For a long time I thought that MOOD was just a one-trick granular-youtube pedal, but this manual really shows how vastly versatile it is. Even with just the wet channel you get an incredibly varied verb/delay/modulation machine!
You have a point, but Behringer also makes pretty decent stuff with a price point that’s probably 1/5 what chase bliss pedals cost. I am a regular dude. I LOVE effect pedals. Especially delay based ones. Chase Bliss blow the competition away when it comes to delay pedals. But I know I’ll probably never get to own one. And that can be a bummer. Mind you, they deserve every penny of it. But it is very much so out of a lot of musicians price range.
i've watched the first 4 minutes of this video about 10 times and every time I get completely distracted by my Mood MkII pedal and go wandering around on my own for hours…
@@pepejul I pre-ordered a couple hours after they announced it on launch day. I know they said in an email some people may get it summer time but I don't think it'll be that long.
So glad to see this pedal go stereo, looks awesome. It's too bad though that a lot of loopers seem to support up o X4 faster playback modes instead of X4 slower or -2 Oct down, this is where some magic can happen imo, but rarely do I hear nice sounding material at X4 faster.
Hey y'all, love the video! Just bought my Mood MK2. Can't wait. Quick question - what brand cables do you use in the video and where can I buy them? Thanks!
Im pulling my hair out waiting for mine to get in. It doesnt come in until late afternoon tuesday. Thats 4.5 days away. Its to long to wait. By the way i have to give a shout out to chase bliss. Best customer service from any company ive dealt with. Any issues you run into they will take care of it for you
I just got an email saying they're being shipped. I figured that mine would have been shipped too then. I placed my order March 15, 2023 at 11:12am Eastern Standard Time. That was 12 minutes after the release. I hope I didn't slip through the crack. My order says confirmed, but it still says 'Pending Fulfillment'.
You will receive a shipment notification as soon as your pedal ships! If you don't receive a notification by the end of next week (4/28), shoot us an email at help@chasebliss.com and let us know!
@@ChaseBlissAudio Awesome! I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for your reply! I get that you probably got quite a few orders in the first 12 minutes, so I'll be patient. I just got a bit worried that my order may have slipped through the cracks. Chase Bliss is my favorite pedal company. I own more Chase Bliss pedals than any other brand. I own 8 of them, and I hope to own them all someday. Thanks again for the reply! It's very much appreciated.
I love this but, I have a red panda tensor so I dont need a micro looper, a meris lvx so dont need delay, a gen loss mk2 so that covers all tape needs, and a zoia for crazy stuff. However, I still want an OUTWARD V2 but as a chase bliss pedal, and a really nice reverb pedal with a nice spacey reverb. Yes the Zoia can do crazy granular delays, but reverb? Meh.
Hold on a second... I haven't kept up with Chase Bliss (or many pedal companies) in about 2 years now. Did this guy say _STEREO??_ Did I hear that right? I remember when that word needed a trigger warning before use around Chase Bliss personnel. Nice!
Quick question: are the deep switches (and hidden options) saved in the presets? I mean, if I engage deep switch A and save that in a preset, is it going to be engaged when I use the preset even if the deep switch A is no longer active?
thanks!... it's not that the pedal is complicated... I think it is because I'm a bit stupid... or slow... I really want to know as much as possible before i play around with it any more... im going to have some midi questions in a while... I think I'm going to have it on a table and press the buttons with hand rather than foot like @Jorb does... 'cos even though I'm a guitarist i can see that I'm going to want to change the knobs real time... or automate them via a midi controller... @@ChaseBlissAudio
Generally, mic signals are a little too low to be processed by pedals straight out. We recommend using a mic preamp before MOOD. The Rolls MP13 or ART TubeMP are both pretty affordable options that will also give the option for 1/4in unbalanced output to interface with pedals after.
Okay so I'm an idiot. Can someone explain this probably simple concept to me...the output of the TRS cable on the Mood, what is it going into that is able to give a stereo sound from a single input?
@@ChaseBlissAudio Great, I got loads of those. I need a special box to use midi clock sync though, is that correct? ((it remains to be seen whether there is any point having Mood clock synced though).
@@PhilippeGiron You can use a chase bliss compatible 5pin - TRS cable, but using these sometimes you can get a cable wired incorrectly or it intrdouces noise since it's not opto-isolated. The MIDI box just removes headaches before they happen.
Smooth clock, overdubbing on looper, you can switch looper modes without dropping your audio, no clock noise, longer loop lengths, MIDI clock sync, and more
@@ChaseBlissAudio Would be cool to have spillover on the Wet Channels modes..but don't know if you could technically do it?...Also tap tempo .Other than that I'm nitpicking..the amount of new and improved features are amazing..well done guys🤘
@@ryanworthley4555 Oh yes I know about the trails option.. Ok my hunch was correct,it's not possible for effects spillover.. Cool about Midi tap tempo..will surely implement it if I hook up midi on it.. cheers.. Ps:Do you know if Ping Pong will work if you are running a stereo pedal into Mood 2?..I am planning to have it second into my stereo pedals...
@@patrickr6505 how wide the spread is with an incoming stereo signal is determined by how wide the signal is the begin with. So to get true left and right ping pong with a stereo input source the pedal will need to be feed a super wide sound. Mono in with the MISO and SPREAD dips on will give you left to right ping pong sound.
We recently switched to a direct-to-consumer model. No retailers will have MOOD MKII stock unless someone has sold theirs already. Any orders placed from today on are expected to ship within 4 weeks until we get caught up with preorder fulfilment. If you have any further questions/concerns, please reach out to help@chasebliss.com Thanks!
what part of the pedal chain does this unit work best? Pre or post dist/OD? If it’s a relative to other modulation types then I would presume it’s probably best at the end of the signal chain right before the amp..
@@LoVeAmBiEnT I know right?.. Because Ping Pong is technically a mono signal.. just manipulated into offsetting on both channels..as far as I know..I stand corrected if not...
@@patrickr6505 Ping pong does still work in stereo, though slightly differently. The echoes will match your incoming panning depth and use that to set the width of the ping-pong effect. It's pretty dang useful because hard-panned sounds will give you that wide, dramatic swing, while sounds that are panned more gently get subtler stereo movement to match.
MOOD MKII does everthing MKI can do and more, including but not limited to: smooth clock, overdubbing on looper, you can switch looper modes without dropping your audio, no clock noise, longer loop lengths, MIDI clock sync, and more
"Thank you for your response. I have another question: MKI sounds warmer and more like a vacuum tube, while MKII sounds cooler and more electronic. Is this true, or is it just my impression?"
I wish all pedal companies made video manuals. This is so great. You guys are really top notch.

Second only to Dan
"do not introduce pitch shifting"- beautiful words and thank you! buying one
Such a beautiful and well explained demo of a gorgeous pedal. Thanks for this!
I got mine in the mail today - a true masterpiece. I can't stop playing with it.

I really love this pedal . As a user of the old mood and Generation Loss, this new member shines itself!
Thanks for the tutorial video. I just got this pedal. I love it so muchhhhh. It’s just a little intimidating. A lot to learn.
I have to get one of these now. Great job CB, OBNE, and Drolo!
The mood is actually the pedal that got me into pedals in the first place
I love Chase Bliss so much - thanks for making these magical little boxes
Thanks, Matt. This the second pedal I bought after watching one of your videos. Awesome presentation.

The Slip Mode goes 2 octaves down in forward and reverse..plus the clock knob can get VERy slow textures on the 3 to 4 lowest settings..

Oh no! Yet another pedal I might have to get . . . this is becoming a serious addiction, but this is a seriously interesting pedal.
This pedal is definitely not made for folks like me who just need a solid bass tone. But I can’t wait to hear what music people make with this thing.
This sounds really special!
Hold on a second... I haven't kept up with Chase Bliss (or many pedal companies) in about 2 years now. Did this guy say _STEREO??_ Did I hear that right? I remember when that word needed a trigger warning before use around Chase Bliss personnel. Nice!
Because people kept asking for the analog pedals to be stereo in the same size pedal which is physically impossible.
is there going to be a max for live device for this pedal like the gen loss got?!
Yes! It's being made right now
Wait! Did you get rid of all the noise that occurs on the Mk 1 when the clock is set low? I always felt like it became unusable much below half.
yup
Quick question: are the deep switches (and hidden options) saved in the presets? I mean, if I engage deep switch A and save that in a preset, is it going to be engaged when I use the preset even if the deep switch A is no longer active?
Yep! All dipswitch positions and hidden option settings are saved per preset.
Thank you. Looking forward to testing out the midi functions. Might there be a midi video? Thank.
incredible pedal
Just ordered one ☝️ and I’m a Johnny Ramone fan so this should be interesting

Hello! Maybe a dumb question, but could you please tell me which type of cable I need in order to use it with my mic?
Generally, mic signals are a little too low to be processed by pedals straight out. We recommend using a mic preamp before MOOD. The Rolls MP13 or ART TubeMP are both pretty affordable options that will also give the option for 1/4in unbalanced output to interface with pedals after.
Can it make giant reverb? Like the biggest on the market?

Same as how headphones give stereo! Tip = Left, Ring = Right, Sleeve = common ground
