Chase Bliss Dark World Reverb

Digital World. Dark Heart. Dark World™ is the frst 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 infnite 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.

Mod is a reverb inspired by Cooper FX’s Generation Loss, and is a warbly, wispy, degraded VHS emulator.

Shim is a unique dual path reverb design with infnite-style Decay influenced by some elements of the Outward pedal. In this mode, one reverb path freezes a slice of your incoming audio while the other reverb path loops back its previously frozen slice. The reverb paths switch roles (from freezing, to loop playback) back and forth at a LFO rate dictated by the Decay knob; CCW is crazy fast and CW increases LFO time.

In Black mode, audio is sampled and frozen based on your playing dynamics. When you play your instrument loudly, the previously frozen audio in the reverb loop will be erased and the newer sounds will be sustained infnitely. The threshold of this envelope-based effect is controlled by the Decay knob. The higher the Decay knob, the harder it will be to clear the frozen sound, and at fully CW the frozen sound will never be overwritten by any incoming audio.
