Even though it is technically a delay and not a reverb, the possibilities for ambient sounds seem endless. This is the second KZbin demo of it I've seen (the other being from CBA itself, presumably another knobs masterpiece). In both instances, the dipswitches are explored more than I've seen in past CBA pedal demos, and I think that's a good thing. Gives a good idea of just how much possibility there is in this pedal. Nicely done.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much! The dipswitches are always my favorite part! Haha

[@Trentstone121]

If you'd like to get down right pedantic with it, all reverbs are technically just really fast delays. I often use delays as my reverb.

[@seanwick1076]

What a great demonstration. Thanks Emily! Chase Bliss never ceases to amaze me. Imagine pairing it with Dark Star.

[@computer_in_a_cave2730]

Dang - that was my thought exactly + Joe Stavish's drumming ---> Bowie's Black Star (RIP). Dark ... Black Star ... ish ;-)

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks Sean! I’m going to try it with the dark star this weekend!

[@seanwick1076]

@@emilyharpist sweet! I can’t wait to hear how it sounds! I’m ordering dark star after work tonight. I REALLY need to add it to my collection 😁

[@AndyDemos]

Sooo cool! Always loved that squirrelly reverse Oct up on the Superdelay. Great sounds Emily 👍🏻

[@adefrrr]

OMG PGS Andy! Likes her videos!

[@AndyDemos]

@@adefrrr Of course!

[@MistyMusicStudio]

All these great jams with drums lately! Nice trick using tiny chip clips to hold the dampening material on the snare lol. The sound you got at 04:30 is like 🤯🤩

[@jebus456]

I think those are binder clips for paper, but I do use them for chip bags too! lol

[@lexhitreset]

Thank you for digging it! And yes! Paper binder clips are amazing tools for resonance dampening. They actually stay put, and can fine tune the amount of fabric you want over the heads to really nail the drum tones your looking for. I stole the idea from Atom Willard. He does it all the time when tracking. And yes! We use paper binder clips for our snack bags too!

[@taddallman-morton6796]

You are truly awesome, Emily!

[@distor_sean711]

What a collab! Really love how they took this one mode and made it an entirely new and expanded pedal. Can’t go wrong with reverse delay ever.

[@ponaboy]

feeling BLISSful....

[@pinchelolo]

It always sounds like magic. Amazing!

[@davidcunningham5485]

I've been thinking for months what could I get from chase bliss. I think I've got an answer ❤️✨ the hype is realllll

[@emilyharpist]

Yesss! It’s tough haha they’re all so good

[@noyd4172]

It's like the pedal world read my mind and made nothing but beautiful delays with tasteful stereo spread, pitch-shifting that embraces inherent fidelity changes, flipping it and reversing it, and sets it all on a small island shrouded in fog. 🌊☁🏖🌴⛰⛈☁

[@LeoPerantoni]

What a beautiful delay. Really incredible!

[@emilyharpist]

It’s so good!

[@BatmanWangChung]

Now this is epic! Mind = Blown yet again!! 👏 👏 👏

[@emilyharpist]

Suh dude

[@DTZinatbakhsh]

Empress pedals make some of the highest quality audio stuff I've heard. Thanks for covering this pedal Em 🌟

[@BenJamminJamz]

Just being able to offset each voice is huge. Solid review with beautiful music, as always!

[@emilyharpist]

Honestly it kind of blew my mind haha. It got so fun, I’m sure I’ll show it used in a wider application in future videos!

[@Ryousake]

This is fantastic! I love all the interesting sounds :O Great demo!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!!

[@dustinmcfarland2441]

That's a really cool pedal. I particularly enjoyed it with the reverb. A M B I E N C E

Love that DFAM sound, and cool shirt btw

[@allenbogosian6455]

I think this is my favorite pedal review so far. This one sounds so cool!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!

[@marcfruchtman9473]

Very cool effects!

[@bowmoneydrums]

this is some core @Lexhitreset style drumming in this video

[@petedazer3381]

When you play through it, it sounds beautiful. For me with guitar, I would be constantly freaking out at the wide range of choices! I’m still one guitar, straight into the amp!

[@markh.6606]

I can do much of this practically speaking with my MojoHand Octaverse for less than half the money, ...but dang it's still a temptation, never enough reverse delay!....

[@onionheadguy7094]

Oh boy I'm still saving for a Mood MKII! I'll never get that cup of coffee!

[@guitarpoetone1]

Hello there ooh wee like the sound of this with the harp hmm maybe i should try it on my guitar ha?

[@PeeFunk2008]

One of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. I need one.

[@andropolonsky]

Omg!…I didn’t bought mood, yet…but i want another bliss!…never enough!..

[@NoBrakes23]

When I got the email last night, I checked reverb and the old empress pedal was listed for a not outrageous price. CB pedals are mostly too steep for me, but I love a collab and this one is so tempting.

[@Dr.Anomaly]

Emily. You make magic happen with that harp.

[@emilyharpist]

Thank you so much!

[@SantiagoGT15]

Making it stereo was a great idea, I figured I’d have to get two 💀

[@Kollapz3000]

amazing. you and the effects are just amazing. i hear super quality sound here on my genelecs

[@keithsquawk]

good to see a drummer playing the kit the right way round for a change 🙂 oh yeah, the pedal is pretty good too!

[@ArtOfSoundPedalDemos]

Was not disappointed by this reveal at all

[@emilyharpist]

Honestly it was so fun and unexpected

[@simonpark843]

I appreciate - and yes, admire - your willingness to experiment with different sounds. Your videos are always enjoyable.

[@theystoleitfromus]

"I'm too lazy" is Emily speak for "we'll fix it in post".

[@emilyharpist]

Lmfaooo

[@mitch3384]

Oh man.. that first sound at 0:32 is just like the intro to a track that was a staple on basically every 'sunday morning chill out' album from about '98 to '05. Those albums that always had something from either Massive Attack or Portishead, light trip-hop stuff. Trying to remember the name will burn a hole in my brain tonight.

[@mauriziofaggion]

For my music I recently bought a very nice EHX Oceans 12. The pedal you presented also meets my taste!🍟

[@IRIDEHARLEYS]

I really like how the Dfam, your preamp, the Minifreak and the CB Reverse Mode C sounded in your demo! But for me@8:49 Chase Bliss Reverse Mode C, expression pedal and the CB Reverb together sound heavenly. Thank you again for another great video Emily.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much!

[@andropolonsky]

Thank ya!…but….When you gonna make story about Mood2?…we need more bliss sounds!

[@emilyharpist]

I’ve shown MOOD 2 on the channel in a few recent videos!

[@bobandiara]

It's the kind of sound that I associate with 2D "artsy" indie games, such as Hyperlight Drifter or Gris. I particularly loved the shimmering sound it generates

[@jguitar23]

Love how a wild new song was concocted ◇❤◇

[@dougbeacon9760]

wow i need this

[@samday6621]

“Has anyone seen Emily?” “Oh, she got a new pedal, and is lost in The Vortex trying it out. She might appear around Wednesday.”

[@durango.j-onez]

That bass pickup sound was so cool!! Video game devs should totally be hitting you up for soundtracks Emily!

[@indigosnow_]

so rad

[@emilyharpist]

No u

[@InflatableTube]

Definitely hear some Montreal CT5 style in there. Was wondering when they’d go after that pedal specifically. Thermae was close.

[@PedalExperiments]

Yeah, definitely! It feels like all the demoers and CBA fanbois are trying *really* hard to avoid making that comparison, though. 😄

[@darionbuck4614]

Um....mood?

[@jackgooodman]

Jam at the end is insane!

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks!

[@IVARus]

Wonderful tools in a hand of a talented and gifted person:) Thanks for this review and your vision. Thinking about to buy couple of these, I also impressed by “habit”, to expand my ability in acoustic performances.

[@simonisenberg4516]

6:07 that demo was lovely. I could listen to that modulate around for an hour.

[@JOrtizDrum]

The song you built at 7:52 reminds me of being chased through Silent Hill anticipating the arrival of Pyramid Head. 😬

[@emilyharpist]

😂 you’re so right!

[@weschilton]

This pedal is so stupidly amazing. I adore reverse effects, I used the reverse delay in the Habit all the time. Looks like Chase Bliss is getting another wad of cash from me. Dammit! 🤣

[@cosmicblur311]

Fantastic as usual!

[@tovermoran4360]

Such good vibes on your channel

[@stevenlynn3942]

A short snippet at 0:32 sounds very much like Ballad of Distances. Part II, coming in at about 0:45 on The Tired Sound of Stars of Lid (2001) (only 23 years ago!)

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

The stereo spread is amazing on this. I actually had to look behind me to make sure it wasn't some noise from next door!

[@thegrimpilgrimusadeanmicha8587]

Thumbnail reads "Reverse Delay" and before I started the video, I knew Emily Hopkins was in Her heaven. You'd say she is in "Bliss" , but bliss would mean she is happily ignorant, but Emily is Highly Skilled gaining knowledge. 😊

[@loopinnerthe]

I think you should tell them to do a "buy one get one free" offer for the first 500 sold. Can you imagine the possibilities of reversing and then reversing it back again. Beautiful video Emily, you are a light that shines in both directions.

[@emilyharpist]

Haha that would be so funny - I need to get a second and try that out! Thank you so much

[@leyetnin1]

Jeepers!! Lovin' your demo. Thought I had all the delay pedals I needed, but now....dammit. Shucks!!

[@ReddenDoom]

6:26 sounded just like a Tensor!

[@floridian1054]

Super rad! This would go perfectly on that empty space on my pedal board if I had a pedal board 🥹👉👈

[@orryfishburne5326]

This sounds awesome! I got the email yesterday about the announcement. Im glad u guys got to demo it. I hope u guys get to demo the Milkman The Amp Stereo sometime soon. I would love to hear how your harp sounds through it with different pickup outputs going into each channel with each channels eq set appropriately.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much! I actually made my Milkman Stereo amp video already but I couldn’t put both on the same day! Coming next week :)

WHAT SHIRT IS THAT ITS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!

[@MatejNovakCreative]

Companies like Chase Bliss and OBNE are so innovative and inspiring, but I get so overwhelmed by their pedals. I almost wish they made versions that just had like the three most interesting sounds without all the dipswitches and stuff. Not that you can do anything about that. Love your vids, as always.
