Anybody else living their dreams through these demos? Update: It only took five years of financial conviction and self convincing but I just ordered this pedal! My very fist Chase Bliss Pedal! 🥳

[@whiterhino414]

Yes every time every demo......

[@danteturtle]

Yep... but then I wake up and realise I’ll never have these pedals

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

ooooh yeah

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

Unfortunately :( even if I save for ever.

[@Sinesquares]

Oh definitely...

[@Josh-hq2pm]

If all of your videos were put together back to back as a two + hour film and shown on IFC, it would be one of my favorite shows.

[@jonathandalton1376]

I'd quite happily listen to a compilation of knobs demos at work or home.

[@neonether]

Make a playlist.

[@sryburn641]

Totally agree

[@jakeodell880]

I just ordered a Warped Vinyl HiFi because of this video. Thanks Knobs!

[@capferrat277]

Sounds like the snowy beach scene from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - one of my favorite bits of cinematic music.

[@johnny11895]

i came here for the earthquaker reviews and stayed because every video is so well made, seriously you're criminally undersubbed this content is great

[@andreyaek2266]

There’s a clarity to your understanding of these machines that I don’t find in the work of literally any other reviewer/demoer on the tubes. You seem to grasp the conceptual possibilities of each musical device more acutely and I always feel more enlightened by your videos than I do even by demos that seem more directly conceived to be informative. The difference is really abstract, a combination of your playing and the settings you use, but it seems very clear to me. I appreciate this greatly.

[@fatalfeast]

Just found this channel yesterday, your videos are oozing with care and amazing attention to detail. Teaching me more about these pedals than most reviews, while finding a way to bypass the boring talking and keep things interesting and somehow totally relaxing and laid back. Definitely my new favourite pedal channel.

[@Knobs]

Thank you :)

[@vincentwashum9876]

One of the best pedal demos I’ve ever seen

[@mubeenkazi90]

This almost made me cry, great demo! Wishing you success with the channel and Chase Bliss!

[@mattdrnbrgr]

I like the little OP-1 key chain thing

[@MrThatoneplatypus]

Matthew Durenberger I want one!

[@dantelerae]

I haven't heard many demos of this that I like but hearing it on a synth made me think this could be awesome with my Minilogue. sounds great as usual thanks for what yo do.

[@seriouslypeople5860]

I think I almost had an acid flashback from this demo's audio.

[@rockerguyb]

This whole video is my chill hop playlist...

[@figg_inc2668]

this is such a good, satisfying and useful channel. don’t ever stop.

[@DivKid]

"Still warped, but with a fresh needle." :) nice.

[@RobertNaik]

So many likes and no dislikes. It kinda restores my confidence in humanity in a small way.

[@brotherdon6439]

Two trolls have read this since then.

[@funkyfurballs1078]

That would be a stretch, unless a wondering Hobbit was forced to teach the trolls to read.

[@redmountain4188]

If this is what it takes to restore your "confidence in humanity" ....!!! *_*rolls eyes*_*

[@brotherdon6439]

Red Mountain what

[@SeeingColor]

Red Mountain 🏔 trolls eyes ⛰

[@miguelluna4437]

Honestly the best pedal demo video I’ve ever seen! Wonderful!

[@dillypop8358]

I'd buy a couple of these if they were affordable ($100-200) range but this pedal is definitely worth the money for all the features and stuff it's got plus ut sounds amazing

[@JdChirinos]

Dude, your videos are the coolest thing on KZbin. Thank you for making content!

[@dontknowmy_name1349]

i love this side of my youtube channel. i am new to music production and i don't know much but hey this kinda vids are AESTHETIC af.

[@Soulpuddinghtx]

I’ve been following your videos for awhile and all I haft to say is that you deserve so much more recognition among pedal enthusiasts

[@forestchild3261]

My creativity exploded thanks to combining the Moog Grandmother with CBA Mood. This will 100% be my next pedal, I already have this powerful beautiful organic sound in my head that'll go amazing with the Mood 😍 Thanks for making great videos that stir the imagination and allow us to think like this!

[@neonether]

Most Moogs have a fantastic organic oscillator sound. Almost basic, but pure. Perfect for mixing up with Mood, WV, and my current favorite, Dark World. Listening to some arps twist and linger in the ambiance is one of my favorite sounds in the world.

[@forestchild3261]

​@@neonether Good point, only in that one year since I posted that I switched to Matriarch, ergo my mono Chase Bliss setup had to go. Now I only run DBA Rooms with the synth.

[@neonether]

@@forestchild3261 I just got a rooms! Definitely my new favorite with synth!

[@forestchild3261]

@@neonether It's incredible. Though from time to time I keep considering the Sub25 instead of the stereo set, just because I miss the simplicity and CBA pedal combos. Matriarch is incredible, but at times it feels like it's too big. On the other hand, Sub25, Mood, Blooper, Thermae, Warped Vinyl and a Spectre - that would be insane.

[@neonether]

​@@forestchild3261 Yeah that would be insane. Two mono synths I use most are mother 32 and prophet 5. CBAs sound great with rooms or some other stereo at the end. If I want to run full stereo, they go straight into a stereo chorus to start with, e.g. boss ce-300, my fav chorus for synth. Oh the combinations!

[@bassNY]

This is the best video for a guitar pedal I've ever seen. I've been playing music for 19 years.

[@FernandoGomez-zx7gq]

Im at work watching this and almost fell asleep from how soothing the demo was. Love your content ive bought a TC Flashback2 and a Fender Blues Jr cause of you and i love them. Hopefully the Warped Vinyl is next.

[@jeremyrandall7228]

When it gets to the end, I feel like,oh it’s over. It would be silly to watch a video about a pedal twice just to listen to the music.

[@mr.sisleypaul]

So I just found this now and I can tell that this will be my favorite KZbin channel.

[@staticfluxforever]

New to this channel. Your demos are dead clever, mate. Brilliant and Beautiful. Many, many thanks.

[@Darkautismrising]

I know you're getting sick of my recurring comments but please let me buy an album already lol

[@Knobs]

Ha you're alright. The way I'm going about this record is just a slow process. Long way to go still.

[@eddyc4603]

@Facts Machine He loves a good delay.

[@downhill2k013]

Knobs... alright man

[@maks9589]

@@Knobs I think I don’t need a new reverb pedal but you have the strong powers to change my mind and make my wallet vanish into thin air lol. Also please teach us how to play or make music like your demos! They’re my dreams, I can sleep through them

[@G120-j6z]

Superb! (And the pedal is amazing too!)

[@anodyneinstitute]

Aw, I dearly love that grain elevator mug. I think Knobs could live in a grain elevator.

[@Knobs]

Would

[@alexmichaelides5352]

I'm pretty stoned right now, but that tone at 2:40 is just something else! Holy fuck!

[@amandacatherine793]

Thumbs way, way up for the new mitten of my soul. Chorus? This is the one. Loop this, and you’ve also got a Low-Fi Loop Junky for free! I just hope that 6 months from now, there does not come to be a new “Warped Vinyl HiFi with Yellow Knob” mod.

[@TheHeadincharge]

This is definitely going to be the first indulgent purchase I make when I graduate and start my job next year. So damn nice.

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

This sounds absolutely awesome. I have been chasing these sounds for... my lifetime. Polyanalog vco's are a step in the right direction, though even more costly than this pedal. Being disabled with no income is brutal.

[@tallthief]

Beautiful sounding pedal!

[@mattgilbert7347]

Listened to this on a continuous loop for 10minutes. I'm fully mittened.

[@seangriffey8669]

Love that sound

[@iantutzauer9662]

Great video- these CB are amazing boxes, i just dont think i would ever use them to their fullest potential

[@jonaseggen2230]

KZbin recommended "Red Means Recording" to me yesterday with a video about.. I can't remember. Anyway on his page I found the peace he did out of samples from your videos. It was so good to see it again, and perfect as an end of a year/era kind of thing. Have a great 2018 who ever you are. The Nyx sound is so great. Haven't got one but Nick Batt is right: its a Blade Runner Machine. A friend of mine got the Vangelis album for the original on vinyl, so in my opinion this pedal suits that particular synth wherry well.

[@Knobs]

A marvelous 2018 to you Jonas

[@jonaseggen2230]

: D

[@jeroenfigee]

This is so tastefully done. If this was an album i would buy it And play it endlessly ... guitar ambient that Is so inspiring ! Thanx 4 uploading and thanks ... no i have to buy this pedal! Lol5

[@ShawnStack1]

Just beautiful.

[@wingoshack]

Great, now I need this pedal and also a Nyx.

[@ZecaViana]

Best effects box canal ever. Thank you.

[@Sinesquares]

Knobs Demos change our misery into Bliss every single time...

[@davidr1620]

Chase Bliss, making chorus cool again.

[@StaticSkyTV]

Classy. Pure gloss. Shine on

[@zachariahz.3494]

I needed this.

[@s.h.y.4799]

It sounds so good ahhh

[@sinagmusicph]

This channel will be my playlist on my next LSD trip.

[@___Benedetto]

this sounds comfy

[@neonether]

Love my hi-fi. I'd also love to see a stereo version. PLEASE SWALLOW ME UP!!

[@danteturtle]

This demo gives me nostalgia for Bioshock

[@Knobs]

Ohhh neat. I used to watch a housemate play that for the underwater vibes.

[@sirmelancholia]

dante turtle the greatest game ever made. It’s a piece of art that should be in the Smithsonian and National Library Of Congress.

[@freezaxp]

This sounds so much like the gramophones in Bioshock Infinite

[@OmarCruzOfficial]

4:30 The most important piece of information in this video 😂 All jokes aside, these pedals sound incredible

[@Ergogeorge]

Damn those chords are nice

[@hariharan224]

Holy fuck that synth killed me instantly

[@jokohanggono3232]

So beauty sounds...

[@stonedapesociety5628]

So nice

[@nrvana8775]

this sounds so fucking good. ugh

[@Knobs]

Uggghhhh

[@ZooM18241]

Connan Mockasin would've loved it (if not using it already)

[@alexsawyer7313]

That serial number though! #yourespecial

[@timothymckane6362]

Speaking of that modulation, I hope Knobs will try out the Sea Machine from Earthquaker Devices.

[@RandomRhyme]

Serendipitous soundscapes, saturain

[@skriptico]

the guitar parts are soo good, also the pedal it is...

[@grgas]

i want this pedal more than anything

[@lee_at_sea]

Thanks Knobs .. more great work. You're convincing me to give Joel more money :) .. and honestly, s'a bargain for this wizardry .. this stuff is worth more than money.

[@jamisonlee9611]

i wish it were otherwise, but this pedal was so noisy i couldn't justify keeping it. it was fantastically organic and had a great sound, of course, but, you know, in case you're wondering what drawbacks there might be. it's possible that i had a lemon or that i just used it wrong somehow, but that was my experience, and it was with some regret that i returned it. otoh, the gravitas is a keeper, imo. no noisier than my old tr-2, and it has fantastic tone and depth of control. i mention all this bc knobs' demos are so spectacular, so artful in themselves, that it's almost hard to evaluate the pedals sometimes, which is by no means a dig: he's probably my favorite composer at the moment. haha. though i do certainly sympathize with some of the other comments lamenting the absence of distorted blues licks.

[@francismcfadden3305]

Weird cuz I don't hear alot of noise in this demo. What power adapter did you use?

[@Kyle-wb7wx]

Dude! I have to comment on. That tiny laser cut op-1!!!

[@Knobs]

Some anonymous saint in Toronto deserves credit for that one

[@NEOREV_MUSIC]

I'd love to see Knobs do a review/demo of the new Source Audio Ventris dual delay. All the reviews for it are guitar only. Wanna hear what synths sound like thru the Ventris.

[@galindoof]

Happy 4/20

[@sundiverca]

debating on whether to buy this and use as a univibe sound. Or the Dejavibe MDV mk 2?? Can someone let me know if the the WV can be used as a similar Univibe as well :0

[@arrangearrange]

Yes the modulation increases as you unbox.

[@BennytheDroid]

This is some next level Cocteau Twins shit.

[@am5790]

yet another unit brought to its best creative use by Knobs not for us mere mortals.

[@colinkempsell]

Last Knobs video of 2016? I hope not!

[@stillvisionsmusic]

+POORBOYRICH Colin clearly has his delay time knob cranked to maximum ;)

[@colinkempsell]

I need to work on my proofreading, wow

[@jonaseggen2230]

Colin Kempsell Wonderglue is established this year. ; )

[@StaticSkyTV]

Have we stumbled upon a wormhole?

[@AlexBallMusic]

Kevin B Haha. Or set to sample and hold.

[@mimisaiko]

that wood carved OP-1 OMG

[@freeecountryy]

Super interesting and I would get a ton of use out of it but at $500 that's fucking insane.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

Reminds me of our gal Julia.

[@gremanc]

yeah but tbh, i feel like maybe better hehehe

[@RupeeRhod]

Of course very similar in area. But where Warped Vinyl shines is in versatility and weirdness. Where Julia shines is in tasteful sounds regardless of how it's dialed. In that way they are completely opposite, and what you prefer is up to you. I myself find the Julia more brilliant because it's so easy to get the tone you're looking for.

[@fleshyspeakers]

I like this a little better than Julia and that is saying a lot

[@T-Hawkeyes]

Wow! Do you have both?

[@Honking_Goose]

M'lady Julia

[@yohalmo971]

5:09 though...... Ghad thats sick

[@geohashi]

This looks great but I sure do love my Julia... 🧟‍♀️

[@Honking_Goose]

Tbh this is a more versatile Julia but if you already have Julia and like the pedal and don't need anymore options then of course hold on to the Julia :)

[@TheDefconsd1]

On the syth GOT DAWM!!..

[@prettyfunbird]

Thanks for the thorough demo! Just curious, is that little bit at the start (0 to 12 seconds) made using this pedal? Such cool texture!

[@davidsimons1377]

I have a wow & flutter eurorack module. I wonder how they compare & if its worth getting the W/V too?

[@DrRussPhd]

A wonderfully queasy, seasick sounding pedal . . . could do some really warped Fripp/Eno stuff with this.

[@op-1g.s]

Jo? I see a little wooden OP-1 thing. Where do you get this from ? Nice video and presentation and chords.

[@oldbohemiaBAND]

My girlfriend thinks you are called "cogs" XD

[@Knobs]

That's my cousin

[@don.mauricio]

Cogollos (weed in spanish)

[@noname-ms2bb]

Can you guys do a video on a pedal called Misty Cave by Lastgasp Art Laboratories? Love the vids keep em coming

[@jt3483]

that synth sounded AhMayZing!

[@fl0yd_235]

Can you please do a video explaining how you make these? Setup/editing etc?

[@riffswamp]

errybody bundle up and stay warped!!

[@SeeingColor]

@knobs - Lovely presentation as always! I've noticed some typos in your videos however. Natural, given you're probably entering text directly into a video editor & not a text editor. Plus, guitarists aren't known for their spelling prowess. The typos in this video include: beneficiary & complement. You used beneficiery & compliment (wrong word, means something different).

[@Knobs]

Ha right you are. Maybe it's time to employ a word processor along the way.

[@majorwheelock974]

I like this pedal a lot! Does it have vibrato for a moment by holding the hold or bypass partially down?

[@The0nlymischief]

You should start making music with the pedals asap!

[@michaelaguilar524]

I'm finding out about this pedal just now in 2021. I'm dying for this. Sweetwater doesn't sell chase bliss😡😡. Gonna have to be saving for a bit. I just got a lake placid american performer start. And I want this sound soo badd

[@SPaulAndrewMaertens]

Chase Bliss are so expensive but they do sound great. That sounds like an awesome guitar! Congrats.

[@angusmustill3281]

I kind of replicated this on my guitar with a whammy bar. Its not as elegant, but the amps sound quality gives it better character. 10/10 will buy tho

[@christopherthomasrichardso9014]

Did you try Shallow Water with the Nyx as well? I own the Nyx and I'm waffling between those two. Any considerations? (thanks in advance)

[@taylorthompson8477]

Anybody know about any cheaper alternatives?

[@learnmusic488]

Very Ironic, we’ll complain that these High-End Quality Digital Pedals are “expensive” at $500 or so,.. But we’ll GLADLY pay $1000-$1500 or more for a rare 50+ year old vintage pedal- used and abused over the decades- halfway scuffed and beat up- with most of the components out of spec- who knows how many times it’s been serviced (orig components replaced?) - etc.

[@tomaszzwolinski303]

love this sound so much. would you mind sharing which mic you're using for recording?

[@Knobs]

The primary mic is an Apex 205 (ribbon), and the secondary is an Aston Origin (condenser), just to balance things out a bit

[@legatomodi3522]

:( damnit. I still couldnt afford the other white one. Or the black one. Now theres this.

[@bmitchellmusic]

I wanna know how to get the sounds at the *very* beginning of the video 😍
