How to use the Chase Bliss Audio MOOD

When I test a new pedal I play with it first for a little, then I read the manual. That's why this series is called Read The Manual. We will go through all the details of the pedal because that's what the manual does and sometimes you find out your pedal can do something you didn't know. ;)
Chase Bliss Audio makes insane pedals. Mood is a great example. Delay, reverb, and something new and strange called Slip on the left. Tape, Stretch, and Envelope on the right granular looping side. This can create some luscious pads, some great reverb and delay. I genuinely love how creative you can become with this pedal. It does a lot and does it all really well.

The video is up in case you haven't seen it yet!

[@aproperhouse]

Also, I couldn’t get my 2yo to fall asleep. I made him watch this with me and he went right out. Win win! So thanks for that

[@ianpullman203]

Incredibly thorough, clear and understandable thank you 😊

[@aproperhouse]

Thank you for clearing up the modes that were complete mysteries to me.

I bought a Mood recently. This was a very helpful and entertaining video. Thanks and cheers!

[@kevwyxin]

Glad it was helpful!

Really stoked I just found your channel, thanks for these 🙏🏻

FeelsLikeSunshine I’m glad you’ve joined the fun. 🙂

[@ronfromoregon2709]

Thank you so much, I just got this pedal and I love it so much , the function of the knobs and switches was driving me crazy you nailed it!

[@kevwyxin]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

[@thatswhatkatesaid_5607]

I enjoy information that is both intriguing and relaxing

[@seazonproductions4986]

BMO Noir loves guitar pedals despite his sad expression

[@yvonnecarre1338]

Thank You, Just got this and it is very helpful to learn how to use it. only problem is I keep getting distracted by how fun it is to mess around with.

[@kevwyxin]

You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped. :) I was also VERY distracted with just turning knobs and messing around for a while. I still get lost doing that.

[@discobacon5160]

Helpful and chill

[@dorianford6227]

Both videos are great man you sold me on this pedal. I know I am late to the game but I recently started exploring the dipswitches on all my CBA pedals and man I truly now understand the genius of CBA now??

[@kevwyxin]

Yeah! They really open up a whole new world of sonic possibilities.

[@dorianford6227]

@@kevwyxin yeah man and I like that I can play one note and put down the guitar and it will generate very interest soundscapes independently lol

[@kevwyxin]

I agree!!

[@ecnofoon]

thanks very much for the video...🙏🏼 It helped me a lot......!

[@Peeziejizzle]

Yes! I just got this pedal.

[@kevwyxin]

Congrats! 🎈

[@tonesofanonymity6390]

Thanks for helping me grasp the concepts of the "Mooooood." Certainly a beast of a pedal!

No problem! I'm glad the video helped. :)

Please do the dip switch video!

[@kevwyxin]

I'm working on it! Hoping to get it uploaded very soon. :)

[@aproperhouse]

Still slaps in 2021

[@kevwyxin]

Haha thanks

[@ulftilly]

Please make a video of the dip switches :-)

[@kevwyxin]

It has been done! Hopefully you've been able to watch it!

[@ulftilly]

kevwyxin thank you! I will, right now 🙂

[@bliss3174]

Great video, how long does mood sample forv

[@kevwyxin]

Up to 16 seconds, but the fidelity lowers as you get longer sampling times.

[@AmbientSound7]

Great video! How much time can you record on the looper? Is it seconds, minutes? Thank you.

[@kevwyxin]

Seconds. I believe the longest is somewhere around 20-30 seconds but the sample rate is pretty low to record that long.

[@AmbientSound7]

Thank you! Very helpful. Maybe I will just get a looper pedal and El Capistan!! 😀😀@@kevwyxin

[@jimmygreen5872]

I see you also have a Jhs lucky cat, how would you say the delay of the mood compares to the lucky cat?

[@kevwyxin]

They are totally different. Sometimes I prefer the Lucky Cat, sometimes the Mood. Sometimes I like to use both! It’s hard to explain without too many words, but they are just very different animals in my opinion.

[@Subtle-System]

I thought that the dip switches were more than just ramping on this pedal... the effects sound very different depending on how you have the dip switches set up

[@kevwyxin]

Check out my other video on the dip switches!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

What about the middle switch on the bottom

[@kevwyxin]

That controls the two presets on board that you can save/access.

[@aproperhouse]

3:40 you know I want that

[@kevwyxin]

Part 2 is coming! It might be after the holidays though...we will see. I have a handful of other pedals to do first.

[@nortnawer]

Can i use the mood as a normal looper?

[@kevwyxin]

Sort of…but not really…if you set the micro-looping side on the right to tape mode it will act similar to a normal looper without overdub capabilities. The length of the loop is based on the clock. I believe the manual shows exactly how long the loop will be per each clock setting.

[@jhaugaard]

Came for the Mood, stayed for the tone.

[@sixtomcready3514]

Do you think this pedal could kinda mimic the belle epoch?

[@kevwyxin]

TL;DR - 🤷‍♂️ I don’t know much about the Belle epoch. With just some quick research they seem pretty different at first blush. Mood is more about granular synthesis and a crazy delay being smashed together. Belle epoch seems to be more focused on an accurate tape delay. You might be able to get some sounds like the Belle epoch out of the mood but that’s just because it’s got a delay function that I think is pretty customizable in terms of tone and vibe because of the clock.

[@sixtomcready3514]

@@kevwyxin Thanks for your response mate, much appreciated.

[@goodwill559]

If I owned this, I think I'd want to keep it on top of my amp 🤏and not on the floor 🦶

[@kevwyxin]

it begs to be tweaked so it's hard to keep it at your feet!

[@patrickmongeon6959]

This would have been helpful, except you decided to make the pedal very tiny in the shot, instead deciding to showcase carpet. I can’t see the controls at all (which is kind of important). So I moved on. Zoom in on the pedal, dude.

[@Subtle-System]

This guy sounds so bored it kinda sucked my energy levels a bit ...

[@kevwyxin]

Can confirm not bored…just concentrating. 😅 I’m working on it though haha
