Chase Bliss
Chase Bliss Audio was founded in Minnesota by Joel Korte, building pedals that pair analog audio circuits with MIDI control, dip switches, secondary functions and an app editor — while still working as plain stompboxes if you never open the companion app. The names signal the approach: Habit, Condor, Lossy, Brothers AM. We've followed nearly every release, including the Goodhertz collaboration on Lossy and the Analog Man team-up on Brothers AM. Here's everything we've written about them.

Chase Bliss FAQ4 questions
What is Chase Bliss?
A Minnesota company founded in 2013 by Joel Korte that makes high-end effects pedals, used with electric guitar and synthesizers and for manipulating audio in the studio. Its pedals are known for combining analogue signal paths with digital control.
What are the dip switches on Chase Bliss pedals for?
They expose a second layer of routing and behaviour behind the front panel — which controls are affected by the ramping, how the effect is ordered, and so on. It is why a Chase Bliss pedal takes longer to learn than most and why the manuals matter.
What is the Chase Bliss Mood?
A pedal built around two independent 'micro-loopers' that capture and reprocess what you have just played, rather than a conventional delay or reverb. It is the clearest example of the company's approach — an instrument in its own right more than an effect on the end of a guitar.
Why are Chase Bliss pedals so expensive?
Small-batch US manufacture, dense analogue circuitry with digital control, and a catalogue that mostly does not compete on price. They are aimed at players who want a specific and unusual capability rather than a better version of a standard effect.
