Generation Loss MKII // Walkthrough

[@amuletsmusic]

Seriously such an honor to be a small part of this epic and exciting pedal! 🙏🖤

Broken thing!!!

[@audiosemaphore7983]

I love that this has been developed by actually studying and analyzing tape devices and their intricacies and idiosyncrasies. I've tried a bazillion lofi pedals at this point, and have never found one that matches the vibe of the Gen Loss, and am super pumped to get a mkii!! Amazing work!! P.S. - If you want to go ahead and make some "What is wow?" t-shirts, I think those would be a hit.

[@everonlyallforthee]

What's been your favorite so far, other than the Gen Loss?

[@audiosemaphore7983]

@@everonlyallforthee probably the shallow water, but it’s a totally different vibe and I would hesitate to called it “lofi”. It’s a great pedal!

[@TheTomBrookes]

I f'ing love the little wink by Cooper at the beginning!!!

[@christopherecatalano]

I had to go back and see that. Amazing❤️

[@mobdividual]

i have two different microcassette recorders, a 4-track, 8track reel, radio shack recorder, a vintage porta-reel, a vcr (and its just too damn laborious for me to use all that stuff on a regular for making music... even though thats where my heart truly is...) and grew up in the 80s listening to music on walkmans and i just cant believe how close this is to all of that AND then some - please keep this in production, guys, (as much as you can) i cant afford it right now but can save up. but there's zero chance ill be able to afford the aftermarket prices. this thing, jeez, is just everything! 🤘🏾🙌🏾

[@AndyAcker]

Same here on owning a bunch of old tape machines. I use a micro cassette and portastudio mostly, but the analogue gear needs dedicated repairs, maintanance, transport, set-up, etc. I like the idea of this mkii having options all in one pedal, in a decent form factor. Also with you on the money thing. I can't justify slapping down a $400 deposit on something that isn't guaranteed, given the demand. And the aftermarket on previous versions is so insane. Guess I'll just sit back and watch this play out, after 3 years of some version of the Gen Loss or another prominently on the wishlist. All in all, it's awesome to see this new version come together.

[@mobdividual]

@@AndyAcker well and putting it that way in terms of cost of that type of analog gear now, this is cheap! and even just as a pedal for what it does, its a great price. and yeah all in all just super glad this came together, its going to change the types of devices others make and hopefully the approach they take to making them

[@ejjes]

It's supposedly entering the standard lineup at CBA. They clearly dislike how much scalping is going on 👍

[@BinxKnightNumbers]

I have a few portastudios i use regularly but im excited to get this in the mix too. Love tape magic but the ability to control so many different aspects of the sound is tantalizing lol

[@mobdividual]

@@BinxKnightNumbers my acoustic guitar and micro cassette recorder is where i caught the recording bug; ima bust out all my old stuff this weekend. im inspired all over again!

[@stefankarlssonice]

Amazing work Tom - knocked it out of the park!

[@CoreyZ232]

I am so stoked to finally get a Gen Loss straight from the sources and this one looks so killer. Thanks for your research on the pedal and excellent work on the demo!

[@skeletal_glowers4997]

The dog side-eyeing the amp makes this video 1000% more awesome

[@lophiile]

MK1 was one of these craziest pedals I've ever messed with... absolutely beside myself I snagged an MK2 preorder... just pure genius engineering

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

Sounds so good, and good to hear synths through it. So many guitar vids that don’t show a pedal to its full potential

[@theuniverseinstereo3453]

We bought our generation loss directly from Chase bliss and have been using it in our music videos, it is easily the single most amazing pedal I have ever used in 40 years of recording music! Thanks so much!

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

Awwww! Thanks!

[@Tree_Strings]

Speechless. This is going to find its way onto alot of cool music in coming years. Incredible

[@RustyTonesJr]

Incredible pedible! I finally listened with headphones. Yikes. So many sounds. Thank you CB! At a bare minimum, this will be my new overdrive pedal. I can't see ever turning it off. I'm definitely gonna get cramps from turning the knobs.

[@jesseasch-ortiz6136]

I love that im watching a Gen Loss vid in 2160p 4k right now :P

[@Genshi]

Wow! I don't know how I missed this pedal before, but I have to get one (unfortunately I'm so broke right now.) Would make a great pairing with my Buchla Music Easel. If you guys want to send me one so I can do a demo of it with the Buchla... ;)

[@kitespongan]

Wow that would be incredible! Did you end up getting a Gen Loss?

[@Genshi]

@@kitespongan I did. Videos on my channel. Need to do better ones though to do justice to both the pedal and the Music Easel...

[@kitespongan]

@@Genshi Oh wow I’m a subscriber ha. I’ll give it a watch!

[@jt3483]

I'm so excited about this pedal! More than any of the other recent Chase Bliss pedals or any other company release really. It sounds so amazing, and I can easily understand how I would use it. Thanks for this video! I already had placed my pre-order, and now I'm just more hyped. Congrats guys!

[@allfluxedup6924]

I really appreciate your earnest approach to this video. A lot of other pedal maker videos are either straight sales pitches or trying to be ironically funny, but I'm bored by both of those and just want to hear people being real. Thank you 🙏

[@Wolf_K]

I got my first CBA pedal last week. The Gen Loss. While I’ve barely scratched the surface of its potential I can already confirm I love it. Beautifully made as well. I use it in parallel with my Zvex Lo-Fi Instant pedal (another Joel Korte pedal IIRC), the Lo-Fi Loop Junky and a RC-2 looper. The Gen Loss and Lo-Fi Instant are basically always on pedals for me. Thanks guys! PS Tom, I like the classic mode a lot as well. Thanks, man!

[@ianpullman203]

Pre-Ordered this with some excitement, now I’m over the moon excited. Can’t wait!

[@LauraSquirrel]

I am so psyched for this! The fact that it is stereo is perfect for my set up.

[@Drewmedin]

I am so stoked for that Saturate knob. You have no idea!!!!

[@TheFakeMikeLWatts]

This is really an incredible feat of engineering. Holy sheets. Thank you for creating mkII!

[@JohnWWarrenGuitar]

Very excited about this pedal; ordered it the minute it came up for pre-order. This video just makes me more excited.

[@TylorDory]

I was already happy I pre-ordered this, now I’m….. Double happy? It’s sounds incredible! Just have to make an album with this beast on every single track this fall/winter.

[@pudakak]

Incredible! Thanks for diving deeper into analyzing the tape decay and for keeping this one as a cb staple. This deserves to be used and heard for years to come. So much love for you all.

[@ChaseBlissAudio]

thank you!!!

[@RQ3S]

I have an OG Gen Loss and I've used the hell out of it for recording. It's tricky live though with the level drop out. I've missed the boat with every version since. I'm beyond stoked for this ultimate version!

[@subradial]

Amazing, can't wait to get it when available, it delivers all the stuff I always loved growing up with 8-bit computers, VHS and copied compact cassettes, I don't have it but I already feel it's one of my favourite pedals...

[@DenManTau]

This is sooo good. Well done Cooper and everyone else ! :)

[@El...Presidente]

Ahhhh all these broken sounds are so soothing to my broken soul 🫠

[@vhs.ghost__]

[@MrGeoffashley]

I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these. Beyond my music projects, this will be a perfect audio effects unit for film projects…I already know how to make the destroyed video visuals, but this takes all the audio work and breaks it down to a handful of knobs. Brilliant work!!

[@seibeltron1593]

Instant preorder! I’ve always wanted one, so stoked! Reminds me of jogging with my old Walkman when I was in high school listening to a crap copy of a copy of yngwie malmsteen… so yeah I’m stoked.

[@GrzegorzBojanek]

I can see that you can pre-order it in Euros - so it means that it will be delivered from the EU headquarters. Hope that Habit will be there, too!

[@lifecycles590]

Very cool, but one humble suggestion/request: is there a possibility of making saturation and maybe failure accessible in 'Classic' mode via some kind of button press or whathaveyou? I'm sure a lot of people would like to retain the full filter capabilities while being able to mix these in. The models are probably cool but being able to tune your own bands was kind of essential. I'm very thankful that you kept the ability to switch back to the classic type but that saturation would be so nice to have while still being able to tweak frequency bands.

[@Subtronik]

Just ordered one. So excited.

[@HenricWallmark]

Great!! Looking forward to it. Wonder what will come next to guitar tone now that wow and flutter level is competed.

holy wow, and much respect to all... just fantastic work all around

[@VitaEx]

Man you guys i do not have the money to be preordering this right now lol I mean I do and shouldn’t but insure as hell did ….. it’sits speaks to me like everything I’ve ever wanted Don’t know if you realize how much synthwave and vaporwave have take off but I’ve been begging people to make a dedicated pedal for them. Now I don’t have to this is gonna be the holy grail of lo-fi I’m just so blown away totally rad

[@jonaseggen2230]

Yes! I Wanted MK1 but when I got the money it was sold out so I bought the Warped Vinyl Hi-Fi instead, (Facepalm!, I was looking for Lo-Fi) So I sold it and got Shallow Water and later the T-120 Video Tape Echo and El Capistan, second hand. So one might think that I got enough of varble and tape destruction in my rig, (Eurorack btw) but, in short, no. Only regret is the lack of Cooper on the pedal.
