In this video, I check out the new Habit pedal by Chase Bliss. It’s an experimental delay pedal that allows you to randomly re-introduce audio from the last three minutes into your current music.

Chase Bliss Audio has started a Kickstarter for their new looper & delay pedal, Blooper. Some of you may be following our YouTube series “Blooper Reel” with Knobs documenting the R&D on this project, but if not, here are some of the high points of what this product can do. Chase Bliss Audio is targeting a release/ship date of Thursday, December 12th so that bloopers are safely received by Christmas / Winter Holidays.

Planned Blooper Features

• 40 seconds max loop time (48kHz, 16 bit) with ultra-low-noise hardware / XMOS DSP processor, 32 save-able presets and full undo / redo capability
• 8 layers of undo/redo, unlimited overdubs (oldest layer gets discarded after 8)
• Layers knob to navigate through undo/redo layers
• 6 loop modifiers (quantized & free time/speed changes, scrambler, trimmer, filter, and dropper) available over 2 independent channels 
• Normal, additive (effects get recorded), and one-shot sampling modes 
• Full midi implementation via 1/4″ TRS
• Repeats knob for fading loops or to use blooper like a tap-tempo delay
• CV clock sync and modulation control
• Stability control introducing optional tape and warble effects to loop.
• Chase Bliss ramping control (including randomization and ability to sync to loop time)
• Expression control over any parameter either individually or simultaneously
• Dip-switches for customizing behavior: dry kill, straight to overdub, etc.
