I waited all day just to listen to that demo, I didn't want to listen to anybody else's demo. You make all the effects you demo sound as best they can. This is no exception, in fact that might be your best demo yet! It's really impressive, and I think this is why your channel has been growing so fast lately : you don't play with the pedal, you play the pedal itself, you let it take you where it wants to go, creating vivid, expansive soundscapes that peopole love to drown into for one simple reason: it sounds natural, it is beautiful, it hits you straight in your heart's ear. It feels like a home away from home. Great pedal, magnificently demoed as always. Keep up being the best effects reviewer on RUclips my friend. Cheers from France !
I'm seriously speechless, man..... Wow... Just... Thank you! Thank you so much for this extreme stream of kindness. You just made my day. Honored to have you here ❤
@@thepedalzone Well that makes me happy! You make a lot of other people's day each time you upload, so I'm glad I was somewhat able to return the favor :)
I just want to say that I really appreciate your demos. It's so nice to find people who don't just rip blues and classic rock riffs on pedals like this. And nothing against knobs (who I also really like) but sometimes it's hard to tell what the pedal would sound like with my style from their videos. You make such simple and sparse sounds that really show off the pedals. Thank you.
Seriously, your channel is like the level on the video game that I play over and over not because it's difficult but because it's got the most beautiful scenery and I just want to be there again; or a great book that I know cover to cover but want to read again. TPZ is unreal in that I frequently come back to listen to things I've already heard a few times. Thanks for making art out of business!
I bought this pedal then realised I have no idea what I’m doing with it. Your demo is sensational. Beautiful playing and really helps me understand its capability. By far the best demo on the internet.
That's super kind of you to say, man! Thank you. Happy to hear my demo manages to be both informative and inspiring. Hope you're enjoying your Dark World a bit more now. It's such a fun reverb pedal ☺
Don't want to undervalue the other channels, but I just saw that you uploaded this demo and I thought: Finally let's see what this thing can do! A pedal zone demo of an interesting pedal always makes my day!
CBA has made an excellent jump into the pool of the digital reverb world with this pedal. Thanks for showing us what you can within the short time of less than 15 minutes! Great demo.
“Like the sound of a memory slowly fading away”... you kill me. And that jam at the end, awesome. Glad to hear your take on this pedal. Not just what could be done with this pedal, but what could come from stacking verb in general. Cheers.
I check out other channels to learn what the average person can do with a pedal. I watch your demos to see what a pedal is capable of. Your ambient playing/composing is downright inspiring. I also appreciate that you point out who should and should not be interested in a given pedal as well as noting some gripes you may have with a pedal (like Meris pedals not having built in presets- that is just the way I felt too when I had a polymoon). Anyhow, you are killing it. You’re inspiring and honestly have helped me look forward to dreamy soundscapes in the bleakest of times (Covid related and regarding my own mental health during this time). So I madly appreciate what you do and look forward to the sounds to come.
i discovered your channel a couple months ago and have found myself returning over and over again to watch demos of particular pedals. you do such a great job. thank you for all you do.
Yeah, you can easily play like me. I'm nothing special when it comes to guitar chops. I'm actually pretty terrible. I guess my strongest quality is that I have a decent ear for melody. Always loved figuring out how to play the tiny melodies I hear in my head ☺ I'm really honored that you enjoy my playing though. Really means a lot to me ❤
@@thepedalzone a great sense of melody is what eVeryone should be aspiring to have ;;; virtually , I can find guitarists who can copycat the most technically challenging songs ... but they can’t compose anythings so it’s not a creative endeavor ... so, they’re not artists
"I bet Stefan will have an amazing demo of Dark World" my brain tells me. We were prepared for this. We expected this to be amazing. Didn't matter. Mind blown. 🤯
Can't express how much your kind comment means to me. I'm just deeply humbled to hear that my videos always manage to bring in the light needed for you to pick up the guitar and make music. Makes all the work totally worth it ❤🙏
The second you hit that first switch and you played one chord I knew I was once again in for a blissful treat! Thank you as always I sure needed these sounds today.🙂
Stefan... thank you for the videos! I have made purchases of pedals solely on your demos of other pedals. After watching this one many, many times l, I decided to pull the trigger on a Dark World. And I am in love! Thanks again and keep doing what you do!
This is how a pedal like this should be demoed. Informative, inspiring, musical, top notch video and sound. You got the balance perfect. Congratulations man! I don't have the funds for pedals like this but it didn't matter. Thanks!
Thank you! Yeah, this is definitely one of the easiest and most intuitive CBA pedals when it comes to the bounce possibilities. Can really add a lot of movement to the core reverb sounds.
You’re one of the best demo RUclips guys! Psyched that you were given a pedal to demo because none are as deserving maybe Rabea but I’m biased hahahaha. You killed it man! Thank you for making awesome demos.
Pedals like these need to be demoed by someone who's into ambient music. I'm so glad we have Stefan. Too many times I see blues oriented guys trying to demo pedals like this CBA Dark World and play blues licks over it, or (even worse) they know it should best be used for ambient stuff, and so they make some shitty noise, cause that's what ambient music is, right? Thanks Stefan (again).
I have to say your video sold me on this pedal far more than Knobs' and I can't say that's happened anywhere else before. Absolutely spectacular video of this pedal's capabilities. Great job!
Beautiful demo! There are a ton of complaints about this pedal not being stereo. But this demo comes across as full and lush, and you created it with *gasp* a mono pedal! Anyway, gorgeous demo as usual.
Oh, man. I’m such a huge fan of Knobs, so I’m just honored to be named in the same sentence than him. I’m really happy you enjoyed my demo, man. Means the world to me 🙏
I’ve been subbed to your channel for a few weeks now . I ABSOLUTELY love every video you do . As bad as I want to , I try to limit myself to watching only 1 or 2 vids at a time so I won’t go through them all in one day . That way it’s like Christmas morning when I click on a video 😊 - thank you for taking the time to make such amazing videos, along with the blissful sonic landscape you create. Beautiful creations to hear 🥇🥇🥇
Holy shit! This is perfect for that atmospheric and ambient metal sound I play. This reverb pedal is so versatile and perfect for using in modulating tracks
Atmosphere and ambience is dripping from every pore of this magnificent pedal. It will definitely give you all the blissful and modulating reverb you could possibly need.
This is absolutely incredible. Whilst doing an own demo for sofajams - I know that it's a tough job to show this pedal a proper way. And you really did an awesome job. Great playing and a nice choice of sounds from that pedal.
Thank you so much, man! I think you did a great job on your demo as well. And yes, there's a lot to cover in this thing. It's endlessly deep. Still think it's the most intuitive Chase Bliss pedal to date, except for perhaps the Tonal Recall 👍
@@thepedalzone Very true! If it's not about midi programming and every DIP feature, the pedal has a kinda intuitive layout. Love it still and I think I have to get one in the nearer feature.
That Spacecraft app is fantastic. I basically built a eurorack setup to do what that app does--though, of course, the eurorack is MUCH deeper, tweakable, and has a lot more options.
You know what? I've always considered myself as a metal player that could do all the other stuff too. As I get older, all I want to play is this kind of stuff. You do great videos mate, it helps to know what's out there. Cheers!
Thanks, man! Happy to hear you enjoy the demos. Metal and ambience are actually perfect sonic partners. Both as dynamic counter-parts within a song, but the right touch of ambience can also take heavy riffs to new dark dimensions. Check out stuff like Deafheaven, Cult of Luna, Russian Circles, Pelican, Oathbreaker and Alcest. Think you'll dig it 🙌
I'm already digging every single one of these bands lol. Also can't get enough of Plini, David Maxim Micic, and other Prog instrumental. Thanks for the reply mate, it's hard to find people to trade knowledge with here at home. I'm almost 40, and I live in a tiny country town in the Australian bush. Nobody to play with, or even talk shop!
"Like the sound of a memory slowly fading away..." This kind of beautiful imagery right here is why I love your demos. Kudos for diving headfirst into the dipswitches, which is the part of CBA pedals I love most, and turning that into poetry. (I may or may not steal that as a song lyric...) Thanks as always.
Steal away, my friend ❤ And thank you for the kind words. Happy you enjoyed the DIP Switch segment. I think this pedal has the most intuitive and inspiring DIP switch interaction of all the CBA pedals out there. Just super easy to make unique ambient textures with it.
Dude. You totally came to the same conclusion I did right at the end. Seems like a brilliant tool for those who are so inclined, and it sounds gorgeous. Lush, even? I'm not smart or patient enough to dabble with everything going on there, but I kinda wish I was.
It's definitely not for everybody. Too many features will simply block creativity for some players. But for others, extreme versatility and feature richness is just what they need. I still think this is the most intuitive Chase Bliss pedal to date though, so if you're looking to get into the world of CBA at some point, then this one is a good place to start 👍
As always, this demo pushed me over and I bought it. You've got me on this and the Shallow Water in the past two weeks. You gotta stop it! I think you could sell me just about anything with that playing!
An actual Tie-Fighter generator! Whooooosh! 🚀💫🚀 Good to see one of the Chase Bliss Audio pedals on your channel, bro! Excellent compositions as usual. Chapeau!
Thanks, man! Kind of you. Oh, I've done my time driving to and from festivals, setting up, tearing down, driving some more, eating fast food, sleeping in bad hostels. It's not for me. Loved playing the shows, but all the logistics and waiting up until the shows become tiring. I respect the musicians that are able to do this day in and day out for a living. It's a tough gig ☺
Your gear reviews are fantastically informative, very well filmed and you go in-depth (and turn all the knobs!). I love the text while filming the pedal format. Your playing doesn't hurt either ,) Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your demos. They've helped me on several purchases and you give a very accurate description of what to expect from the product. ` PS. Are you Swedish by any chance?
I finally had the time to catch up and was waiting for your video ! Beautiful demo Stefan. Now, what’s your opinion on Mercury 7 vs Dark World if I had to get one haha ^^ thanks !
Thanks for the kindness, dude. Means a lot. I've been asked that question quite a bit, so I'm just gonna copy paste my answer for ya ☺ You need to weigh up what features you need. Do you need stereo? Do you need a lot of different reverb types, or the ability to augment your reverbs with a sea of hi-fi pitch and modulation options? Both are stellar reverbs. If you can afford it, get both. They are different enough to warrant having both on your board. That’s what I’m doing at the moment. But I know that that’s a lot of cash to splash. If you want some of the best ambient/postrock/sci-fi verbs out there, then I would go Mercury7. If you want more dense textural reverbs, then the Dark World is one of the best at that.
I waited all day just to listen to that demo, I didn't want to listen to anybody else's demo. You make all the effects you demo sound as best they can. This is no exception, in fact that might be your best demo yet!
It's really impressive, and I think this is why your channel has been growing so fast lately : you don't play with the pedal, you play the pedal itself, you let it take you where it wants to go, creating vivid, expansive soundscapes that peopole love to drown into for one simple reason: it sounds natural, it is beautiful, it hits you straight in your heart's ear. It feels like a home away from home.
Great pedal, magnificently demoed as always. Keep up being the best effects reviewer on RUclips my friend.

"This pedal feels like home"
well, every reverb pedal in your channel, played in your style, feels like home to my ears :)
That's very kind of you to say 🙏
I check out other channels to learn what the average person can do with a pedal. I watch your demos to see what a pedal is capable of. Your ambient playing/composing is downright inspiring. I also appreciate that you point out who should and should not be interested in a given pedal as well as noting some gripes you may have with a pedal (like Meris pedals not having built in presets- that is just the way I felt too when I had a polymoon). Anyhow, you are killing it. You’re inspiring and honestly have helped me look forward to dreamy soundscapes in the bleakest of times (Covid related and regarding my own mental health during this time).

i discovered your channel a couple months ago and have found myself returning over and over again to watch demos of particular pedals. you do such a great job. thank you for all you do.
Absolutely stunning! The amount of options and pairings the Dark World offers makes it a very versatile reverb. Wonderful content as always, man!
Yup, super versatile. Definitely one of CBA's very best pedals to date. Happy you enjoyed the demo ❤
I'm steadily realising that I should stop buying gear until I can play like this
David Cox ... but you haven't fully realized this yet. .. have you. .
I imagine you already can play at this level: it’s the composition and particularly the arranging that is unusually good.
Yeah, you can easily play like me. I'm nothing special when it comes to guitar chops. I'm actually pretty terrible. I guess my strongest quality is that I have a decent ear for melody. Always loved figuring out how to play the tiny melodies I hear in my head ☺ I'm really honored that you enjoy my playing though. Really means a lot to me ❤

Thank you very much! Yeah, it's a really wonderful and inspiring reverb pedal
Just superb Stefan... as someone else already said, the best demo of this sonic encyclopedia so far.
Thank you so much. Extremely kind of you ❤
The best and most informative pedal/effect channel around plus great musicianship....👍👍
Oh my! That's extremely kind of you. Thank you!
Your demos are the highlight of my week :)
Thank you so much, buddy 🙏
"I bet Stefan will have an amazing demo of Dark World" my brain tells me. We were prepared for this. We expected this to be amazing.
Didn't matter. Mind blown. 🤯
Hahaha! This is awesome. Thank you for being mind-blowingly funny 😂😊🙏
My buddy, your playing has been getting better and better. Great work
Thanks, man! Your kindness humbled me ❤️🙏
Always so super inspiring. Even on my darkest days you make me want to play and make soundscapes
Can't express how much your kind comment means to me. I'm just deeply humbled to hear that my videos always manage to bring in the light needed for you to pick up the guitar and make music. Makes all the work totally worth it ❤🙏
I was so excited to see your review of the Dark World pop up. You didn’t disappoint. Best demo on RUclips. Great job Stefan. Inspiring as always.
Awwww, dude! I’m floored by your kind words. Thank you so much for the support ❤️🙏
I'm sold. Great demo. So good that I had to pause the video while I ordered a Dark World.
Ha! That's incredible, man. Thank you ❤
The second you hit that first switch and you played one chord I knew I was once again in for a blissful treat! Thank you as always I sure needed these sounds today.🙂
Thanks again! Always means a lot!
So this another great pedal to which you've done amazing justice. Really beautiful.
Thank you so incredibly much ❤
Holy mother of tone that is beatiful
Yay! Holy mother of tone is now officially a thing 😊❤️ And yes, it’s goooood! 👌
Beautiful demo man!
Thank you so much, dude 🙏
Oh, fuuuh. Stefan your playing is just so damn awesome. Lovely progressions.
This reverb suits your style very well Stefan. Lovely demo, especially the plate mode!
Best demo of this pedal so far.
Extremely honored. Thank you 🙏
Awesome Pedal my friend, and nice demo as usual
Thanks, man! Yeah, it is a spectacular pedal 😊👍
Your playing against its use of features is unreal on this. Well done - you killed it! :)
11:55 is my favourite
You sir are a magician. Sounds amazing!
Awwwww, man. Too kind. Thank you ❤
The what makes this video review so amazing is that the guy plays such beautiful progressions.. Thanks for an awesome review man..
Awwww, man! Thank you! Happy you enjoyed the tunes and the tones. Means a lot to me 🙏
The moment I saw this one announced I thought “Stefan’s GOTTA demo that pedal, pronto!”. And here we are. Awesome stuff.
Haha! Thanks for the support, man. Happy the demo lived up to your expectations ❤
Hands-down the best demo of the Dark World out there!
Oh wow! Thank you. Extremely kind of you to say ❤️🙏
Stefan... thank you for the videos! I have made purchases of pedals solely on your demos of other pedals. After watching this one many, many times l, I decided to pull the trigger on a Dark World. And I am in love! Thanks again and keep doing what you do!
Extremely kind of you. Thank you! Dark World is such a unique reverb pedal.
I just discovered your channel and you’re gonna help me get my next reverb pedal. Amazing videos!!
This is how a pedal like this should be demoed. Informative, inspiring, musical, top notch video and sound. You got the balance perfect. Congratulations man! I don't have the funds for pedals like this but it didn't matter. Thanks!
Oh, man! Thank you so much. Blown away by your kindness ❤
Never clicked on a video so fast
Ha! Thanks for the support, man 😊🙏

And you are the King of Kindness. Thank you ❤️🙏
The wait was worth it !!
I’m honored to hear that ❤️🙏
holy shit, i really love this demo 7:40 , it's sound like i'm in silent hill town running in the deepest darkness
So honored, man. Thank you
Very nice demo man, the bouncing/ramping really brings it to life!
Thank you! Yeah, this is definitely one of the easiest and most intuitive CBA pedals when it comes to the bounce possibilities. Can really add a lot of movement to the core reverb sounds.

Thank you so much, man. Incredibly kind words from you there ❤️ And yeah, Rabea rules. One of my faves as well 🤘
The best reverb I ever heard! I’m saying that your demo is amazing man, Your style of playing suits for this demo. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much! This is most definitely a special reverb pedal. A ton of unique tones in it.
Beautiful demo! Ive been trying to decide on this pedal, your video has persuaded me completely.
Thank you so much, man! Honored that my demo inspired you you to get this pedal. It’s absolutely killer 🙌
What's your long term review on this pedal?
25 seconds in and yep...you nailed it. Anytime I get a verb I’m just trying to chase your ambient talents. Bravo Good Brother 🤘
Super honored, my friend. Thank you. Think you did a stellar job on yours as well ❤
That was not a pedal demo. That was a beautiful work of art. I spent the majority of the video with my eyes closed just enjoying your playing. ❤️
Awwwww, man! So humbled by your kind words. Thank you for watching, and thank you for commenting. Truly made my day ❤
11:59, Stefan. Absolutely stunning. This is the sound of life and death.
I'm honored, man. Thank you ❤
Pedals like these need to be demoed by someone who's into ambient music. I'm so glad we have Stefan.

Thanks Stefan (again).
I'm honored to hear you think I do the pedals justice. I just play whatever the pedals inspire me to play 🙏
Finally ordered mine and can not wait for it to arrive.
You’re in for a fun time, my friend 😊
I have to say your video sold me on this pedal far more than Knobs' and I can't say that's happened anywhere else before. Absolutely spectacular video of this pedal's capabilities. Great job!
Super honored, man. Knobs is my hero, so I'm blown away that you see my videos as being on par with his. Thank you ❤
Hey Stefan! Been following your channel for a while. Truly inspiring music and hi-end demos as always. Thank you!
Incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much for being a part of the journey ❤
This is something i could play around for hours
It's definitely a pedal that will make you lose track of time 😊
Very nice sounds here! I love the lick
Thank you kindly!
Amazing!
Thank you for everything you do...
Bought it because of you!
Thanks again
Cheers! Extremely kind of you. And I'm honored that my demo inspired you to pick up this pedal. It's a great ambient device 🙏
Love the mod mode so much!
Yeah, it's spectacular!
@ 4:29, and 6:58, things become interesting.@ 7:40, we're talking horror movie scores. I love these Strange places. You are the Sensei of Sound.
Awwww! Thank you 🙏 There's just so many soundscapes hidden inside this thing.
Just found this channel. What a killer demo!
Thank you so much, man! Means a lot to me. Honored to have you here 😊🙏
This might be the best reverb pedal I have ever heard.
SIDE NOTE: Noticed the Westwood keeps sneaking into your videos lately. Love it.
Westwood is the best drive pedal I've ever had. Go get it now, if you don't have it already ☺ And yes, this reverb pedal is just magnificent.
You always make everything sound so good
Well, it's easy when the pedals actually are good. Happy you enjoy the sounds, man ❤
ThePedalZone You’d be surprised though haha ;) You definitely do those pedals justice

Thanks! Just got this pedal. Hope will be satisfied:)
Happy you liked the demo. I'm sure you'll dig this pedal. It's special
Best demo videos in general so far. Yes better than knobs. I said it. Don't kill me plz

Atmosphere and ambience is dripping from every pore of this magnificent pedal. It will definitely give you all the blissful and modulating reverb you could possibly need.
I love how well this reverb keeps the pitch intact. Such an amazing sound! Great video Stefan!! You are the best!
Happy you dig it, man 😊
Amazing demo man!! Chase Bliss knocked it out of the park once again!!!
Oh my god, that Sigur Ros sound at 7:00 !!! Magnificent..
This one is Sigur Rós in a box. Terrific reverb pedal. Happy you liked it ❤
If you sell this pedal, I'd be honored to get yours! ;)

my fav sigur ros song (maybe my favourite song period) and yeah I totally got that vibe too
Very lush guitar playing 😌

As always, this demo pushed me over and I bought it. You've got me on this and the Shallow Water in the past two weeks. You gotta stop it! I think you could sell me just about anything with that playing!
Haha! Thanks, man. You're in for a world of warbly ambient fun with those two ☺👍
An actual Tie-Fighter generator! Whooooosh! 🚀💫🚀
Good to see one of the Chase Bliss Audio pedals on your channel, bro! Excellent compositions as usual. Chapeau!
Hi Stefan,may the New Year keep you always as you are,your channel makes me feel better all the time,see you in space! 🙏
Man! So kind of you. Thank you. Catch you out there in the atmosphere ❤
Damn beautiful sounds! Could imagine you on the festival circuit, blowing minds as the sun goes down 🙌
Thanks, man! Kind of you. Oh, I've done my time driving to and from festivals, setting up, tearing down, driving some more, eating fast food, sleeping in bad hostels. It's not for me. Loved playing the shows, but all the logistics and waiting up until the shows become tiring. I respect the musicians that are able to do this day in and day out for a living. It's a tough gig ☺
@@thepedalzone Ah I should've known!
Your gear reviews are fantastically informative, very well filmed and you go in-depth (and turn all the knobs!). I love the text while filming the pedal format. Your playing doesn't hurt either ,)
Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your demos. They've helped me on several purchases and you give a very accurate description of what to expect from the product. `
PS. Are you Swedish by any chance?
Damn that's a good demo.
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful demo!
Thanks, man! Really happy you liked it ❤
Sooo good. Great job
Thank you so much ❤
I finally had the time to catch up and was waiting for your video ! Beautiful demo Stefan. Now, what’s your opinion on Mercury 7 vs Dark World if I had to get one haha ^^ thanks !
Thanks for the kindness, dude. Means a lot. I've been asked that question quite a bit, so I'm just gonna copy paste my answer for ya ☺ You need to weigh up what features you need. Do you need stereo? Do you need a lot of different reverb types, or the ability to augment your reverbs with a sea of hi-fi pitch and modulation options? Both are stellar reverbs. If you can afford it, get both. They are different enough to warrant having both on your board. That’s what I’m doing at the moment. But I know that that’s a lot of cash to splash. If you want some of the best ambient/postrock/sci-fi verbs out there, then I would go Mercury7. If you want more dense textural reverbs, then the Dark World is one of the best at that.
@@thepedalzone Thank you very much for your response ! Both sounds like the goal :)
OMG that’s phenomenal!!! 🤤
It truly is a phenomenal pedal. Happy you liked it 👍
Seems to me, that the Dark World, always pops/cuts through the mix pleasantly, regardless of how weird the combos are dialed in
This is sick!
Happy you like it, man ☺
