Love watching people enjoying the Thermae, it was the first CB pedal I wanted. I had to wait a year before one became available (bought 3 other CB pedals in the meantime🙄). Finally got one, it blew me away, it’s like being accompanied by angels, a glorious musical box 😁 Great stuff, subscribed👍
I only have the Habit, but this was the first Chase Bliss pedal I had ever seen years ago and I’ve so longed for one but never had one available when I had the money or had money when one was available…no other pedal works those pitch shifted delays that sound so lush and beautiful, and your video is the first I’ve seen the explanation why. For a long time I thought it was discontinued, but if I could add this (along with a Blooper and GenLoss2) with my Habit and Microcosm (my only 2 pedals aside from the Boss RC-202 looper) to my setup it would be the dream pedalboard for the glitchy, spacey, deteriorating ambient soundscapes I want to create that I hear in my head
@@ichidome I’m actually putting together a video with the Habit and Generation Loss MKii (I picked one up since the original comment) and an eKalimba and it’s a really fun pedal to work with. It’s like a delay with a buffer scanner for a 3 minute loop. The eKalimba makes it’s usual notes, but can be a percussive instrument as well and the Habit plays nicely with those sounds intermingling
Should’ve bought it when it was a $399 new release. I saved up, but they stopped making them, snd the used market was already $100-$200 more than the new price.
I thought there was modular versions of some of their stuff. Maybe they were just one offs, special made for certain people. I really wish they’d do another release of the Thermae, as they sell for so much, on the used market.
Rad demo, I think some people with negative comments here are unable to “see the forest for the trees.” This pedal with subtle amounts spilling into another milder washy delay then a big reverb will create epic movement in ambient tones
That’s a beautiful sounding pedal. And a really cool idea. Wonder if one could build something similar with some PT2399 chips, I think I still have some of those laying around…
Isn’t it though? I’ve played around with a few other digital pedals that can achieve a similar effect, and though I’ve never participated in the “analog vs digital” war, something about this particular pedal’s tone is super special to me compared with its digital counterparts
had this pedal for a couple months, after watching this video i instantly read the whole manual walking through everything with the pedal beside me doing the examples… i can’t believe it’s been sitting there for months there so much depth to it, i feel silly for neglecting it… Looking to pair this soon with the Mk2 Mood!
They’re definitely different, I think the Microcosm can do quite a bit “more”, but the Thermae has such a unique quality to it and makes sounds I really can’t get anywhere else. I’d pick Thermae if I could only have one, but just because it’s more my style!
Oh yeah, what a great pedal for writing toe tapper songs! Jk. This is a ridiculous toy. With very few applications for real song writing. And there will be no famous songs featuring a thermae because it is too niche and weird
Only unusable to closed minded people :P It's definitely usable for a lot of applications. Don't need to use the sequencer, then you have a nice BBD delay with modulation. If you want to use the sequencer, then you can get into ambient / experimental side.
