Habit by Chase Bliss: A happy accident machine?

[@jeffryarchambeau5441]

I've heard that these are really sturdy. They say a habit is hard to break.

It's kind of like a Furby went to a small liberal arts college and learned about John Cage and then was turned into a pedal by the Cyberman "upgrade" process from Doctor Who.

For certain genres, this would be insane to record with

[@billbergen9169]

You record the pedal then write a song around it.

[@DingusTheGenius]

...and for the rest of the genres it would just be insane.

[@ah2347]

Chase Bliss pedals are damn near musical instruments in and of themselves.

[@danzifer]

This has to be the most strange and complex pedal I've ever seen/ heard. Unforseen potential

[@akiramenai4973]

Can't wait for the VST version. I'd buy it instantly.

[@deanivan3951]

Well in that case check out Empress Zoia if you haven't already that thing is bonkers!

[@Lantertronics]

What an incredibly clever device! I've not seen anything quite like it.

[@voornaam3191]

How do you think weird music was produced? The sounds you hear coming from cars? I think they all should install a Habit in modern cars.

[@dalivanwyngarden3204]

Why are pedals so expensive? 450€ yoo it‘s primitive technology. It’s really elitist to own pedals.

[@davelordy]

Straight onto my list of things I can't afford.

[@torinoscaletunes]

I was about to say 'I want one.' Then I thought about getting two so they could chat to eachother. How bizarre.

[@russiangoose7053]

This combined with the Generation Loss in the proper context would be amazing sounding. I can totally imagine using it to make an analog horror video

[@Knobs]

This was really great David

I've got a relative who's legit Schizophrenic, this is basically how her brain works, except the channel can randomly flip around 40 years not 3 minutes.

[@josephwright5921]

I drove a wealthy lady from New Jersey to Florida who was like that. The things she said were disturbing.

[@dr.zoidberg4313]

Don't show this to Radiohead. They'll go spastic again.

[@skarloeyexpress4353]

A pedal that's based of human emotions, it's such a beautiful idea, one that just sends a flood of idea's to my head, makes me want to learn how to build experimental guitar pedals

[@magnuslilleberg1941]

Wo-hah! This charming lil' stompy just leapt straight up to the top five on my "must buy before I die"-list... Reminds me somewhat of my old RE-201 Space Echo: It had the long version of tape loop, so badly worn you could almost see through it! Coupled with the fact that a few heads had seen better days as well, you could some times hear snippets you'd previously played re-repeat ages after the fact! 🙂

[@jenningsjennings2051]

Imagine going to your local music store and trying to tell the employee what your looking for before CB produced such a pedal lol 🤯

[@andycordy5190]

Beautifully presented. Definitely on my hit list. Thank you, David.

[@akiramenai4973]

Interesting video, but his turning the knobs started to remind me of sitting in front of a TV with a child in control of the remote. I really wanted to hear how randomly it could remix just a couple of simple chords and maybe one line of vocal if you left it going for a minute.

[@guillll]

Cool but expensive but cool. I would love to make a free version of this in Pure Data 😁

[@peppoz88]

(almost) done! Quite basic at the moment, but it's a good place where to start. There's a little demo on my channel

[@jconnon]

Ed O’Brien opens wallet.

[@Xanderviceory]

Ive never seen a pedal ive wanted so much, thanks for showing how this pedal works

[@chad832]

I'd like to see how Graham Coxon would use this pedal.

[@jonaseggen2230]

A good mix of weird and more normal. The manual also seems really good. Great presentation. I guess you used a lot of time on first understanding, then practise and test, and then make this video. Subscribed.

[@leascaart]

This has to be. one of the most fascinating pedals around. Great video, very well produced. You earned a follower today. Thanks.

[@starwagon.2202]

Reminds me of Adventure Time's OSTs sound. So, so cool

[@jonniefast]

i can do SOME of this stuff with my current board - but this really is on another level lol

[@Anamnesia]

Sold out at $399. Available at retail stores for $649... 😵🤯

[@ToriKo_]

Yeeesh

[@Taeodoestech]

There was a used thermae at my local pawn shop for 550$ lol these things ain’t cheap

[@SHTMusik]

Looks really cool but costs over 450€! There are much cheaper ways to find happy accidents such as slicing up a random loop on your DAW and experimenting with effects and/or using the FREE dBlue Glitch plugin or other plugins that randomly mangle your audio. Good luck!

[@FoivosApostolou]

"This is [approx. $500 spent on GAS] by Chase Bliss" ... brilliant pedal, as always

[@xenostim]

I hope they make a vst

[@jeffoff7795]

Awesome. I've been recording ambient tracks lately and this would be so incredible to play with

[@adecree]

I'd love to see a video game sound track made with this pedal

[@SentimentalHogwash]

If Ira Glass hosted a music production podcast…

[@standingbadger]

This pedal is fine for those who are ready for the truth about themselves.

[@lazylion420]

if Jack White isn't using this pedal, he should be...

[@DonutShoes]

I've watched a few videos on this pedal and so far you've explained how it works the most elegantly, great vid!

[@barnabywilde374]

Beatles' Blue Jay Way came to mind a lot in this video. i love "random" effects because i'm a 60s child, but half a grand is quite some coinage to this old hippie, though. Good video. Good presentation! Thanks.

[@jtn191]

The pitch shifting reminds me of Tomorrow Never Knows!

[@neekonsaadat2532]

I feel like this is an effect I've heard before, is there a name for this sound in the manual producing world where someone would have to implement the scanning effect by hand? Beautiful toy and video, A+

[@NicoMyers]

I've heard it quite a bit in the podcast Radiolab, usually with a few different voices and effects

[@exoizlyfe6079]

I see this effect in movies and shows more than music

[@geoffsprung2658]

Does anyone know what that little pink speaker is? Seems handy but I can’t find it on the internet

Unfortunately this pedal won’t be regurgitating your perfect moments and brief highlights, more likely like flipping through a stack of pictures and you see those fuzzy, in motion nonsense like a unknown patch of skin……or something

[@HenryColeHawkins]

Wow this sounded awesome and your demo you did with the vocals sounded great 👏 Like the techno band crystal castles 😃😊

[@synchronisticmelanatedmysitic]

Wow can you do a review on every Chase Bliss Pedal and with various chapters exploring each dip switch setting lol !!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 This was truly incredible! What would be cool to see is what happens when you turn the collect switch on so that you can replay all this sounds that you were making through out the video so we can remember various aspects of moments from throughout your tutorial but it would be playing during the tutorial. I dont know if that makes sense, but whatever you do...dont ever stop making these videos .. por favor

[@geoff7894]

Sounds a whole lot like Crystallizer from Sound Toys.

[@dontassumemyfender9866]

I received mine yesterday. I placed it after the MOOD and literally played for 5 hours not even realising. It's so addictive. The first loop I created wasn't very good. I was playing to much and when I started scanning, it was a complete mess. I felt that little would be more. So I played 3 minutes of swells through my nightsky and then just individual notes with it set in a basic daily. And then I just explored the modifiers and it blow me away. Early days yet, but with my little experience it's about patience and not over playing. What I wished the HABIT had was an indicator built in showing you the time you have played. It can be used as a standard delay but it would be wasted. This is about experimenting, playing chords and notes in the same key and seeing what it gives you. It's never the same.

[@EricAndre615]

This is a really interesting pedal. Kind of remind me of the Make Noise/Soundhack Morphagene module.

[@XRROW_]

Never thought I'd laugh so hard my gut hurts during a pedal review. Definitely earned my sub

[@comonhaze8940]

I think you'll find there's a video game OST that sounds like it used this effects pedal. Even though the game was made years ago, before it was ever created. It's called "Smile For Me". I recommend you check out at least the music.

[@station2station544]

Just buy this or their Blooper, or the Hologram Microcosm...and you're an instant KZbin Star and you can start begging for Patreon followers.. No talent required.. Turn on your arpeggiator, mash your palm on the keys and you have an experimental ambient track. I wouldn't call it a happy accident generator.

[@glenncitron]

[@JoshuaPickenpaugh]

I’m stealing your “guest at a dinner party” metaphor. What a great descriptive comment. :)

[@ROOKTABULA]

Basically this is the pedal/digital version of what the Beatles did: record some music, slice up the tape, and randomly reassemble and add effects to taste.

[@Johnnybananass-_]

has similiar vibes to the montreal assembly- count to five . cool for textures

[@raksh9]

This looks incredibly fun. Is there a program that simulates this process? Going through a DAW would be preferable for minimizing noise. But this opens the door for hours and hours of experimentation.

[@AD-kv9kj]

All of that yet it just sounds like an awful mess.

[@gregoryperlman8362]

Isn't this kind of like your band is playing along and midstream your guitar player stars playing another song?? Why do I need this?

The dinner party analogy, yes! That's so true.

[@zhexum]

These aren’t stereo, right? The ability to adjust the repeats in the stereo field would be pretty awesome

I assumed it was stereo from the number of sockets but apparently it's mono. Surprising for such an expensive niche pedal.

[@godu1111]

If a guitar player wants to manipulate sound to this degree, wouldn't he be better off just using a bunch of plugins on a computer ? These pedals are extremely expensive, and it`s not like you`re going to bring them to a live scenario (unless it`s some pretty avant garde genre you`re playing).

[@vincentdinatale6962]

This pedal will suffer the same fate as dodecaphonic music! Interesting but superfluous to the vast majority of listeners!
