- The @ChaseBlissAudio Condor HiFi came out at the perfect time for me! I had just done a live event and was extremely frustrated with my live tone. It felt lifeless, and I couldn't coax out the tone I wanted. I feel like Joel was inside my head, because mere days later, they drop this lovely bird! The Condor HiFi is an analog EQ/Filter/Overdrive that can really sculpt your sound into lots of different pallets! As I begun testing the limits of the Condor, I noticed it could do the sound of my @29Pedals EUNA ( • Can the Condor Hi-Fi R... , so then I got to asking myself, "what else can it do?" Well it turns out it can do A LOT! Come check it out as I explore how close it can get to the:
Chase Bliss Generation Loss Mkii: 2:45
1981 Inventions LVL: 3:35
Montreal Assembly Too Positive (Hotcake clone): 4:31
@jhspedals Bonsai in 808 mode (Tubescreamer): 5:33
Joyo King of Kings (Analog.man King of Tone clone): 6:18
How close are they? Which one's the closest? Which one's the farthest? Hit the comments below and let me know!

Just got a Condor HiFi in the Chase Bliss Mystery Box...
For some odd reason, before I listened to any demos whatsoever, I sat down and started playing Tisbury Lane. Come to your demo and that's what you open with :)
I was a bit sad I didn't get a more 'traditional Chase Bliss' weird pedal, but this thing is stinkin' amazing.
Great minds think alike!!! Yeah the Condor can still go weird. Just use the Ramp function!
Thanks for this. I echo the first comment, though. Sounds like you went the distance with the Mark ii. Are you happy with the change?
Indeed! I am curious about their new Dirt Bird and seeing what all it can do!
love the channel, learning a lot! i plan on putting my condor hifi very early in chain. would you recommend putting my compressor before or after?
I typically put compressor first before anything else
Love the tones. Do you ever have trouble getting the condor to do higher gain stuff? I find that the condor kinda spazzes out when the gain is anywhere above 1-2 o’clock and the drive is engaged. Overall level decreases as well so its louder with the drive disengaged, which i find odd. Been tough also trying to use it as a boost.
I have my condor after my drives as i find the LPF really useful post-drive to tame highs and harshness
TBH I never tried the condor for hi gain…and I enjoyed it so much that I traded it toward a preamp mkii!
thanks for this! just out of curiosity, would the germanium boost from benson complement the condor? where to put it? before or after?
The Ge boost from Benson would be a great compliment to the Condor! I’d probably put it before but definitely try it both ways. You never know which one you’ll prefer!! 🙌
Great video! I have an original Confor that I mainly use as a low pass, and debated sending it in for the HiFi mod, but missed the boat. Maybe I will demo a HiFi to see if I could use it as an OD.
Also, if you have never done so, try out a Timmy or Tim. I think you would really vibe with it as you go low gain!
I’ve tried Timmy’s before! Way back when! I’ll keep an eye out for one!
Paul C has a new one out I saw. Haven’t heard it all all though
I have not heard the new one yet either, I read the little manual pdf that he posted on his FB page, and it looked like it was going to cater to higher gain. I am interested in seeing how it comes out!
I’d love to get my hands on one!
@@thepedalcollaborative definitely get a tim, my personal favorite transparent drive. i've used a LOT of drive pedals but the tim has been on my board for 12+ years and will never go. currently also using the empress heavy menace and tallon dual. mostly using the condor for EQ
I’ll keep an eye out for a used Tim! Any version to try and get over another? How about his new pedal? Tried that at all?
Oh no. I want one now :)
You won’t regret it!!!
I'll take your word for it. The sounds for each example didn't sound much different.
In hindsight I realize I set them all up the way I play…which is transparent to light OD. Next time I’ll pull some variety 😆
Tisbury Lane. Noice.
🙌 for the win!!!
That riff brought me back. Haven't thought about Mae for awhile.
@GreyMatterPlatter it’s a gooder for sure! And I think they’re out touring again so let’s all go!
