I’ve spent my entire adult life trying to escape digital artifacts only to learn now that they are beautiful. Thank you, Chase Bliss, for schooling me once again and changing my musical mind!
I can imagine decades in to the future, listening to music with intentional lossy artifacts will be a sought-out sound, just as wow and flutter is with vinyl and tape today.
The ability to dial in a perfect instance of low-file-size MP3 soundscape on specific elements of a mix instead of the whole mix opens up the world of peaceful vibeful coexistence.
Thank you so much for reminding me of this album. Oh my god. I remember that one song with the music video being about the moon being too close to the earth? So it was killing everybody?
Wow. Just wow. Who knew that digital artifacts could be so musical? I have a feeling this is a fun pedal to just get lost in and go back to a simpler time when you never were sure if that MP3 you were downloading was the right song, but I suppose that's all a part of the adventure!
I started the Knobs demo and thought, "wow, this isn't for me." Then I watched all the other demoes and thought, "wow, this isn't for me." Then I came back to the Knobs demo. Wow, this is a must have. I feel like generally, demoes give you a pretty good idea of a pedal's possibilities, but this is the only one that really does it for me.
The sounds of adolescent computer time. This one hits me right in the heart-shaped digital file. Kinda shocked at the variety of sounds, not what I expected from a digital artifact box. Definitely gotta grab this one!
Goodhertz x Chase Bliss ?!?!? Literally two of my favourite music companies, each with so much personality and vibe. I'm so happy. PLEASE DO MEGAVERB OR VULFCOMPRESSOR NEXT!
This is what a cheap multieffects pedal would sound like if your cat has been pissing on the pcb for six months and you decide to plug it in. Hand one of these over to Hainbach I am sure it will be musical. Thanks Chase Bliss.
Wow one of my favorite plugins has now been stuffed into the beautiful pedal enclosures with a verb that chase bliss crafted. Beautiful. The Lossy 2.0 plugin has been my go to lofi plugin for getting close to a decade now. Well I guess lossy 1.0 has been out for a decade. Can’t remember when the 2.0 update hit it.
I'm equally floored by the research that must have gone into this. Like those weird chirps n whistles, the artifacts are incredible. So versatile, like the blooper I'er had since 2019, still finding new ways to use it and incorporate it into my work flow.
Perfect tool for a studio, right ? It will be "a must device" like a Space Echo RE 201 in my opinion. I would be use at least two in my rig. Congrats CB crew and thank you Knobs for these wonderful sounds buddy ;-)
It’s incredible how y’all have made so many genuinely new guitar effects. You turned Real Player into an instrument and it’s gorgeous. I’m a computer person who cut my teeth in the late 90s. So I’m imagining this as old lossy audio compression, traffic shaping it as UDP, and different algorithms to handle the datagram latency, loss, jitter, etc. But then inverting the loss is extra mind blowing. Any implementation I can think of would require a full OS and still behave in near real time. People may balk at the price tag, but the hardware and engineering here is insane. And putting it all in a package that still feels analog. My mind is officially blown.
Think about it. When recording, a pedal like this can place your guitar in the background of your mix, allowing your vocals and other aspects of the track to occupy the foreground with high fidelity. Set it up, step on it, turn it down and put some vocals over top of the nice mix it creates for you with minimal effort. Nice for intros and Outros too!!!
Damn! I just received a Mood Mkii...you and Empress really revolutionise the concepts and ideas of effects pedal. Well done, oh and whatever you do, please stick with stereo!
@@gloomxglory Yes! It's worth a lot of money! :)...jokes apart, the original mood can give you spectacular drones and grit, not present in the new mkii, but you can 95% repeat the mk1 behaviour by flicking a switch on the mkii and still have a stereo behaviour which lacked on the original mk1. On top of that well you get a proper stereo pedal, which for me counts 100%, and then you also get the fade function for the microlooper which is fundamental for ambient, then you the latching function for the switches, which is gold, no noise if you don't want it and many other little improvements...the mood mk2 could do all the drones and background wonderful moving sound and the Lossy can create that wonderful atmosphere...sorry I am talking from the point of view of an ambient musician
All we need now is a microcosm/outward v2 Cooper fx collaboration pedal. I'll take one of those, genloss mk2, mood mk2, lossy, and a 5th CB pedal, putting them all into a behringer model d enclosure, I think that's the only reasonable decision. The thing would be incredible.
@@darionbuck4614 I know but at least one or imagine both collaborating with CB in 1 granular pedal. And if not Hologram, Red Panda would be just as special in my opinion. Meris dominates reverb and delay, CB dominates lo-fi and -.. maybe their preamp pedal or unique delays? To really push chase bliss to dominate the extreme delay space they'd need a granular pedal. Then they'd have 3 killer delay effects just like they have 3 killer lo-fi effects and nothing competes with them.
I just got my Generation Loss MK2 - that seems to do the exact same thing, just in baby blue. Can someone please explain the difference to me or why my very recent purchase hasn't been an utter waste of money, now that something newer came out, just a few months later?
I just got one too but don't see how this is the same at all. If you really sit down with headphones and watch the video, this is insanely unique. As someone else described, Gen loss is analog tape warbles and pops. This is a digital lo fi emulation.
I’m getting me some fennez vibes real hard with this. Maybe this is all I ever wanted in a pedal. Was the stereo swirling in the intro a mono track going into the pedal and coming out stereo?
I haven't bought a pedal for almost a year. DIdn't quite make it. As someone who's always adored the Ottobit Jr this gives me similar feels, but shot into the variable bit rate stratosphere with a side of DMT, and I am so on board.
CB never change. yet another set of instant kitsch knobs. even toys on the table are the same. pity, as CB interface, quality and imagination are almost peerless. for sure you know your market well, but how cool it would be if you could let the kids (and yourself) outgrow this blissful nostalgia. there's no bliss to chase, just the beautification industry. ten years from now Knobs's table will look like Axl''s scarfs do now.
Gonna watch this again in 240p
gotta go 144p
@@HenritheHorse so much loss....
I’ve spent my entire adult life trying to escape digital artifacts only to learn now that they are beautiful. Thank you, Chase Bliss, for schooling me once again and changing my musical mind!
Same here! Remember in the 90's when we were stuck in that "lo-fi" dimension and could not escape? All our old crusty tapes are now "the thing"!
The acoustic guitar through this is what sold me immediately.
I can imagine decades in to the future, listening to music with intentional lossy artifacts will be a sought-out sound, just as wow and flutter is with vinyl and tape today.
I think I'm gonna just listen to music through this at home and become a lo-fi chill animation. So pretty💕
Basically Vaporwave in a pedal... yall are my heroes
just when I thought I was done buying “pedals” along comes knobs…
you guys and dolls are GENIUS marketers and pedal peddlers🥳

2 minutes in and already a must buy. Wow.
Really beautiful Knobs as always, a treat for the senses. ❤
Glad I read this before commenting, thought they were ripping him off 😅
I'm loving that freeze function
Wow this sound incredible, the freeze is amazing
Really? I have a broken cd player I can sell you for $100 shipped.
Ughhhhh I'm trying to be smarter financially and this doesn't help.
Verbatim thoughts. Just got reverse mode c among other pedals 😂
Do you have the Gen Loss?
I bought it without even watching the video… 💸
@@DalelCampbellyeah
Yep. Not good
reminds me of The Year of Hibernation album by Youth Lagoon… love it!!!

@@SomeoneElsesDrinkreminds me of Majoras Mask.
Strait up Lorn vibes at the end there w the synth /filter part. Great job there.
So many creative possibilities! It’s got that chase bliss magic too!🤩
Things also about to be lossy: my wallet

Same! I've used lossy on 90% of tracks I've put together over the last 3 years. MegaVerb is my other favorite of GH!
Vulf compressor indeed, omg
Just love it on drums and multitrack. Great badass glitching for mastering.
This is what a cheap multieffects pedal would sound like if your cat has been pissing on the pcb for six months and you decide to plug it in. Hand one of these over to Hainbach I am sure it will be musical. Thanks Chase Bliss.

Such a cool pedal! We miss seeing you on your channel though: Knobs! ❤
Oh geez I’m still learning how to use my Mood mk II … Lossy sounds amazing 😮
Sounds nice!
8:16 this sounds like something straight out of radiohead's "in rainbows". Also 15:52 sounds just divine
I agree
Love how Chase bliss always surprises us and comes out with pedals that are new and inspiring
Lossy is a few years old now, but big ups to them for bringing an original like this into the real world. Now I can sleep next to my favorite sounds!
This interests me.
Another triumph from Chase Bliss. And another amazing device to use with Habit. And another on my list. Great stuff
A new wish for my sound palette... so beautiful and deep....
wowzer bowzer! This thing is RAD
Incredible! Can't wait to try it out
This is superb!
yes lord 🙌🏻

Congrats CB crew and thank you Knobs for these wonderful sounds buddy ;-)
Another crazy Chase Bliss pedal (as expected)!
I still think it would have been funny if you all surprised everyone and said “Here’s a Klon clone”!
My first experiment was with an audio track, but I can't wait to route through my ditto x2 looper in a live setting with keys!!
So fun! Love this one.

I’ve finally got one on its way!
Thank you!!!!!
9:31 Mouse Trap!

Just got one of these in my mystery box was initially slightly disappointed but playing around with it I think o can make it work
Lossy is so good!
Dude it's an acquired taste..once you get used to it then you start enjoying it for what it is .
Damn! I just received a Mood Mkii...you and Empress really revolutionise the concepts and ideas of effects pedal. Well done, oh and whatever you do, please stick with stereo!

Great video - looks a top pedal - thing is the free vst version isn't a patch on this and the pedal is fantastically expensive
I love the mousetrap pieces that you used from the game..😄😄😄🙃🙃🙃👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Maravilloso
fantastic!!! bravo!!!
it really does sound like my guitar goes through a tomagachi
crunchy, knobby, blissy!
Does it give the same viruses as limewire did too?
Yes. I couldn't play my guitar after a while. Some Indian guy wanted a $3000 cashiers check to return the sound back into my guitar.
Bullseye. You hit the nail on the head.🎉
2:37 what synth are you using for this part? Sounds nice.
That's a guitar 😅
@@ChaseBlissAudio damn,

Amazing flaws and where to find them
Wow great. One thingy: Full wet seems to not seem full wet? Still hearing guitar

They sound very different to me. If you want an analog tape sound-- Gen Loss MK2. If you want a Y2K sound then this is the move
I just got one too but don't see how this is the same at all. If you really sit down with headphones and watch the video, this is insanely unique. As someone else described, Gen loss is analog tape warbles and pops. This is a digital lo fi emulation.
I’m getting me some fennez vibes real hard with this. Maybe this is all I ever wanted in a pedal. Was the stereo swirling in the intro a mono track going into the pedal and coming out stereo?
It was. The majority of this demo is mono in, being turned into stereo out by the pedal.
RIGHT?! Endless Summer forever
@@ChaseBlissAudio Amazing! Thanks so much for the clarification. I know what I'm getting next payday :)
I ordered at midnight last night and it already shipped 😊
Before I start video...
"What do I need this for?"
by end of video...
"I must have this!"
I'm..... so perplexed that we've arrived at a place that this is desirable.
Nice, the Phoebe Bridgers album vst turned into a pedal
intriguing
"this isnt...this isnt *that* lossy right?"
"oh"
Is this the best pedal to make dial up modem type of sounds? Thanks in advance!
Those are indeed some good ass hertz. Aw yeah. Vulf compressor too please???
So, this or GenLoss mk2? I might like the tape character better, but with that Freeze, this seems to absorb a bit of magic from Mood mk2 as well.
bro got that alex g pedal.
I haven't bought a pedal for almost a year. DIdn't quite make it. As someone who's always adored the Ottobit Jr this gives me similar feels, but shot into the variable bit rate stratosphere with a side of DMT, and I am so on board.
Need a visual signal disruption equivalent unit
Do I need this if I have the gen loss? Feels like I do but I don’t know why
Only if you want this specific sound.
Digital mp3 compression degradation rather than the emulation of analog tape and vhs degradation.
Absolutely incredible as always!! What was the song at the end?
so it’s a syntax error on crack?
2:51 is this loss?
Lossy in the Sky with Diamonds.mp3
