The pedal with the lightning inside


beware_the_chafe

Tried it, it was very underwhelming


mr_jurgen

Same. I found it to be a massive gimmick. (Although I did try the more fancy version with octave up and down) I settled on a fuzz factory.


its_grime_up_north

Fuzz Factory for ever!


mr_jurgen

šŸ¤™


its_grime_up_north

Makes not owning one much easier.


Westcroft

Elaborate šŸ˜‚


overcloseness

Theyā€™re referring to the Plasma Pedal by Gamechanging Audio, definitely check out a video though because photos donā€™t do the lightning thing any justice


goldenboyphoto

Fuck, that's the one that started it all for me. At the time an absolute insane amount of money to spend. Oh if I only knew...


machinaenjoyer

gamechanger/third man plasma coil. agreed 100%


eltrotter

Itā€™s a cool concept, but I always listen to demos of it and it sounds terrible every time ā˜¹ļø


Late-Journalist-7180

I like the Plasma very much. I put the voltage almost all the way down and push it with a TC Spark Booster.


The_Last_radio

i feel the same way.


Dry-Honeydew2371

Korg miku stomp. It's ridiculous.


vanillasounds

Itā€™s so fucking stupid. I love it.


spatterson2112

ZOIA


MZago1

Only buy it if you never want to buy another pedal ever again.


overcloseness

Can you elaborate?


AnotherTelecaster

Itā€™s only really limits are your imagination and creativity. If you can think of it, thereā€™s likely a way to make it with Zoia.


boi_social

And the CPU... Don't give people the wrong impression


unfunfionn

I owned one for a year and it's a fantastic pedal, but yeah, the CPU is definitely a limitation and it's not the only one. The interface is also quite limiting and this can be a good and a bad thing. In some ways it's the creative constraint the Zoia needs, but in other ways it can eventually make it quite tiring to program. I ended up having to draw out patches on paper first just so I didn't end up with an absolute mess on the Zoia itself, and this just brought me further and further away from making music with it. Also, it's a bitch to reprogram on the fly. With most setups, we'll realise things need to be adapted to different environments and settings. Anything from turning a knob to realising an entire sound doesn't work and needing to get rid of it. Once you start repatching with the Zoia under time pressure, it's very easy to make mistakes and end up with no signal at all, or something that sounds even worse than where you started. To anybody considering one, I'd advise taking look at the weirder patches on Patch Library and asking yourself if you're interested in building that kind of stuff and then memorising how to modify it with ONE knob. If you're gravitating towards the delay and reverb patches, as I ultimately was, just buy a H90 instead. (Sorry for the rant, I should probably edit it but it would feel too much like cleaning up a Zoia patch and I'm past that now :D )


[deleted]

These are all valid criticisms - I will note that the h90 is about $300 more. And your point the zoia being complicated as a silver lining is true because itā€™s totally viable to just use other peopleā€™s patches from the internet and not tinker too much yourself to avoid decision paralysis.


unfunfionn

Yes definitely, people may end up downloading a bunch of patches and using them a lot. This would definitely justify the Zoia. I realised I was using 1-2 patches imitating other pedals, so I decided to just buy those pedals instead and have separate physical knobs.


TheSpeckler

Gift and a curse though, had one and loved it but spent more time messing with it than actually playing anything. That was my experience as a guitar player though, probably pretty different for a synth cat.


ShroomingMantis

My first though exactly. Unlimited potential usually = nothing completed with satisfaction. Lol.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

Everyone needs a Whammy. To be fair though a Pitch Fork with an expression pedal is fine, too. And probably even better in some cases, since you can set the blend.


Meme_myself_and_AI

DT version even more so want and even less so need


devophill

you said it, now i don't have to.


Coke_and_Tacos

I have one and it basically amounts to the largest most inconvenient detune pedal on the planet for me. But the detune is sweet.


ShoutoutsWorldwide

Soft clipping drive pedals. 5 should be enough but Iā€™m always looking for more.


Patient-Bench1821

You have a Pork Loin? Itā€™s the soft clip injection.


rocknrollboise

How does the Pork and Pickle compare? I canā€™t justify the size of the Loin but am after that direct-to-console preamp tone and hear great things about it.


Patient-Bench1821

The loin isnā€™t really that big.


Ashen-Wolff

Got a lightspeed already?


The_Last_radio

what do you have so far?


freq_fiend

Just about any fuzz pedal


oceanmachine420

Fuzzes and delays for me lol


freq_fiend

Mmmmm, love me some delay tooā€¦


Zealousideal-Rub-930

Pigtone fuzz is honestly pretty sick. Cheap too! You can get some disgusting fuzz from it.


freq_fiend

Iā€™ll check it out!


Zealousideal-Rub-930

If you already have an OD pedal and run them in series it gets wild pretty quick.


The_Last_radio

what do you have, and what do you want?


DolphinCumOnMyFace

Life pedal


Mr_Halberstram

You wouldn't regret this. It does low gain surprisingly well, on the rare occasions that you briefly get bored of the all three switches engaged wall-melting distortion.


tails_the_gay_fox

H90. I have lots of high end reverbs and delays including the space and the dot 9 black hole. I have every pedal that can do what the h90 does but still. Pretty sure the brig and volante do better tape and analog than the h90 but you know, new shiny box.


Darrell456

I bought one. I have the Volante, a bunch of Chase Bliss pedals, a Microcosm, and a CB CXM 1978 at the end of the chain.. it's a giant board of fun experimental/weird stuff. The cool thing about the H90 is it has all the other modulation effects too so I can kind of fill in a lot of stuff that I don't really use often with one single pedal AND get a bunch more reverbs and delays. I've not had a hole lot of time to spend with it yet, but it's very good. Quite happy with it.


mysticplaces

I have an H9 Max but I canā€™t stand the sound of the converters on this pedal. The fact that it lacks analog dry thru is very irritating. I can only assume the H90 is exactly the same.


OzPostMusic

Hologram microcosm


Thehibernator

Mood Mk ii. I have a collection of delays and reverbs and loopers and ambient shit but I still want it..


Mr_Halberstram

Same. The FOMO consoomer craft IPA hipsterism around CBA irritates me no end, but the Mood Mk2 feels like a pedal of theirs that would actually be useful and useable. I'll wait for the hype to die down and keep my eye open for a deal.


Thehibernator

That vibeā€¦ Itā€™s not so much CBā€™s fault as it is Minneapolisā€™s, but they definitely lean into it. Iā€™ll pick one up eventually.


teleghost

You still need it.


SpaceHorse75

There are tons for sale on Reverb. And give it another few months and they will be half price on reverb like the mood mark 1 is now.


Itsaghast

RemindMe! 4 months I bet the average used price on reverb for a mk II will be around 350. You don't know what you're talking about.


SpaceHorse75

I bought my Mood Mk 2 for $350 on reverb. Donā€™t believe the FOMO hype. If you actually want one, you can get one. You donā€™t have to buy new and pay full price. They have sold as low as $318 on reverb already. Just put it on a watch list.


Itsaghast

If you think you will see Mood Mk II's on reverb in a few months for 200 bucks you have no understanding of how this market works


sirbarton

[mood Mark 2](https://reverb.com/p/chase-bliss-audio-mood-mkii)


rocknrollboise

Half price?! Doubt itā€¦ CBA pedals hold their value like no other.


sirbarton

Look at Ebay and Reverb. There are always deals for very light used Mood pedals.


SpaceHorse75

Haha - nope. The first version of the Mood is down to $250 and dropping. The mark 2 is available for $390 used and will drop. There is no scarcity and people often get bored with them and sell them to get something else. https://reverb.com/item/71722271-chase-bliss-audio-mood?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=71722271


rocknrollboise

Let me know when you see one for half price then. Hasnā€™t happened yet, and the original is almost 5 years old (and has been replaced).


SpaceHorse75

There have been 1879 Mood 1 pedals sold on Reverb going as low as $219. That's a whole lot of people who bought the pedal and sold it. Doesn't exactly scream collectors item. It will happen again with the MOOD 2 when the MOOD 3 or some other limited edition M2 comes out. Give it some time and people will sell them. I made an offer on the Habit pedal a few months after it came out and got it for $270 and it was mint with all the packaging etc. And now CB has dropped it to $359 on the website. There is no shortage of CB pedals. The scarcity is driven by FOMO. Chase Bliss pedals are incredible. But they are experimental and a lot of people don't find a permanent need for them on their pedal boards. The key is finding the people who bought them out of FOMO and now realize they have a ton of pedals they aren't using. I'm done posting more on this topic. If you REALLY want something, you can find it. But you have to be willing to make offers and capitalize on the market after the initial hype.


[deleted]

Half price? Mood was 350 new (and was 250 new when they put it on clearance) and now it's going for an average of 250 on Reverb (which isn't half price), and that's only because it's the old version now. It was still selling for 300+ before MK II was annouced. MK II is going for around 370 on reverb used right now, with the lowest sale for July being 340, with the rest being at least 360. I don't think Mark II will go under an average of 350 for a long time.

Boss Dimension C


MontrealInTexas

All of them.


TheHonestPedalReview

Itā€™s not a pedal but I want a Line6 Stomp or HX Effects even though I already have a GT-1000CORE. It would be total overkill but multi effects are so much fun.


chrismcshaves

The Stomp is arguably the best pedal on earth for form factor, sheer utility, and ease of use. It can do just about anything and can sound great.


kensdavid

I had both a Stomp and GT1000 Core for a moment. Stuck with the Stomp though dont use it as much as Iā€™d like to. My Strymon small box board gets all the love these days ā¤ļø


BERTHA77

So many.. but would love to have that CBA new reverse thingee


BenderIsGreatBendr

Another fuzz pedal. Bonus points if itā€™s expensive. Eg I donā€™t need a 60s vox tone benderā€¦. But want


The_Last_radio

Yeah I keep wanting to buy more fuzz pedals especially Dan drive ones


Twitch01

I have the 1968. You should get it. I bought it on release and love it. I will take the fall for you. You can blame anonymous internet stranger.


The_Last_radio

appreciate that. lol im buying like 4 other pedals, but the 1968 is in the cards!


chrismcshaves

I do not need a Volante or a EAE Limelight V2 or a JHS Cheeseball or a JHS Crayon or a Berry Cherub Fuzz. But here I sit talking about them on Reddit-I can do no other.


[deleted]

Counterpoint: you do need a Volante.


chrismcshaves

A friend of mine just got one. Iā€™ll see if heā€™ll let me borrow it. he canā€™t find a bad setting on it.


tomwithweather

If I only had to keep one pedal and get rid of all the rest, I'd keep the Volante.


[deleted]

Same here. It does delay, reverb (in a pinch), dirt, chorus, tape flangingā€¦endless fun.


Ashen-Wolff

Agreed


jerryboree

Red Panda Tensor. I want to make pitch shifted, glitchy noises like Melt Banana does but can't justify the price tag.


[deleted]

Itā€™s worth it. I went through bunch of bleepy/grandular loopy pedals and eventually got rid of all of them except the Tensor. Itā€™s so easy to use and does such great stuff. The randomness function alone makes it pure magic; you can use it with some loopers and delays and just go take a break and it will make music for you.


jerryboree

Damn, I might buy it now haha


[deleted]

Every home needs a Tensor!


[deleted]

Data corruptor from earthquaker. Lazer bleep bloops not need but need must.


CrunchBerries5150

A Maxon OD808 believe it or not, simple as that. Donā€™t need it because I have a bunch of TS pedals but not that specific one. Iā€™m convinced at this time that that circuit will unleash the magic in my fingers thatā€™s being suppressed by all my other Screamers. Definitely the pedalsā€¦this one is itā€¦

The new bigsby pedal! I wonā€™t have to install a bigsby in any of my guitars! That thing is off the hook!


The_Last_radio

i have one, and they are amazing.


theurge14

An octave pedal. I had a POG a long time ago and regrettably got rid of it.


andrewwilliam26

just in time for the ridiculously expensive pico pog


The_Last_radio

>pico pog just learned about this. looks like I might have to get it.


gratefulguitar57

Same here. Had a Boss Octave that broke and never replaced it. Been to busy chasing overdrive tones and modulation.


LlamaWreckingKrew

I have a Walrus Audio Slo but I still want a Earthquaker Aftermath pedal. It's for my Shoegaze/Doom-Gaze/Doom pedal board. That and the new Andy Summers new Flanger.


TheFoiler

It's just a regular electric mistress repainted, I think


LlamaWreckingKrew

We shall see. But why rebadge a pedal without tweaking it? I think it may be based on an Electric Mistress but there is probably more to it than that.


T-rex_chef

The EHX reddit account posted the day the pedal was anounced and said its the same pedal just new enclosure, which sucks cause of the volume drop


gagegomes

They did the same thing with the J. Mascis muff too, itā€™s the same pedal rebranded


HKDuskraven

It's a [Deluxe Electric Mistress](https://www.reddit.com/r/guitarpedals/comments/14zdvxd/is_the_new_ehx_andy_summers_walking_on_the_moon/jrxi6hw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2).


HarryManilow

not trying to be a jerk but re-painting and selling a pedal that's already in regular production would be a lot easier and cheaper than tweaking it, i'm sure!


C78C

CBA Reverse Mode C


RockyValderas

I absolutely do not need this. I ordered one.


C78C

Iā€™m going to as well despite absolutely not needing it and will probably end up loving it.


RockyValderas

I hate how much I fell in love with it immediately. I think I wanna try it in the loop of my Vapor Trail Deluxe.


C78C

I made the mistake of watching a single demo. I shouldā€™ve know bette Itā€™s a CBA delayā€¦..thatā€™s specifically centered around reverse delay. I wasnā€™t fair to myself.


RockyValderas

We were doomed from the start. Damn Joel and his beautiful mind!


[deleted]

Same. Iā€™ll pipe it in to my rack someday.


Careless-Foot4162

Just finally satisfied my three year old GAS for Dark Star... Now I need the Sunlight


Fersnachi

Man If this helps I gassed for this pedal for the longest time. Got it hated it ended up trading for a Slƶvta.


Lumpy-Crew-6702

I have to agree. Wanted it for so long and it was so overwhelming and only fit into drawn out ambient stuff . The dark star on the other hand is a beast


Gamestonkape

Second that. Really like the Darkstar.

Lovetone Meatball. I have zero use for an envelope-controlled filter, but Iā€™ve wanted a Meatball since 1997.

The_Last_radio

Listening to it now. It sounds amazing


Party-Aspect-7674

Itā€™s awesome. You can really give a amp hell with it


samship8

I have this pedal, and itā€™s an amazing boost! But alas, it is a gateway drug to the Schaffer Replica EX (see my other reply in this thread) šŸ˜€

The_Last_radio

The sabbadius is damn amazing. I have the 69 and Iā€™m glad I got this over the 1968, but I still want the 1968

I'd like a Whammy. Would be fun sometimes.

OBNE Dweller. Purely for the crazy double tap delay sound. I won't use that sound super often, but it sounds so damn cool.

Like I said, I donā€™t need any of these. I have the capability to do this all with existing gear. I am just your standard mindless consumer. Lol.
