It's kind of like a Furby went to a small liberal arts college and learned about John Cage and then was turned into a pedal by the Cyberman "upgrade" process from Doctor Who.
I received mine yesterday. I placed it after the MOOD and literally played for 5 hours not even realising. It's so addictive. The first loop I created wasn't very good. I was playing to much and when I started scanning, it was a complete mess. I felt that little would be more. So I played 3 minutes of swells through my nightsky and then just individual notes with it set in a basic daily. And then I just explored the modifiers and it blow me away. Early days yet, but with my little experience it's about patience and not over playing. What I wished the HABIT had was an indicator built in showing you the time you have played. It can be used as a standard delay but it would be wasted. This is about experimenting, playing chords and notes in the same key and seeing what it gives you. It's never the same.
A pedal that's based of human emotions, it's such a beautiful idea, one that just sends a flood of idea's to my head, makes me want to learn how to build experimental guitar pedals
Interesting video, but his turning the knobs started to remind me of sitting in front of a TV with a child in control of the remote. I really wanted to hear how randomly it could remix just a couple of simple chords and maybe one line of vocal if you left it going for a minute.
Wo-hah! This charming lil' stompy just leapt straight up to the top five on my "must buy before I die"-list... Reminds me somewhat of my old RE-201 Space Echo: It had the long version of tape loop, so badly worn you could almost see through it! Coupled with the fact that a few heads had seen better days as well, you could some times hear snippets you'd previously played re-repeat ages after the fact! 🙂
Beatles' Blue Jay Way came to mind a lot in this video. i love "random" effects because i'm a 60s child, but half a grand is quite some coinage to this old hippie, though. Good video. Good presentation! Thanks.
Dear David, I just want to let you know that you are doing a great job and I really like the videos you make. It's really informative and helpful for young musicians like me. Keep it up and thank you for making this wonderful videos .
A good mix of weird and more normal. The manual also seems really good. Great presentation. I guess you used a lot of time on first understanding, then practise and test, and then make this video. Subscribed.
Wow can you do a review on every Chase Bliss Pedal and with various chapters exploring each dip switch setting lol !!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 This was truly incredible! What would be cool to see is what happens when you turn the collect switch on so that you can replay all this sounds that you were making through out the video so we can remember various aspects of moments from throughout your tutorial but it would be playing during the tutorial. I dont know if that makes sense, but whatever you do...dont ever stop making these videos .. por favor
I think you'll find there's a video game OST that sounds like it used this effects pedal. Even though the game was made years ago, before it was ever created. It's called "Smile For Me". I recommend you check out at least the music.
Basically this is the pedal/digital version of what the Beatles did: record some music, slice up the tape, and randomly reassemble and add effects to taste.
Looks really cool but costs over 450€! There are much cheaper ways to find happy accidents such as slicing up a random loop on your DAW and experimenting with effects and/or using the FREE dBlue Glitch plugin or other plugins that randomly mangle your audio. Good luck!
I feel like this is an effect I've heard before, is there a name for this sound in the manual producing world where someone would have to implement the scanning effect by hand? Beautiful toy and video, A+
Such an amazing pedal. I find it hard to compose with so I built an Ableton effect rack that (almost) replicates this pedal, that way I can automate to my taste.
I've got a relative who's legit Schizophrenic, this is basically how her brain works, except the channel can randomly flip around 40 years not 3 minutes.
I started taking notes on the times in this video that I liked, but there are soooo many, so I threw away those notes 🙂 This pedal is really cool, but I also think this sounds cool because of what you are feeding into it. . It reminds me of 3 demo's / jam-tapes I made in the summer of 86, when I knew I had to move out of my apartment and I made some music in the weeks before I left. I used the Pearl electro-echo f-605. (Still got the thing.) Twisting the knobs when singing or playing guitar, I could sort of the sounds that you get with Habit, but different. Habit reminds me of the pearl, though. . Loved this video and played it, I think 3 or 4 times now. Thanx for doing this... for inspiring us. :-)
This looks incredibly fun. Is there a program that simulates this process? Going through a DAW would be preferable for minimizing noise. But this opens the door for hours and hours of experimentation.

I've heard that these are really sturdy. They say a habit is hard to break.
🤣
Unless you... kick it?
Yeah but they also tend to stick
@@TeaSea- Yeah, chase bliss using heroin, or these pedals, and you just waste years of your life, never really getting your money's worth.
@@michaelcarey9359 pedals are worth the cash tho

Comment of 2022.
Awesome
I love seeing all the common channels we have in common professor Lanterman! Wish I lived in ATL so we could meet up
this is fucking amazing.
thank you.
@@danielpirone8028 Very kind of you to say! :)
For certain genres, this would be insane to record with
You record the pedal then write a song around it.
...and for the rest of the genres it would just be insane.
Chase Bliss pedals are damn near musical instruments in and of themselves.
This has to be the most strange and complex pedal I've ever seen/ heard. Unforseen potential
Can't wait for the VST version. I'd buy it instantly.
Well in that case check out Empress Zoia if you haven't already that thing is bonkers!
What an incredibly clever device! I've not seen anything quite like it.
How do you think weird music was produced? The sounds you hear coming from cars? I think they all should install a Habit in modern cars.
Straight onto my list of things I can't afford.
This combined with the Generation Loss in the proper context would be amazing sounding. I can totally imagine using it to make an analog horror video

Ive never seen a pedal ive wanted so much, thanks for showing how this pedal works
Beautifully presented. Definitely on my hit list. Thank you, David.

I've watched a few videos on this pedal and so far you've explained how it works the most elegantly, great vid!
This has to be. one of the most fascinating pedals around. Great video, very well produced. You earned a follower today. Thanks.

Good video. Good presentation! Thanks.
The pitch shifting reminds me of Tomorrow Never Knows!
Imagine going to your local music store and trying to tell the employee what your looking for before CB produced such a pedal lol 🤯
I was about to say 'I want one.' Then I thought about getting two so they could chat to eachother. How bizarre.
yo major props for incorporating a buddha box into this, i still have one and love to sample it
Cool but expensive but cool. I would love to make a free version of this in Pure Data 😁
(almost) done! Quite basic at the moment, but it's a good place where to start.
There's a little demo on my channel
Awesome. I've been recording ambient tracks lately and this would be so incredible to play with
Dear David,
I just want to let you know that you are doing a great job and I really like the videos you make.

Keep it up and thank you for making this wonderful videos .
theres so much potential for these unique pedals, cant wait to get my hands on of these
"This is [approx. $500 spent on GAS] by Chase Bliss"
...
brilliant pedal, as always

Reminds me of Adventure Time's OSTs sound. So, so cool
Great overview, which shows how musical and inspirational this pedal can be.
The dinner party analogy, yes! That's so true.
has similiar vibes to the montreal assembly- count to five . cool for textures
It`s not often that a very new idea comes out for these units. What a great idea! And, a fantastic breakdown video. Thanks
I'd like to see how Graham Coxon would use this pedal.
I'd love to see a video game sound track made with this pedal
Wow, very Radio Lab. Brilliant pedal!
I knew it reminded me of something but couldn’t finger it

This is crazy cool! Keep up the great content, ur channel is totally underrated
Sold out at $399. Available at retail stores for $649... 😵🤯
Yeeesh
There was a used thermae at my local pawn shop for 550$ lol these things ain’t cheap
This is a really interesting pedal. Kind of remind me of the Make Noise/Soundhack Morphagene module.
Excellent idea for a pedal and creative recording tool !
How interesting. Not sure if it's for me but I really am intrigued by it conceptually
I can see this being used to make a movie score soundtrack due to its versatility and abstract sounds.
Wow this sounded awesome and your demo you did with the vocals sounded great 👏
Like the techno band crystal castles 😃😊
It's like hitchhiker's guide scanning in.
Dude thank you!!!!!!! I’ve seen so many mixed reviews but this hit the nail on the head.
I just got one, and I love it! I’ll be using it when I play Terry Riley’s Minimalist masterpiece “In C” next month.
I love the look of that Helvetica field guide
experimental ambient musicians rejoice!
i can do SOME of this stuff with my current board - but this really is on another level lol
I love their pedals, now if only I could get them in a Eurorack module, that would be great.
I feel like this is an effect I've heard before, is there a name for this sound in the manual producing world where someone would have to implement the scanning effect by hand? Beautiful toy and video, A+
I've heard it quite a bit in the podcast Radiolab, usually with a few different voices and effects
I see this effect in movies and shows more than music
4:15 reminds me of the old retro games like og pokemon
@@NicoMyers ah ye it is like radiolab
I think hainbach did something on this too…very cool pedal. I want one!
As always thanks for the vid..🙏
Yes, he did a jam with Habit + his tronichord. :)
This pedal literally generates music by the Boards of Canada and I need one.
My thoughts exactly, had to scroll way too far to find this comment
Never thought I'd laugh so hard my gut hurts during a pedal review. Definitely earned my sub
Got such massive inscryption vibes from the music from the first 2 minutes
wow, very nice tool, most pleasent presentation! Thank you :-)
I appreciate the detail in your videos. Actually thinking of buying one of these because of your video. :)
I’m stealing your “guest at a dinner party” metaphor. What a great descriptive comment. :)
This is the best april fools day commercial ever✨
This would be great for LIVE performances
If Ira Glass hosted a music production podcast…
underrated channel
beautiful song out at the end with this device
sweeeeet would love to play with this pedal!!!! might be good for creative ideation for composition
i have no idea whats ever happening in ur videos but i love them
Such an amazing pedal. I find it hard to compose with so I built an Ableton effect rack that (almost) replicates this pedal, that way I can automate to my taste.
best explanation yet of this device
Some of my music tech professors would love this
Vintage first-gen Buddha Machine! very nice!
So, creative. Superb! ❤️🙏
Oh that Pippin actor singing, coool
I've got a relative who's legit Schizophrenic, this is basically how her brain works, except the channel can randomly flip around 40 years not 3 minutes.
I drove a wealthy lady from New Jersey to Florida who was like that. The things she said were disturbing.
Ah I got a buddha box when I was in China in 2007.. brings back great memories seeing one again
Beautiful examples, sounds great with your vocals! My only gripe is that they sold out so fast but thats to be expected 😅
Copies on reverb I think…although pricey little beast..
vintage king has them in stock still
@@alexrehberg thanks for the heads up!
Sounds a whole lot like Crystallizer from Sound Toys.
I started taking notes on the times in this video that I liked,
but there are soooo many, so I threw away those notes 🙂

Thanx for doing this... for inspiring us. :-)
Wow, this sounds like a must get. 😳
This device itself ist art
hnnnng look at the graphic design on that instruction booklet. so good
Cool review! I will definitely buy this thing) BTW what music is playing at the beginning?
This looks incredibly fun. Is there a program that simulates this process? Going through a DAW would be preferable for minimizing noise. But this opens the door for hours and hours of experimentation.
Does anyone know what that little pink speaker is? Seems handy but I can’t find it on the internet
This is one of those gadgets that I would love to mess with for a day and then forget it forever.
Sounds like somethig you would here on a Bon Iver track! very cool!
Imagine playing a wrong note and then being reminded of it 20 seconds later again 😂
Phenomenal video man. Thank you.
It’s like Everywhere At The End Of Time in a metal box.
Nice comparison
This is a great video. The pedal is awesome too but I do a lot of shrooms so I don't know if would work for me.
Of course it would
Have Korg Volcas...my Habit arrives soon...your video is my chocolate/peanut butter ..thank you for the explanations...
its like a radiohead machine
It’s the instant Radiolab pedal. WNYC mid naughties especially.
Your vocals sound like Sufjan Stevens, very cool!
This pedal is fine for those who are ready for the truth about themselves.
Isn't this kind of like your band is playing along and midstream your guitar player stars playing another song?? Why do I need this?
These aren’t stereo, right? The ability to adjust the repeats in the stereo field would be pretty awesome
I assumed it was stereo from the number of sockets but apparently it's mono. Surprising for such an expensive niche pedal.
I love pedals that make weird sounds
It's similar to effects I can get with dBlue glitch + Floaty Delay in REAPER.
Boards of Canada would drool over this pedal
