Chase Bliss Big Time: Analog Delay Presets Explored

Chase Bliss, the Minnesota pedal alchemists, have a knack for cramming analog soul and digital wizardry into stompboxes that beg to be patched, prodded, and generally misbehaved with. Their latest, Big Time, is no exception—a delay pedal with ten factory presets, each serving as a launchpad for sonic exploration. In this official walkthrough, analog engineer John Snyder takes us on a guided tour through each preset, revealing not just the breadth of delay and modulation effects on offer, but also the underlying circuitry’s character. For those of us who think in feedback paths and filter voicings, this video is a

Chase Bliss Big Time: Delay, Character, and Creative Control in One Box

Chase Bliss, known for their playful yet deeply technical approach to effects, present Big Time—a delay pedal that’s more than just repeats. In this official walkthrough, the team dives into the pedal’s multi-layered architecture, blending 80s rack-inspired digital delay with analog-style preamps, matrix mixing, and a host of modulation and sequencing tricks. The video walks through Big Time’s unique sound-shaping tools, from voltage-controlled mixing to bias-driven crunch, and explores how these features interact in a real-world signal chain. If you’re after a delay that morphs from pristine to broken and everything in between, this is a pedal worth a closer
