[@bartbakker742]

ridiculously long??!! its ridiculously short!! I need like a 3 hour version just to fall asleep to. its so good!!

[@j.3451]

TRUE

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

100%.

[@johndrowe5281]

I would like three hours of explanation… All of those DIP switches on the back of the “Bliss“ pedal would seem to have a very steep learning curve.🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️. 🎸👨🏼‍⚕️🎸. 🫶✌️♾️. WANT the “PreAmp MK II”! Thank you for sharing …

[@justincrossmusic]

7:06 quite possibly the most beautiful ambient swells and progression I have ever heard. Played that back quite a few times now and *chef’s kiss*

[@michaelwashere]

Your ambient stuff is the best. More of that would be excellent.

[@pedroribeiro3827]

I really want a Ambient album from Rabea to study all the songs and how to get the ambient vibe

[@aaronlawson203]

The pure shock in his face when he turned that mood pedal on. Just the pure woah this is 100% a mood. Then seeing his eyes widen love to see it

[@Andreas_tropicalwinter]

It has been said a lot lately, but it's such a good time for making music today with so many unique pedals. When I saw you playing I've got reminded of myself when doing so...just drifting away in that warm bed of ambience.

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

That was some beautiful playing and soundscapes. Easy to get lost in what you were doing. Thank you, Rabea

[@themikepage23]

I could sit and listen you playing like this all day. Great vid, always enjoyable seeing people messing around with pedals.

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

Mate!.... The 'fro... It's majestic!👌

[@IStabz]

great tones! great playing!

[@Inlay76667]

Man that was such an amazing journey. Thank you

[@RaddDadd29]

Sounds so amazing man! You're playing never ceases to amaze me Bea!

[@rolandguilford8301]

Fantastic all round!

[@MauricioCosta89]

Amazing Sounds! Would love to see a full vídeo on the Chase Bliss Pre Amp MKII :)

[@TraneFrancks]

Really vibes like a soundtrack. Sweet stuff, Bea.

[@paulbellamy2810]

Bloody amazing. I could listen to that for hours. Even better, you've given me endless ideas to try out for myself. All I need is the ability. :D

[@Vexl95]

Love all of these! Thank you so much for taking a look. Pulling the trigger on a Gen Loss MK II now. also.......first

[@noahbizer7040]

Hi Rabea, I have been watching your videos for the last few years and gotta say, this one is by far my favorite! Your playing is just fantastic and gives off such calming and ambient vibes. Really enjoyed it and would love to hear some of these sounds on a new album! Thank you

[@ChrisB-lt6hp]

As always Bea super review and insight. I think the unpredictable nature of the output from chase bliss pedals is both wonderful and a slight headache if your playing live sets. But they are an inspiration and the world is a better place because of them. Do love those pickups.

[@nicolasgullstrand9741]

Truly enigmatic!

[@jiuiji8559]

you never fail to inspire

[@ziggystewart1]

Some fab sounds 🎸👍

[@andrestrat]

insanely good to my ears....

[@jimmyx4599]

Excellent bit of toneage Rabea..

[@TheMrMulligans]

Killed it as always my friend. You “crush” the ambients. 😂

[@jimmyx4599]

Looking forward to every video you make your music is amazing best of luck always.

[@Gnomesaw]

Ive been going down the Chase Bliss rabbit hole lately too. Super inspiring

[@josuastangl7140]

11:02 Thanks, I needed to hear this chord progression again. It's been quite a while

[@NestedRealities]

Such tasteful, musical playing. As someone who typically avoids metal, I really enjoy your videos. Also, the fuzz tones are massive.

[@GitShiddy]

That must have been a fun Sunday afternoon (or whatever day of the week it was). Still think taking a punt on the Mood mk1 during the launch of the mk2 is the smartest pedal purchase I've ever made. What a unique & inspiring circuit the Mood is. Hurls you to another planet of your playing, irrespective of whether your are playing or not.

[@FIN_Der-Otter]

some of my favorite pedals (the blooper being my favorite!) you should give them a try on synths - incredible!

[@cliverkay]

I have the Automatone and it has made all my OD pedals redundant ! It is so good at making any tones that I need I use only that and a few delays and Reverbs and that does me 100 per cent .. I cant recommend it highly enough !

[@PhillipCalvin627]

Great jams and tones as per usual, Bea. Some more pedals to check out if you are really digging this might be the Shallow Water and Maude by Fairfield Circuitry. A chorus/vibrato and delay respectively and from IMO one of the most underrated ambient pedal makers. The NU-33 Lo-Fi Vinyl Modulator is also stellar af. If you want to check out more Tape Effects, the Anasounds FX Teacher Preamp and the Recovery Effects Cutting Room Floor are also amazing. Would love to see you check more of these pedals out.

[@DarthV506]

Crazy cool pedals and playing. Hope the NDSP guy will light a fire under the dev team to come up with some cool "out there" effects for the QC someday. The CBA stuff is prob out of my price range, but tons of cool things out there like the Lore or csdiman for quirky/atmosphere!

[@soundhealer8661]

Around 14:00 until 15:00 the sound is amazing 😮

[@mutabor74]

🔥🔥🔥

[@samuelgiovannipaparella]

Impressive playing as always. I was just trying to figure out what kind of chords you've been playing and I was thinking about if you can do a lesson about chords that you use frequently. Mate you're just awsome anyway... 😁, cheers.

[@TuckerCustomShop]

We’re just going to start calling it AmBea. Its perfect. Thats the style. Thats the sound. AmBea.

[@patrickr6505]

Mood 2..king of Ambient pedals..

[@kyleingram8857]

If I could somehow instantly play like anyone, it would be Rabea. So good

[@kjylha]

i have few chase bliss pedal. just love that brand

[@KoaCharvel]

I definitely love their pedals, my wallet, though, not so much. I would love to own a few in the future.

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

Amazing sounds! BUT you totally missed the mp & forte mode on the cloudburst... That part would have taken it to a whole new stratosphere.

[@LawtonChiles]

Cool board -mind if I ask what brand? Killer tones and walkthrough. Thank you

[@Fz3ro]

Generation Loss, so Boards of Canada with out the synth!

[@smmyers5956]

Nice sounds man! What music projects ya have goin these days? Haven't been keeping up.

[@stu_y]

Jesus this video is going to bankrupt me - so many good pedals to get!

[@GH-rj7xc]

This is me begging you to make an ambient album.

[@bobisadrummer]

3:25 looking like Pedalboard Bob Ross.

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

SON OF A MOTHER ! 😮

[@40spinup]

If Slow Meadow played guitar! Amazing

[@IamMusicNerd]

All their pedals sound amazing. I love the Automotone, but the others are too complicated for my simple brain. :)

[@MarcusMoji]

Love the wooden board - does anyone know what board that is?

[@ericskinner7355]

You are a talented player, but I really like your ambient side.

[@gippafortunato]

Congratulations! Can I ask you for some advice? I have Mood chase bliss Ma and I want to connect it with another pedal, what settings should I put? Individually it works, but for example with a chorus it doesn't output the signal? I don't understand what to do, do you have any advice? Where can I get information? Is there a link, dedicated blog to understand the right connections? Thank you 🙏

[@mattw.6726]

Those pedals sound great together! I really need to look into the Mood Mk II and get a better feel for what it does so I can determine if I might want to get one. With regard to the Strymon stuff, it doesn't look like you played around with the Cloudburst's ensemble mode much. Would love to see/hear what you'd do with it on an ambient track!

[@Gibson1976uk]

Mood MK2 rules

[@GigglePantsMcGee]

Mood and Gen Loss are my two favorite pedals I can't afford at the moment. I literally havent bought my partner a ring yet because I want these first...

[@jonholland6067]

Careful! A pedal can’t provide what a partner can. At least not as far as i know. Chase bliss perhaps has other ideas? Pun intended

[@patrickr6505]

Meh get married to the pedals..they won't boss you around 😮

[@jfo3000]

​@patrickr6505 Nor will they divorce you and take half plus.

[@patrickr6505]

@@jfo3000 Ha..I know!!

[@robertdahlstrom]

So that's how the Abomasum riff goes. Finally figured it out!

[@DelScully]

bro copped the Pedalpartners video effects.

[@wheelsdetroit8608]

What tunings did you use?

[@DelScully]

does anyone know what tuning Rabea is using in this video?

[@jfo3000]

Sure seems like his 6th string is down to G! At 16:32 he plays a big A major chord shape that sounds out as G Major. I think strings 1 through 5 are a whole step low. String 6 is all the way down to G. Super low drone-age with this tuning.

[@marcusstirling1385]

Bea just wrote a Radiohead song in the intro clip lol

[@gohamm8629]

Need you to megadose some stimulants and do an 8 hour ambient video. Deal? Cool, thanks.

[@2ndEditionBryce]

Rebae on acid might produce the best ambient music that has ever been put to tape. Maybe not great for his longevity though. 😂

[@jeffallen3382]

How many delay pedals does Strymon have?

[@adamb6112]

Yes

[@nfsforever1989]

Музыка для любителей расширить свое сознание :). Специфические педали, на любителя так сказать.

[@masterofreality230]

You almost have to put the Gen Loss after a verb or delay because they tried to put analog dry through on an effect that wont work well with a guitar signal and sound right. Try Some Electronic Audio Experiment drive pedals Rabea!

[@RubyRoks]

The best pedals are the ones that play themselves if you mess with the knobs enough lol.

[@Tomtoms-tomtoms]

In fairness, Rabea could plug into a box of cornflakes and sound like Hendrix 😅

[@bignikoli]

6l6 or el version of the amp?

[@RabeaMassaad]

This is EL34

[@bignikoli]

@RabeaMassaad legend, sounds sick

[@iosifkalpaktsoglou2045]

Give Rabea a metal zone,sit back and enjoy. Take away his chase bliss pedals, give them to collector emitter, sit back and enjoy.

[@jakesechrist]

I don’t think a pedal has ever been named something so accurately.

[@RabeaMassaad]

My thoughts exaclty hahah

[@dcastillogzz]

Yikes
