Chase Bliss Shootout: Generation Loss MK2 vs. LOSSY | PlayJason 

RADIOHEAD FOR LIFE!

Get out of my bowl

Thank you! I knew it sounded like RadioHead Voot!

Yea! Both are vastly different even where they overlap. But I’m curious as well to see which one people will choose.

Sorry it wasn't for you! I'd say lookup the shallow water if you're still curious about the whole lofi thingy. But, thanks for watching!

@@JasonTMays Thanks! And let me clarify by saying that your demo was great. Just not the pedals for me.

Same

Thank you!!!! I am really self concious about this channel so this means a lot to me!

@@JasonTMaysdon’t be! Rock on bro, your gonna do #’s 🤟🏽💪🏽

Thank you! I figured this would be useful for folks curious about both!

I love the GEN LOSS!

No Surprises....yes, I'm going to try to replay to everyone of your comments with some kind of Radiohead pun. lol

I think we all have that trauma! lol. But at least we know what our music sounds like on a 56k modem.

@@JasonTMays ​ or we can stack and check how does a casette rip sounds on 56k modem or how would 56k modem mangled mp3 would sound while recorded on a casette

Well, I hope I was of assistance in answering this question...or giving you more to think about. :)

Yessir!!!! Thank you! :)

Yea!!! I hope CBA will do a fusion dance and make a limited edition pedal that combines both.

gen loss also has a freeze function that works differently in their classic mode, I like it cause you can freeze the sound then EQ it

@@24frannypack Ohhh!!!! I was totally unaware of that.

I checked GenLoss mk2 on guitar as last in chain - you can get very usable sounds and wonderful saturation, you just need to keep the wow and flutter on the safe side and subtlety goes a long way. OFC it's viable in certain contexts and I'm not sure if it's worth it to use Gen Loss purely for saturated vibrato/chorusy sounds, it might be a bit of an overkill using it just for that. On the other hand maybe besides Strymon Deco and Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Water there is no other pedal that comes to my mind that would introduce that much saturation and random movement while not being let's say a straight up delay (Demedash comes to mind) or a chorus. TL;DR: they can sound great on guitar while not going super wild, but they are much more than just guitar pedals

Yea! I just like that both are different enough to warrant them being two separate purchases. Admittedly I love both equally...but for different reasons. If CBA ever released a pedal that combined the best of both! That would sell like hotcakes!

Thank you!!!! I didn't know what combining them would be like until I did it on camera. lol. So, I'm glad it worked out! :)

Respectfully that’s the point, Gen loss is going to be more based on analog/tape degradation and LOSSY is just the digital equivalent which is more 56k modem and like low quality zoom cool. But I can see how this is awesome for people who enjoy making lofi music.

@@JasonTMays I know it in my prefrontal, but I'm feeling it in my amygdala. I've just never actively hard passed on a CBA pedal before and it turns out... I wasn't ready.

I was initially quite turned off, but discovered there are some sweet spots where the artifacts are actually quite pleasing, and the spectral resonator bit is very musical, IMO. I think it’s a lot more usable in the effects loop rather than in front of the amp. I got it mainly for use on drum machines, and it’s amazing for that, but have found a lot of usable tones on guitar, as well. I certainly had some buyer remorse after ordering, but after some time with it, I really enjoy it. It’s especially great at putting some texture back into your guitar signal after all the smooth reverb/delay effects. But it is definitely not for everyone, and can sound quite terrible. But those nasty sounds can be pretty great in a parallel processing situation.

Thank you! 🙏🏾

I WANT ONE SO FREAKING BAD!

@@JasonTMays It's a great piece of gear, hard to fathom how much it can actually do, particularly if you're hooked up with Midi.

Thank you!!! I got a video about the Seüf in the works!

Thank you! I've got a video on the Seuf coming up next week.

Thank you!!! And I'd absolutely love to do lessons. I'll work that into a future episode and give its run.

thank you!!!! :)

Dude!!!! Thank you!!!! This is probably the most awesome comment I've ever gotten! Thank you!

Nope!!! No latency issues to report.

Thank you!! They are by far my favorite band!

It's a riff I wrote and I've been playing for a while. It was inspired by the song "How" by the band Daughter

I say a Dragon Ball like fusion is needed!

Well that's the neat part, given your comment this pedal isn't for you so you dont have to...

Bruh, I work multiple jobs and make less than 40k a year….please stop with the whole classist response of what is and isn’t working class because someone invests any disposable income into the nicer things that brings them joy. God forbid a guy who works at a music store, writes for two music publications, and reviews gear on RU-vid actually have nice gear. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I worked really hard to afford those amps, and you're a clown if you think I paid anything close to current market value for any of them. We've dedicated our lives to making music and we've sacrificed lots of nice things to afford our gear. We just want you to have free healthcare, dude, but keep hating I guess.

A lot of things musicians own are purchased piece by piece and slowly over time. The gear I own still kind of blows me away when I look at the cost breakdown for my insurance, but I know each sacrifice I made to have them and all the things I don't have. These guys work hard to own the gear they do, and they're doing a fantastic job.

@marquishardy2341 for real. Those amps are the culmination of like 20 years of working overtime, working two jobs, skipping meals, lucky deals, and buying cheap things because they worked that miraculously became trendy and valuable overnight. Assuming I didn't work for them is hilarious.

@@realxandercuck facts, bro. But those who know know. So it's okay! 💙
