Chase Bliss Automatone: Best Fuzz Tones I've Ever Heard!

The Automatone can do Fuzz like no other! You definitely need to play through one.

Killer playing, and awesome fuzz tones!

Thanks David, it's gnarly!!!!

Man right at 2:19 even with the gain all the way down that’s a ridiculous fuzz tone. I love King Tone fuzz pedals and Analogman, Pedal Pawn, Hudson, the Golden Fleece was awesome too ( the Berkos I haven’t been able to find but that pedal is awesome ) and all the great companies that make great fuzzes but there is something different and it this one. Could be all of the options but it seems to hearing a grit and a sustain I am not used to hearing on other fuzz pedals. And then gain all the way up was sustain all day long. Crazy. I don’t know if you played the CXM Automatone yet but it’s just as good or maybe even better than this. It’s the best reverb I’ve heard and/or played ever. Really digging this channel. Simple and without all the salesmen stuff.

Thanks Jordan! I try to just have fun and find stuff I dig. Next demo is the Chase Bliss Mood!

[@Guitavatar]

Well done. HNY. Glad I found your channel!

[@markhopkinsmusic]

Thanks so much! Welcome to the squad Plexico!

Man, the volume all the way up is a crazy amount of boost! I couldn't pull that tone off with an amp on stage. (well, usually, the volume being what it is in clubs at least)

[@markhopkinsmusic]

totally! it's a killer pedal though!

12:05 I agree, gotto know what your doing to appreciate this pedal. Very flexible. Play with strong midrange first, the gain/fuzz bring bass on its own (turn off the bass), especially with fender combo type of amps.

[@markhopkinsmusic]

After months of it being off my board it's back and I sold basically all my overdrive pedals. This thing can do it all! I am thinking about getting a Morningstar to control it so I can more easily jump to presets

[@Haku_records]

You are cracking me up with this pedal. You love this thing!!

[@markhopkinsmusic]

Last one, I promise haha

[@Arby82]

2:36 The lick! Sounds really good.

[@markhopkinsmusic]

Thanks Rachel! Every now and again I have to make myself laugh 😂

[@jayl5941]

Wow great demo and tones. What string guage do you use to set up the tele in C standard? It sounds unreal with that fuzz!

[@markhopkinsmusic]

thanks so much! big ole strings 16-62 but they feel great that low. Thanks so much for watching and engaging!

[@marcelopm3]

Great video, good playing and tone! Do you think it could replace my Chase Bliss Brothers (I use for boosting my amp, overdrive and fuzz) and my Zvex Fuzz Factory on my pedalboard? thanks

[@markhopkinsmusic]

I think if you are into using midi you could totally get those tones with this. I haven’t gotten into Midi yet so I am using it at half of its potential. It’s absolutely killer - some of the best fuzz sounds in my arsenal.

[@bigideaslittlefocus1154]

That first setting is it for me. Oh man, is there a cheaper fuzz that does that out there??

[@markhopkinsmusic]

Their pedal “Brothers” has some of this on tap too! Check that guy out as well. But man this thing is hard to beat. Josh Smith and I were geeking about it on the show and off the show haha

[@joshua0226]

Do you prefer this over the Kingtone Jesse Davy mini si fuzz?

[@markhopkinsmusic]

I love both of them! But this one is so versatile in terms of tone shaping. Just different beasts really. If money is no object I’d go Automatone but I kinda lucked into this one for cheap, otherwise I probably wouldn’t own it haha
