor? Or all?
None
FDD none is most certainly the best option
If you really had to pick and assuming you already have a pedal board with a delay, reverb etc on it I would say Tensor
Rever will set you back a bit less and covers the Old Blood reverb/delay/reverse sounds. It’s a beautiful pedal that’s super intuitive to use.
skip the Rever. i got bored of it quickly.
Tensor/CT5 are different enough to justify both, though they can do similar things. I have both yet still want the Mood to see how it compares.
Wish this was on the below $200 price point but it's a cool pedal nonetheless.
so is this kind of like a rainbow machine and ct5 in one? i'm intrigued.
Wow sounds pretty cool !!! Would this work with a mic on a alto saxophone and what do they sell for ??? 👍👍👍
Mega12AX7 People put vocals through stomp boxes all the time. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work from an instrument mic in an effects loop. Direct in might even work at the cost of a little volume.

Radial makes a pedal interface for XLR mic’d sources.. that thing (and your mic) is all you need to run your sax through any pedal on the planet.
how the hell does this guy pick, Is it his thumb, thumbnail, or index finger? Been bugging me every video I watch.
Sounds nice but not necessarily $349 nice...
Insane...
Yeah like most of Chase Bliss' stuff they tried to pack to much into one pedal but by doing that weakened it overall
Agreed
I bought the Condor and returned it two days after. Chase Bliss is love it or hate it. I'd love to try another one
The Cantrell Project try a dark world if you get the chance. It’s worth it for the spring/plate/hall algorithms alone.
Is he using a pick?

But then you wouldn't have the granular synthesis.
Mono.......
I wanted one until i saw the cost, nice pedal tho...
I know why there are 26 thumbs down. Andy can’t fully demo a Chase Bliss pedal in under three minutes so the ADHD crowd is offended.
