This is a pedal where the applicability in a live setting depends greatly on the user. An
Preset 11B - PHASE REVERB - We wanted to choose an interesting example that pushes the boundaries of conventional reverb. This preset does just that by basically adding a phaser to the reverberations. It is like having two effects in one. We chose to turn the speed of the phaser down a little bit part of the way through the recording, so listen for that subtle difference.
Product Information
Digital world. Dark heart.
Dark World is the first fully digital offering from Chase Bliss Audio; a unique dual channel reverb that we made with a little help from our friends. Cooper FX is responsible for the “Dark” channel; a collaborative effort influenced partly by their Generation Loss and Outward designs. Keeley Electronics crafted the “World” channel, which houses three absolutely gorgeous Hall, Plate, and Spring algorithms.
Put together, the channels can be routed in 33 distinct ways, creating a stunning palette of reverb ranging from subtle, tasteful, and lush all the way to broken video cassette, glitch shimmer, and infinite freeze.
Add all this to the dense digital control and full MIDI, dip-switch, and preset implementation Chase Bliss is known for, and you have yourself a very fun, powerful, and player-friendly reverb pedal in a small package.
Power req: 9V Center Negative ~200 mA
