Instant Ambient from One Guitar Strum with the Chase Bliss Onward Pedal #chaseblissaudio


I’ve been having fun with the Chase Bliss Onward pedal I received in my Mystery Box and wanted to see how far it can push a single strum from a guitar. A dumb idea that ended up being a sort of pseudo tutorial!

  • I'd love to hear what this pedal sounds like, but there's some dude talking over it the whole time.

  • This was excellent in so many ways, but I’ll just say I’ve already ordered one – now I feel like I actually be able to use it ???? Thank you

  • This is awesome, and of course helps more broadly on the functionality of all chase bliss pedals (IMHO). Also, are you Canadian? (the accent!;)). But seriously, I love this tutorial – sub'd! ????????

  • I also got the onward in a mystery box and I am quite happy, it didn’t really catch my attention back then and is a lot of fun so far. Surprisingly so the most fun so far I had pairing it with a drum machine. 
    I was expecting only one strum and no further touching of the guitar, but was surprised to find no touches on the pedal as well! Interesting and this way I learned some interesting options. Haven’t read the manual yet and was hoping for the existence of some of the functions you used.

  • I also got an Onward in my Mystery Box, and it’s a beast. I feed it with some Bass VI and capture the results in a long looper (Gauss Field Looper on iPad).

  • Such a cool video, thank you. You are opening up this pedal to me… can’t wait to play more with mine

  • I'm one of those people still waiting for my mystery box and really looking forward to seeing what I get. I think the Onward is probably at the top of my list, but I think I'd be happy with any of their pedals.
