[@shawnshipstad9281]

You are very fortunate. I would love one of these. It is a "Bank Breaker" for me at this stage of the game. They look and function great. The whole fader this is wonderful. This is the type of item you do not let laying around casually. If these get dirty nothing but problems. Thank you, great video.

[@donaldryder5534]

I think you nailed it- works well for a touring pro who can use midi to cycle the settings through the setlist. Makes the pedalboard simpler. Downside is it becomes a single point of failure if breaks mid- set.

[@docsspeakeasy4796]

[@setheinsteiner2980]

I feel like one of these days Rhett is going to show us his day job. No, just kidding. I love your channel Rhett!

[@ColinShanahan]

I bought one and have to say it did not disappoint. It sounds incredible. It has a fidelity that needs to be heard to understand it and the operational features are not just gimmicky. The faders moving to a position gives you instant visual feedback to where you're at and you can make instant adjustments to the sound. I control it using midi so get the full feature set experience. I also gasped at the €800 price tag but now that I have one I completely understand what I paid for.

[@KristofferVad]

Great video and great track! The preamp will be a fixture in most studios I think. And agree with your point - the MIDI options mean it is just a monster in a live situation.

[@Fastvoice]

I find the sequence of the equalizer faders counter intuitive: I'd expect the bass left, then middle plus frequency, then treble to the right.

[@mikesharpsongs]

I'd love to hear more of the low end on this pedal; particularly if it can go either flubby and/or tight

[@robertallen3031]

Dude I loved that pice you put together. It was amazing. Very Quentin Tarantino killer movie track. I'm getting this pedal based on your video. Great job brother!!!! Your channel has grown on me as a go to for a real informed opinion on gear. Your playing is very inspiring. Thanks brother!!!!!!

[@andreweasombentley4703]

Considering everything it does, how good it sounds and how cool it is, I actually think the price is pretty reasonable. Even looking at it from a pure functionality point of view, the presets and tweakability are giving you a range of sounds that you'd probbaly need several 'standard' pedals to achieve

[@archie3k433]

I literally just got in my Chass Bliss Brother's pedal today... It's so good. Don't know much about this preamp pedal but I can already tell you that Chase Bliss Audio makes quality gear.

[@SteveOuimette]

Between you and Pete Thorn I'm gonna go broke with all this gear you make me buy! Fantastic Rhett, I'm a huge fan of your playing and tone construction. Just brilliant all around.

[@RoberForst]

I have the jhs color box v2. I love that pedal, but I always wish I had more because there are so many sounds you can get out of it. This is similar, but with like 9 of them on your board in a sense. Definitely worth the $750.

[@markaochoa2017]

For the price point idk if I would bring it out on the road. I love every thing about it. I can see it’s value no doubt; especially that it makes work follow seem so much easier. I’m curious to see how it holds up when musicians start touring again (hopefully).

[@tylermount86]

I have one. It’s amazing. Dropped my fulldrive, bunrunner, jhs soul food, and volume pedal out of the chain. Now my mini volume pedal is used as expression for each preset and more. Cleaned up my signal a ton. Sounds amazing and super easy to use.

[@jas_bataille]

I'm sure it cleaned up your signal... now wait until you gonna gig a lil after quarantine, if you're a fulltime player, I give you 3 weeks top before you need to have the to clean the faders. Moving faders on a pedal you gonna put on the ground and step on? Hell nah. Great studio tool, but all techs like me are cringing quite hard thinking about live use of this.

[@headbussa000]

So I messed around with the Preamp for like half the day today. It is incredible, this thing can touch overdrive, distortion, boost, and fuzz sounds. I have presets on my G2 and each one calls a different preset on the Preamp to match its purpose. There is a ton of tone shaping possibilities. Its going to be always on on my board, but presets on the pedal itself change around. So far I’m using 5 presets on it.

[@parksed24]

Seems like a killer piece for session players!

[@batman13ify1]

When are we gonna get some of those bass tones my dude?! They sound killer

[@chriskilian2325]

In my own experience, and having owned and sold/return three chase bliss products, I think this is another incredible desktop/studio product designed for the producer at heart. Not a pedalboard or musician product. CB pedals come with a huge regret factor, and you quickly realize that beyond two things they won't serve u and then the regret intensifies like crazy. This one is no exception, and at that price point I would say avoid at all costs UNLESS you are running a studio, then this is a priceless tool.

[@Dartheomus]

I completely agree, except for the last statement. It's an interesting tool for the studio, but not priceless. There are a lot of other ways to do what this pedal does, and I feel like those methods will be much more reliable in the long term. This pedal looks very breakable. If you want the ultra-modern wow factor in your studio, that's what this pedal sort of does... though the aesthetics kinda look dated, like early 2000's gear. The tones this pedal creates are good, but I think there are better ways to achieve them.

[@chriskilian2325]

@@Dartheomus I was trying to end on a nice note for CB😂 I like Joel. But you are right, this pedal could never replace a solid fuzz for example.

That’s one cool pedal. Remembering seeing that at NAAM.

[@aaronsplan3089]

You have quite a few very cool guitars. Would be a cool video to see you go through them and share a story on how you got each.

[@zosojstro]

Your demos are always well thought and sound great. I think the price is fair since it could potentially replace 3-4 pedals but don’t think it’s for a gigging musician due to possible fader damage from beverages et al. It is great for the home player who wants to simply their rig. The 5watt world guy should be jumping all over this pedal.

[@leevitalone]

So I bought this pedal direct as a b stock item, and have it dedicated on its own to Fender Twin Reverb until I can afford a 78 by bliss also. It is so dynamic with options especially adding a Morningstar MIDI just to geek out. I would never travel with this, but to have it dedicated it is great special, remember it needs a 500amh power source to function at 100%.

[@RC32Smiths01]

If it has a diverse tone range, that's really good and rather versatile. I don't know about the price range, but it's definitely something I'd try out for a more affordable price.

[@benjaminturcotte7620]

Check out the Analog Drive made by Elektron... if you can deal with the center-positive 12v at 1A power requirement then it could be worth giving a shot. Could probably find one on reverb or somewhere like that for 1/3 of the price of this.

[@shadoecrossland5457]

@@louderthangod They could go away from motorized faders. That was save a couple of Benjamin's right there. This is obviously meant to be a premium product though.

[@Braves76]

Love the innovation and creativeness. I’ll admit I’ve been a pedal junky since the early 90’s. The past few years have been somewhat repetitive and boring with exception of a handful of builders. Nice video, Rhett. Interested now.

[@tylershaw3968]

One important consideration is looking at the cost of the pedals this replaces - If you consider that it's a Benson Preamp ($250) combined with a Chase Bliss Condor ($350) plus a fuzz (let's say $150 or so) you're already there. Add the fact that it can give you boost or overdrive sounds that you would typically need more pedals in the $90-200 range to get those sounds and it starts to look better. Additionally there's things that are impossible to price, like the presets and midi control, expression control, and while it's a large pedal, it's also going to take up less space on your board than the 3-5 pedals this is replacing, which is incredibly valuable to me since I don't want to lug a pedalboard the nice of an aircraft carrier to gigs. 100% this is not for the beginner. It's for pros who understand the versatility this pedal can bring & know what sound they want out of it. Mine arrives tomorrow - planning on it replacing my preamp & two fuzzes I currently run, not sure I'll be able to part with my beloved Lightspeed tho, gonna try and see how gain stacking the two goes :)

[@sanamsingh3297]

RHETT, I have to admit your past tracks in these kinds of videos were pretty standard cool stuff BUT, the track with the cowbells, seems like your getting more creative making these cause that sounded GOOD, loved the percussion

[@t.michaelbodine4341]

That's very slick. The diode selector is way innovative. The faders moving themselves would scare my cats though.

[@katherineryan9971]

The drums on that track are really great. What are the loops called/where are they from? Cool pedal too. Seems to be really worth the price IF you have that kind of cash to burn which isn't most if us these days. :)

[@rickc2102]

My interest was piqued at the thought of a midi-capable servo-actuated eq. The fact that it's also got various tasty dirt, too, puts it firmly on my "eventually, because of cost" list. Really liked your track you created for this, too, very Black Keys.

[@VoeWang]

Would be interesting to hear how this pedal sounds directly into power amp. If it gives you a great tone that way, it could be an additional selling point.

[@JakeBisognin]

I think this pedal is dope, love the console feel of it! It's just too expensive for me at the moment, especially when all my gigs have been cancelled until further notice :/

[@francois5304]

My first thought watching the video was: this is a studio pedal. It's worth the money if it's the only dist/od/fuzz you need and it looks great as a table top fx. Or for session players in studio: again, you don't have to carry loads of pedals to get the tone the producer wants, and that's great.

[@DamnedEyez]

I wanted it after seeing Paul Davids' video, this made it moreso... it'd certainly be an easier decision if it was available through some place with interest free payment plans, which does sound odd for a pedal.

[@oliveiradavigustavo]

I would like to see how it behaves as an amp in a pedal thingy, if you would use it as the pre amp and a cab sim/ir loader, and go straight to the interface or a PA... that's where I think it sits, a ampless pedalboard, very travel friendly.

[@RobPierce103]

Sounds amazing. I couldnt purchase another pedal with faders, i accidentally let a drop of sweat right into the fader of the Doubleland Special and it almost ruined the pedal 🙁 this may have a better system to keep that from happening but its always in my head now haha

[@philotomybaar]

I love Chase Bliss and all of their pedals, but since I already own a Source Audio EQ2 and a CB Brothers, I don’t think I could justify this. Super cool though!

[@Daphoid]

It’s multiple things in one. I have the same thoughts about the eventide h9 max. Pricey? Yes. But go buy a good reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, etc and see if combined they’re about the same.

[@joekyleboston]

Hello Rhett. Thank you for this. That preamp is a bit down the road for me. But quick question about the Revv which is on my radar. How are you getting along with the Revv? Maybe a follow up video to let us know? Thank you, Best, Joe

[@davidf8749]

You could get an Eventide H9 or a Line6 Helix stomp for less money. These may have more going for them than a pre-amp/EQ/fuzz pedal. If you have the other FX covered, then this would be the icing on the cake as it does sound good.

[@mattc1176]

I get it for the studio or at home. Flying faders on a pedalboard for a tour however, is completely crazy. I don't want to be relying on something that could fail on me if it gets a rogue knock/kick/splash of liquid. In that scenario having 3/4 small boxes to replace it is blatantly a better option.

[@Joec9t]

Cool video, I really enjoyed the fact that you incorporated its functionality into each different guitar part, brilliant. Whilst it sounded great it’s out of my price range unfortunately. Great video though.

[@TLMuse]

Rhett, I really dig the track! The chord riff reminds me a bit of jam in The Beatles' "The End," but the overall tonal vibe has a bit of a surf tinge to it-like if Dick Dale showed up for the *Abbey Road* sessions! 8-) As for the pedal, "Who is this pedal actually for?" is exactly the question that came to mind when I say Paul Davids's review of it. I couldn't come up with a good answer; you kind of did. A key phrase for me regarding your own anticipated use is at 17:59: "It's something that can sit on my desktop...". I can't imagine wanting motorized faders on a floor pedal. In my home studio, I'm amazed at how quickly dust accumulates on my pedals. On a gig, well, the kinds of places I play at are cafes and rooms without a raised stage, with people coming and going, and my cables and pedals need cleaning after every gig. It seems to me motorized faders are begging for trouble in a floor pedal. Why wouldn't sealed encoders with LED rings do just as good a job, without the mechanical Achilles heal of a fader slot and half a dozen servos? (Not to mention the added expense.) -Tom

[@RobFlaxMusic]

Good questions... but by all accounts they tested the heck out of them for durability. I think they're about as sturdy as a footswitch, based on the Chase Bliss videos I've seen.

[@Telorchid]

Watched this video when it came out. It popped back in to auto play after I watched your Night Sky demo...a delayed counterpoint came to mind: ‘You could buy a really nice pedalboard for $750.’ Yes, but given a compact MIDI controller, how many pedals could this replace? You don’t need multiple pedals for multiple settings, you don’t separate OD, fuzz, distortion + clean boost pedals. Of course there are legitimate pushbacks to that kind 1-dirt pedal setup. But the flexibility of that 1 pedal not just in range of sounds but save-able and accessible presets is impressive.

However, there's always bias seeing as they're the ones selling it, so take it with a grain of salt I suppose

[@kebbinator]

I’m pretty sure these are digital controllers and not analog faders, kind of like what you find on automated fader controllers like my Avid Artist Mix. They may eventually get sticky, the motors might wear out or they might start incorrectly registering their position, but since no audio passes through them they won’t get noisy or scratchy like analog faders can on a console. (a couple of the faders on my Artist Mix have worn out motors and feel a bit sticky, but only after 10 years of fairly heavy use) In saying that, I actually find pots on a console to wear out and get scratchy and noisy just as fast as the faders, so it really is a moot point and applies to any analog pots (not digital pots like you find on Strymon type pedals) on a pedal.

Great demo! How do get your drums? If I were recording and touring and wanted a small piece of gear that could reproduce a ton of sounds easily, it replaces a lot pedals? Matched with a couple of midi time based pedals you would have an amazingly powerful set up that you could pack onto a carryon bag. Though to be fair The Strymon Iridium could function pretty similarly with a couple of OD/Fuzz pedals? Maybe? This pedal seems to have incredible Tone shaping abilities? All of this more than I need right now. But, great to think about if I start recording stuff?
