I've watched this video several times and you played a major role in my decision to grab one too! I love and respect your work! More power! 💯🙏

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks Dave!!

[@marcobonati9110]

what amazing combo...wonderful texture, thank you

[@OoraMusic]

Glad you like it!

[@longmeaderulez]

The moment I subbed: "I don't really know what's happening or how these things interact with each other, but I don't care"

[@OoraMusic]

:D thanks mate

[@parttime_jesus]

This video convinced me to get one for myself, thanks so much! ❤️

[@OoraMusic]

:)

[@johnslater154]

I’m pretty sure (I rarely do this) that if you run your drolo side into the old blood side, when you switch drolo algorithms it will record the feedback from the old blood side so you can actually pass them back and forth :) great video thanks!

[@OoraMusic]

Yes it seems it work that way!

[@redsilverjack]

What a video 😲 subscribed 👏 you are amazing , thank you

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!!

[@externalcontrol]

nice demo, thank you...great effects !

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks!

[@TriangleWaveRecords]

Chase Bliss really makes phenomenal pedals

[@OoraMusic]

Agreed

[@patrickr6505]

Hey.. have you heard the news?..A Mood MK2 is being released!!.And one of it's features is when you switch between loop modes it doesn't stop the loop!..Also it's stereo,plus loads of improvements and changes,as well as classic mode... hope you will do a demo..

[@OoraMusic]

Hope they will send one ahah

[@patrickr6505]

@@OoraMusic How can they not?🙂

[@w0d0m]

Thanks this is a wonderful video. Please do another with MOOD and ROOMS (and perhaps a few other synths like Juno 06A for more creative experimentation)

[@OoraMusic]

More to come!

[@honeydisco]

love this

[@OoraMusic]

thanks

[@TheGreenKingdom]

Great tip on recording higher quality and dropping down! I too don't fully understand it, but I like turning knobs and finding weird sounds and loops.

[@OoraMusic]

yep, sometimes thats just the way to go!

[@weepwow]

Very nice - talking me into getting some pedals for my synth setup, all my effects are in my eurorack.,, but just picked up ZOIA, fantastic.

[@OoraMusic]

I have a zoia too and need to start using it. :)

[@weepwow]

@@OoraMusic Zoia is deep, so I'll be learning it slowly as I go. Just ordered a CB Mood pedal, thanks for your video on it.

[@Apeexp]

✨✨✨🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I love my MOOD! 😍✨

[@OoraMusic]

:)

[@roseparade.]

You are an excellent communicator! Thanks for this video

[@OoraMusic]

thanks for watching

[@tymaraist9729]

Great video! Considering picking up a MOOD soon. What kind of cable are you using you connect OP1 to MOOD? And is it going straight into an interface/mixer from the MOOD?

[@OoraMusic]

im using a mono to stereo for mood-op1, then directly in interface

[@deaftone]

Amazing pedal that i use all the time. My main complain is that i can't control level of both channels separately ;)

[@OoraMusic]

that could have been great yes

[@nikola.kovacevic]

Great video, thanks! Whilst in Tape mode, when you let it repeat without changing anything, does the loop accumulate some noise and dirtiness? Almost like the loop is degrading.

[@OoraMusic]

not sure about that. blooper has that function, i think mood only slowly fades the volume

[@montxsuz]

Very informative videos thanks. Which is your favourite between Chase Bliss Mood vs Microcosm Hologram? I watch both videos, and at the end of Part 2 I heard you say you prefer Hologram for Techno and Mood for Ambient, right? Which one would you recommend as a first step? I have been considering both pedals and am more interested in Ambient as opposed to Techno.

[@OoraMusic]

hard to say: mood is instant gratification and easier to use, but way more limited. The hologram really depends on the audio is working on, but offer lot of more possibilities. I started with Mood anyway.

[@montxsuz]

@@OoraMusic Thanks for your reply, it makes it a bit clearer. But since both are out of stock, I have 2 months to make my mind up. :)

[@triplebacon1]

so glad I found your channel I like your style! thumbs-up and I sub'd!! ;-)

[@OoraMusic]

Welcome aboard!

[@DottRaffaman]

Very Very interesting. Are they only available on Chase Bliss Audio website? For the Europe i mean

[@OoraMusic]

No clue man

[@telekhal]

Musik Produktiv sell them in Germany. I think they are not the only ones.

[@ross_ykm]

I get frustrated about mono and the complicated approach to midi but I then I play with it cannot stay mad - amazing device ❤️ don’t have Rooms but will take your reverb suggestion and will try with my Mercury7 :)

[@OoraMusic]

mercury sounds like a great pedal!

[@ross_ykm]

@@OoraMusic it’s beautiful and can confirm pairs well!

[@lilskullymane4057]

what do you have going into the input L channel of rooms at the end? looking to use these in a similar way > mono in, stereo out. thanks :~)

[@OoraMusic]

Is mono in! the other cable is the ac

[@elazarkotkes]

Hey! I'm kind of new to the pedal world.. I'm looking for an effect pedal to use with my *digital piano* and hopefully future Synth, right now mainly with Piano and Rhodes sounds. I want to have unique expression. I (aspire to) play mostly Jazz, funk, fusion stuff like Vulfpeck, Cory Wong, Scary Pockets and DOMi & JD Beck. This will also be my first effect pedal/s I buy. Budget around 250$ but I can stretch a little. Any specific recommendations? Thank you so much!

[@OoraMusic]

I usually recommend delay/reverb for firs pedal. I think strymon El Capistan covers a lot of ground.

[@elazarkotkes]

@@OoraMusic oh I see, Strymon El Capistan looking great! I'll look more into it. also, I'm interested in a very good "Harmony Effect pedal/gear.." I'll be using with a keyboard so I imagine stereo is the way to go here. Any suggestions? Is there a best option?

[@redsilverjack]

Can you suggest me on a pedal which does FILTER the best? Or can be a pedal with other effects but more focus on change the filtering? Thanks

[@OoraMusic]

I have the benidub filter ,but is mono.

[@redsilverjack]

Thanks for your reply . I ended buying the obne float and I think 🤔 I have done a good choice. Thank you for your channel you amazing 👏 🙏

[@McEnroe911]

Thanks for the nice overview. Honestly though I wonder how much range this pedal has. Every video I see of it sounds pretty much exactly the same. Nice none the less I guess.

[@OoraMusic]

It has definitely a precise MOOD, no pun intended. I love it a lot tho

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

All of the demos don't really do this pedal Justice to be honest you really just need to experience it for yourself and get creative trust me or don't I don't care I own one I'm super happy with it

[@McEnroe911]

@@LoVeAmBiEnT well I’m glad you don’t care if a stranger on KZbin trusts you or not (lol?). If you’re having fun with it that’s the important thing.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

@@McEnroe911 I wouod say that this pedal for sure needs a delay and a nice stereo Reverb after it....in my opinion.. Trust me 😉

[@inanesilence]

Have you tested Soma cosmos in comparison with this unit?

[@OoraMusic]

id love to do that!

[@inanesilence]

@@OoraMusic next week that couple will be together in my studio.

[@patrickr6505]

How do you stop the loop on the Mood?

[@OoraMusic]

pressing the right stomp

[@patrickr6505]

@@OoraMusic Thanks...

[@earlsfield]

Can you compare this to Microcosm? Pros cons

[@OoraMusic]

Pros: more straightforward, it can create unique soundscapes, perfect for drones. Cons: mono, less versatile.

[@tendingtropic7778]

your channel is bad for my wallet hah! how do you handle stereo synths through this? (or do you just choose your mono devices to go through this?)

[@OoraMusic]

i use a trs to ts cable, not ideal but works!

[@MrCowfood]

I think you may find blooper in your wheel house.

[@OoraMusic]

Got one!

[@MrCowfood]

@@OoraMusic Haven't updated mine yet. Have you rolled v3.0 on yours? If so, what's your thoughts on it?
