Is it correct to assume batch 2 orders can never get the non bass mod sound? I honestly do not like the sound of the guitar AT ALL after the mod (all the added low end causes note clarity and definition to become muddy, and the lofi effect completely disappears?) still excited for mine to arrive but kinda bummed this change was forced on us after purchasing - we should have been given the choice of modded or unmodded

@@TheShadowvaultAwaits There are good reasons it's a bad idea. While the mod itself can easily be applied to new pedals by just swapping the capacitors with 0-resistors, wave soldering the switches would require a PCB redesign. Hand soldering the switches like I'll do looks real janky with eight extra wires that act dual duty as both potential failure points and noise antennas. Also those dip switches aren't cheap and Chase Bliss if anyone knows it the best.

I love the idea of lower latency but the artifacts during the tape stop are pretty rough sounding. Is there a technical reason or limitation for the artifacts, and do you foresee ever finding a way to bring the tape stop back to original 1.0 sound with a future firmware update? I’m curious how the Mk 2 pre-post changes sounds compared to the Mk 1 pedal also (if even comparable). Thanks for making excellent pedals!

Hello CB, 1st batch consumer here ... I would hope that your company would reconsider putting the burden of shipping cost on the consumer to get a 1st batch pedal to the new standard. Providing a pre-paid shipping label will be a minor cost that will affect your company's reputation in my eyes, and probably a lot of other people that got the 1st batch. This is just a logical suggestion.

I respect the ballsy move out of love for the 'majority of' customers to listen to the feedback and make this hardware mod. However, there will always be a % that preferred the first batch version. I guess we need to await more comparison videos, perhaps the difference is not even that big, or hopefully the bass version will indeed turn out to be preferred one by the vast majority. I think it was dangerous to point out what the trade off is of the bass mod (the tape stop effect change), and then not giving the new customers the chance to choose. Time will tell, but I respect the intention to listen to customer feedback!

I have to say I feel pretty frustrated with this situation... Calling this a "mod" seems like an attempt to shake off responsibility for a very poor design decision in the 1st place. A 500$ dollar pedal that cuts low frequencies even when off (in DSP bypass mode) is not at all what the majority of users expect, as your own survey showed. But now early adopters who supported the pedal from the start are forced to spend an extra 40€ at least on insured shipping to get it fixed, while everyone else who got it afterwards will get it right without spending extra money. You can say the "mod" is subjective and not necessarily better, but in that case it's hard to understand how with so many dip switches on board (most of them very unnecessary IMO) this was not included as an option there from the start. At the same time this solution will create a market for the original versions to be sold at crazy prices, since they are now a "limited edition". I'm sorry for the rant, I respect you guys a lot as a company, but I feel you really dropped the ball hard on this one.

I respect the ballsy move out of love for the 'majority of' customers to listen to the feedback and make this hardware mod. However, there will always be a % that preferred the first batch version. I guess we need to await more comparison videos, perhaps the difference is not even that big, or hopefully the bass version will indeed turn out to be preferred one by the vast majority. I think it was dangerous to point out what the trade off is of the bass mod (the tape stop effect change), and then not giving the new customers the chance to choose. Time will tell, but I respect the intention to listen to customer feedback!

@@ChaseBlissAudio I do appreciate your effort, I know you're trying to make the best of a bad situation and at the end of the day you're just human like all of us. I'm just afraid this solution is unfair for both those who got the original version and now have to pay more to get the bass cut fixed, and those who purchase based on the original sound and will now get a different version. In a way, it might have been better to leave it as it is and release a mk3 version in the future with the bass fix, to avoid creating this really tricky situation. Still, at the very least I think Chase Bliss should cover all of the shipping costs for those who have the original version and really want the bass cut fixed, considering users who paid the same money as we have are getting that "for free".

@@TheArtistisIrrelevant +1 on Chase paying for the return shipping. I received mine from the first batch, and although i'm enjoying the sound of the bass cut and probably won't be sending mine in, it would be nice to give those who jumped on the first batch the option, expense free. Especially considering the mod seems to be the preferred version.

This might be one of the dumbest revisions Ive ever seen for a guitar pedal. You had people program tape eq around a circuit that included a hi pass filter, then people started complaining that their guitar pedal didnt sound good with their drum machine and instead of telling them to just mod their pedals to work with their drum machine you now change your entire manufacturing so it doesnt at all do the Lo-Fi generation loss effect for guitar like the original programs were programmed for. You should tell all those people that you had do Demos for it take them down cause its just false at this point. Cant wait for the Reverb market to explode with the V1 models selling for a couple grand again.

Appreciate your feedback, but we felt this was the best path forward, as the difference between the high passed vs full frequency versions are negligible except on low end heavy sources. There is also an option to apply filtering to your dry signal via the "Dry Type" dipswitch, so there really aren't any sounds the high passed version can do that this updated version can't do.

​@@gregasalt5594 the analog high pass filter has relative very little effect on the total model emulation when you consider the entire frequency response. So, this low cut thing is really more of a subtle preference rather than thinking about it as completely changing the flavor or vibe of a specific model
