Habit - Video manual 

Thanks!

I am not sure this simile helps to win people over who may not be inclined to give CB products a try. Bon Iver doesn’t spring to mind when I think of the word “inspiring” - but CB pedals will inspire most pedal-open music makers.

@@bitegoatie lmao bon iver is inspiring, and i get the vibe too manuel. adventure time, bon iver, the indietronica genre as a whole

@@bitegoatie ...like listening to [insert favorite band name here] for the first time. Let's not crap on someone for their personal taste... I'm not a huge Bon Iver fan, but the sentiment was the important part. I think most people that read his comment will get that. Or maybe not. Either way... Who cares?

@@andromedusmoat9608 Your formulation would have been great. Tying your impression of a product or company so directly to personal experience of a band isn’t so wise, which is the drift of my comment. It had nothing to do with Bon Iver other than that being the example. No one knows what another person’s impression of a band will be, exactly, so in terms of communication, Manuel (who made a sweet comment, from the standpoint of intent) could have said something like “The creativity of Chase Bliss is something else. It’s so inspiring, like your first experience of a band you wind up loving.” Or some such thing, which would at least land with music lovers as a group. I had no intention of crapping on any band, much less someone’s taste. This would be a pointless exercise. Of course, I could have been clearer about this myself in a medium in which everyone writes and reads too quickly, without much (if any) forethought or rereading.

@@bitegoatie Really dude? I 'read it wrong'... Ok. Someone so full of themselves maybe should refrain from commenting altogether. Spare us your wisdom.

love it!!

How do you get sounds out of the kalimba into the pedal? Have a mic plugged in recording it like an acoustic guitar? Or do you have some kind of pickup attached to the kalimba? I’d love to try this

@@kwillomusic Hokema offers three different Elektro-Kalimbas. You only have to plug in a cable (6.3 mm jack). I usually run it thru a passive mixer (Synthcone Lo-Fi Matrix splitter) which makes it necessary to enhance the signal (Art Tube MP) and then to my amp. Using the Synthcone enables me to use several effect pedals at the same time, create feedback loops, change the wet/dry mix and so on. It is really fun to play with!

@@Da1AliBi sounds incredible !!! I will look into this thank you so much friend :)

Lol... no

Thats why these pedals cost so much 💰

$50 more than mood

@@dissent1019 Thanks man, also remembered that it's mono and was going to pair it up with a Moog Matriarch, which is stereo, so it's a no go.. real shame as it seems amazing

THIS IS MONO?!?! How ?!

I put all my CBA pedals on the top row of my pedalboard so that the dipswitches are not blocked by anything. Maybe try that?

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure the dip switch settings are saved into the presets. As such you can setup different presets using midi and recall as needed. It's not quite CC control over them, but can get you pretty much anything you want from them. Maybe setup different presets based on the dip switches as a base setting, then play with the knobs etc in real time off that.

Dip settings are included in presets. If you’ve got midi control, you can access any dip settings you love by saving presets extensively.

Agreed. I feel the same way about Blooper. Very interesting and creative pedal that's useless in performance because of it's size. I'm not going to bend over or sit on the ground at a gig while I play with the knobs. If it was larger, like the boomerang, it would be so useful in live scenarios. Small size is great for board real-estate and studio work but not for gigs IMO.

If you have midi control, why would you even need the dip switches? I always regarded the dipswitches as very basic place holders for full midi control.

It is most definitely a thing. You do need a special box to convert the MIDI signal, but otherwise it's a piece of cake. Here's the MIDI box: www.chasebliss.com/shoputility/p/midibox And here's the MIDI manual: static1.squarespace.com/static/622176a9b8d15d57ffbf5700/t/623df805e581ac199b357a37/1648228358128/Habit_MIDI+Manual_Pedal_Chase+Bliss.pdf

Today I have been runing Blooper -> Moode -> Habit

The only stereo pedal we currently make is the CXM 1978 reverb, but I love it with my OB-6!

I practically feel like this and Mood were designed with Radiohead in mind.

Yep, clock sync is available on Habit!

Ha, still got mmwh and still love it.. amazing pedal

Yep!

Absolutely. Just flick on the "scan" dip switch and you're all set. You can also use the "sweep" and "polarity" dip switches to customize the expression behaviour.

We weren't able to get this implemented, but you can get somewhat close by messing with Scan and Spread since they are locked to Size. Send me an email at sales@chasebliss.com if you have any other questions.

Hey Justin, unfortunately not directly on the pedal itself. You can however get close to this by using Scan in Manual Mode (via dipswitch) and using a step sequencer and assigning each step to a random CC value for the Scan knob. If you have any further questions/concerns feel free to email us at help@chasebliss.com

Yup!

it's just volume for echoes, but you can kill the dry signal completely with the kill dry dip switch :)

@@ChaseBlissAudio Thank you. So, just to be sure I understand the wet/dry function there, the "kill dry" dip switch will allow me to send signal into the pedal and then hear only the affected/wet signal?

@@jamisonlee9611 that's right!

we still have a dealer backlog we're working through, but we're hoping to do another run later this summer ☺

Only one modifier can be active at a time. In mode functions like additive mode on blooper.

@Eric Bennetts agreed!

I feel like the blooper is perfect for whole ideas. The fact that you can go between different layers and have access to your whole song history makes it a great songwriting tool. Habit is a way better delay though, and it seems to have modifiers built for interesting delays rather than loops. In other words, it’s more fun! But it doesn’t appear to have the recording capabilities of blooper to save that fun.

@@rakimhinds6388 agreed! But if you have a DAW to record then thats not really needed

@Tending Tropic I think I prefer to stay out of the daw when song writing since I just want to edit my ideas to death. The blooper is perfect to coming back to an idea later, since it pushes you to take it even further and add effects.

@Eric Bennetts I think you should consider saving for extras for the blooper before you buy, like an expression pedal, midi controller, extension foot switch, and midi box. It really makes a huge difference, which is kind of annoying given how expensive it is by itself.

The memory is always 3 minutes long, but you access the memory more quickly by flipping the Manual dipswitch and turning the Scan knob up

Bro, someone just uploaded a habitat patch to patchstorage. It is so fucking close to this pedal its crazy. And someone right after them made a DBA exploding head patch and its probably one of the best patches of all time mainly because of the control scheme. Go check them out they aren't getting enough love! Its like $600 worth of pedals lol

@@darionbuck4614 Thx for the heads up! I've built a bunch of great patches, now, but I love studying others work!

@@DetroitMicroSound what are some of yours? I'll check them out

@@darionbuck4614 Sorry, I don't release my patches, because they all correspond to the processing of my tracks. I should make some cool patches and upload them, though. After having my ZOIA since the beginning of 2021, it's about time, I join the community. My favorite module by far, is the granular module, and most that I do in ZOIA, uses it, or multiples of it. I would love to see an expanded granular module, with more parameter control, capabilities.

We are working on new field guide manuals for all the pedals!

Yep!

Yes.

The way I understand it, is that Blooper, Mood, and Habit are three methods of time-based effects with different focuses. Mood is Ambience, Blooper is straight looping, and Habit is Delay. Seeing as Blooper can be used as a delay, definitely overlap, but still more geared towards creating structured overdubbed loops

Some similarities for sure, we wrote a little post here that goes into the differences: www.chasebliss.com/habit-vs

@@saleschasebliss6565 Already on my board!

We sold out of our first run, but some dealers still have them in stock! The next run from us will be this summer

but seriously, super excited for this to arrive! 😁

Arturia Pigments granular plug in has this covered but it comes are a price lol 😂

How bout a whole album of just that? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b2Iogr88mfM.html

If you use Blooper as a delay, you can absolutely use the modifiers in real time on its repeats.

@@nottaller1993 I did not know that! I should look into this, do you know the best video showcasing this delay mode of the blooper? can you sync the delay tempo or tap it or is it unsyncable?

@@tendingtropic7778 Vintage King has my favorite Blooper demo, they get into all types of great stuff it can do, including adding modifiers to the delay. Basically, hit the left foot switch a few times and when it’s red it’s a delay. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FbFHUMnogg4.html

@@tendingtropic7778 you can either tap in a really short 'delay' time, or send a MIDI message. There may still be a slight lag, but it's fairly close to real time

is thermae discontinued? sure? not so according to their site

@@tendingtropic7778 It's been "out of stock" for a very long time. It has essentially been discontinued for no apparent reason. I think they vastly underestimated the demand for that pedal, and consequently that's why the prices in the used market have exceeded the original new price. Someone at the executive level position in this company needs to make the decision to start manufacturing more of them. Part of running a company is being able to satisfy the customer. When you can't even make the supply to satisfy the demand, then of course you're going to have unhappy customers.

@@WingmanStudios ok perhaps I should have kept mine a bit longer then haha

@@WingmanStudios The pandemic has severely impacted our ability to manufacture and we are currently struggling to meet demand. Thermae are particularly challenging to build due to a litany of parts availability and supply chain issues. We are shipping them out to dealers in the order we have received PO’s when we can get them built, and will list them for direct sale again once we are caught up on our massive backlog.

I wanna see a Chase Bliss version of Outward personally

@@lilacrain3283 dont know this pedal, i will be checking it out. Shallow Waters is my next purchase, though I fell in love with the effectrode phaser, I want more of their pedals.

I also own both of those and after having spent about 2 hours getting lost in the Habit, I would say it still worth a look and is much deeper than I expected!

@@Cesiumswimsuit haha ok you sold me.

I have Mood and Blooper ....I'm thinking how exactly to incorporate this but the Blooper does a lot of this already. I feel like this pedal is best for someone who wants something like blooper/mood but not both - I think the thermae would serve mood/blooper best for a 3 pedal chain

@@gl00merz I got to thinking more about and actually yeah it does have a bit of blooper and mood together, but what this pedal has that those don't is a memory bank to scan through. So you played something for 3 minutes and then using the scan and spread knob, some of those past bits come back to haunt you over your present bits... So kinda neat and different then mood and blooper. That's the main thing that makes this pedal attractive.

More than Mood?

@@darionbuck4614 ct5 had been around years before mood. even 856 for zellersasn was pre-mood

It's a "status" pedal, most people who buy it do so for the flex, play some useless wannabe ambient noodling with it for a while and then sell.

@@skypekai jealousy

Wait….music genres are still relevant?

Ya...I'm starting to see it that way

I wish there were more VSTs with knobs. But yeah, CB audio quality is atrociously digital.

This comment is similar to someone saying "you must like a tubescreamer or boss metal zone because this is the only sound that is acceptable/relevant." I don't like/use a lot of pedals for how I play but I would never say those pedals are not relevant for certain sounds. They just aren't for me. I have 6 chase bliss pedals and they are some of my favorite pedals. There are too many opinions in your statement that just don't mean much. That is the wonderful thing about music and gear sounds. Nothing is fact if someone else can say "I love that sound." I think they are underpriced for what I can get out of them and the decades of use they will provide.

Lmao such a strange complaint

i noticed something was off about the audio, and now that you pointed it out, it’s all i notice now lol
