- Guitar and Generative App demo of the ambient dream weaver, the Chase Bliss Audio Mood
M O O D is a two channel granular micro-looper / delay. Designed to be playful and immediate, it is a study of interaction. From stretchy drones, flurries of pitch-shifted delays and granular sound studies, it's all in there, and that's only a fraction of what this whimsical soundscape device can do. Is this the most ambient pedal ever made? I definitely think it's up there with the best!

This is one of the finest and most inspiring ambient/soundscape devices ever made. So many unbelievable reshaping and constantly evolving textures. Hope you enjoyed the demo, and hope you're still enjoying or tolerating the quarantine/covid-19 video format. I just can't go to my regular video studio right now, so I'm shooting these things at home on my tiny desk. I think this one turned out really well though. If you dig it, then please consider leaving a like, comment or sharing the demo with your friends. Your support always means the world to me. Thank you - Stefan
This is the best break down of the mood I have seen. Wonderful. Thank you so much for your hard work!
This is THE BEST Mood demo, hands-down. Thanks for sharing. I have a Mood already, but will continue to just enjoy the sounds here...
i personally feel that subtext at 2:55 so much.
also: 7:04 withing = within + othling?
@@declandebarra - I'm humbled beyond belief. Thank you! 🙏
@@neenerheaddj - Oh wow! Thank you so much for the unbelievably kind words. Happy the demo was able to provide you with enjoyment and inspiration even though you already own the pedal ☺
I've seen so many pedal reviewers who demo every pedal with their favorite blues licks or quasi-shredding. This works fine for OD/Distortion but when it comes to spacey/ambient pedals they apply those same techniques which do not translate well. One reviewer I saw took the Hologram Infinite Jets right out of the box, plugged it in, fiddled with a few knobs and then complained that he couldn't get any good sounds! Dude, that is a very complicated, delicate and subtle pedal. It comes with a thick manual and takes time, practice and experimentation. Reviews like that do a disservice to their viewers! Stefan on the other hand, gets it. He understands how these pedals work. takes the time show off their best qualities and demonstrates how we, the atmospheric/ambient crowd can get the most out of them. For that Mr. Fast, I am grateful.
Thank you! I'm happy you can see how much time goes into learning these devices and producing these demos. It's a lot, but it makes it all worth it when all the work is appreciated on the other end of the screen. ❤
Totally agree Frank. This is the first demo that made me even consider this pedal for the price. You can see (and hear) the amount of work that Stefan puts into his demos.
Great comment. I love the infinite jets but you are right it takes time and effort to learn. Pedals like the IJ and Mood are very much like instruments on their own. I did almost fall victim to this mentality when playing with the Meris Hedra but it is now one of my favourites. The Mood, Hedra, and Infinite Jets are an incredible combo. The guy who reviewed the IJ probably didn't even calibrate it.
This demo definitely sold me on the pedal.. not really my thing, but I have a friend who would really really dig this.
Well said!!
Best guitar pedal demo-er in the whole of youtubeland
Wow! You’re too kind 🤯🧡🧡🧡
@@thepedalzone not at all, the effort and time it must take to come up with tasteful and practical pieces of music for each of the settings on this pedal... Hats off to you sir
Except knobs, he has ascended youtubeland
FACT!
This is a crazy good dissertation in post rock. You now have earned your PhD.
Uuuuuh! So I’m ready for my PostDoc in Post-Rock now? 😊
ThePedalZone Ha! Well played sir!
I always thought the Mood wasn't really for me... until I saw this demo of course. Absolutely killer showcase, Stefan!
Extremely kind of you. Awesome to hear that my demo was able to provide you with a new perspective on this killer pedal 😊
So far I haven't seen a single review of a pedal that Stefan has done and felt "I don't need this pedal". On the contrary! I see a pedal demo and feel that I could use this pedal that I've never heard of before, it that I've known about for a while and heard many times.
Watching through this I keep saying out loud : "*That's* what I've been trying to find out!". Thanks dude. You covered it all.
Thank you for demonstrating so many options I had not even imagined yet. Looking forward to more of your videos in the future.
This is by far the best Mood demo.
Oh boy! That’s seriously kind of you. Thank you! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the sounds and the sights 😊
I own a Mood and still come back to this video for inspiration. You're playing to this pedal as if you're taming a wild horse. It's quite impressive!
Thank you so much! MOOD is definitely a wild beast. It's difficult to fully tame, but if you accept its quirky unique nature, and love it for what it is, then it will give you so much inspiration back.
most straightforward and musical demo ive seen of the mood - amazing!
Best demo of the MOOD so far. Puts it on my wish list! Thanks Stefan!
What an awesome pedal!
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
I was excited to hear you were doing this. I've had the MOOD for a while and struggled with it. This is far and away the most useful demo I've seen in terms of how the pedal actually works and how to get sounds that will actually work live. Seriously Stefan, you have a gift for explaining and demoing these things so well done and thank you.
Man! Thank you! I'm really happy to hear that my demo helped make the functionalities and inner workings of MOOD more clear to you. It truly is a "choose your own ambient adventure" situation. This pedal can be almost whatever you want it to be.
Wow Stefan, the way you play, manipulate and deconstruct M O O D, makes it not only easier to understand, but you come up with techniques I haven't even thought of and it make it sound so, so sublime. Thank you for this, I think this is amongst your best work, if not your best, considering the restrictions you had. I look forward to shaking your hand next NAMM, you are one of the very very best, my friend.
Doug, your kindness is transcending. Your comment is truly heartwarming and incredibly motivating. I can’t wait to see you again soon, my friend. Thank you so much 🧡🧡🧡
This is one of the best pedal demos I have ever seen, and it is of a very challenging pedal. Real purposeful musical applications not just silly noises. Bravo, man!
Oh wow! Thank you so much ❤
Dude. This is stunning. Incredible sounds coaxed out of this box. Right from the jump this is insane. Bravo!
Thanks a ton!
Watching all the videos I can on Mood Mk II before I spend the big bucks, I remembered watching your video on Mood Mk I. It's easily one of the most musical and convincing demos I've seen on either pedal, sounding neither like a random series of bleeps and ambient whooshes nor like a traditional rock band with a few Mood-derived sound effects over the top. As usual, you let the pedal take you places. I love your playing and I love your concise pragmatic way of explaining things. You rock, Stefan.
Great video - the Mood pedal is so cool. Your playing, as always, helps makes these pedals seem magical :)
Extremely kind of you. Happy you enjoyed the demo 🙏
I have been waiting for this day for quite some time. I always appreciate your insight on any pedals, but this one especially. You did not disappoint, and I now have some additional things to give a go. Your use of the slip mode is inspirational. Best review/demo on the MOOD yet. Thanks man!
Awwww, man! Thank you! So happy to hear it was worth the wait 😊
That was the shortest 19 minute video I’ve ever seen - didn’t want it to end! Out of all the videos on Mood, I’ve never heard doper sounds coaxed out of this magic box. I was keeping up with and understanding how MOOD works until the dip switches where my mind was 🤯 . hahaha. Cheers Stefan!
Thanks, man! That's extremely kind of you. Really happy you liked the tones and the tunes here. It was a fun demo to make. I can see that I took the understanding of DIP Switches and Bounce a bit for granted, since I've used them so much. It's not complicated at all though. 1) So bounce and ramp are two pieces of the same pie. Bounce is an action you activate via the DIP switches, which basically enables you to automate any control you want on the pedal. It "bounces" the selected control pot(s) back and forth from your selected point to either max or minium position on the pot, as if an invisible hand was turning the knob for you. So it's somewhat like automating parameters in a DAW. So what you're seeing me do in the demo in the DIP switch section is first engage the Bounce DIP switch, and then I engage the DIP switch for the specific pot I want to be controlled.
2) The Ramp control simply determines how fast the selected control(s) are being "bounced" back and forth.
Hope that helps :)
And here I thought I was over my Mood crush. What an amazing, creative device. I can see myself coming back to enjoy this video more than once :). One of my fav videos on this pedal (to echo the others). Really musical and informative at the same time. Hope you are safe and well!
Thank you so much! Pretty cool to hear that my demo reignited your love for this pedal. It's just such a feature rich device. So many creative ways to use it 😊
More than just a demo, this is a perfect how-to tutorial for using the Mood. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Ive watched so many videos on this pedal and they all sound great but for some reason the way you broke it down helped me understand it finally, thanks!
I'm honored to hear that, man. Makes all the hours that went into making the video totally worth it. It can be a slightly complex pedal to wrap your head around, so I'm happy to hear that my video helped you understand the vast sonic potential that MOOD holds.
Bravo on this demo , I knew you would knock it out of the park. You sure did
Cheers BC
Good lord!! You have taken your game up a few levels. Awesome new material!!! Love the stuff around 9 mins. So, so good.
Wow! That really means a lot to me. Thank you!
10 seconds in and this is already the best demo of this pedal on TH-cam. I ordered one a few days ago to see what the hype is about and I am even more excited to try it out now.
That's extremely kind of you to say. Thank you! You're in for a wild ride with MOOD. Be patient with it. It does a lot. But the time you invest in learning it will be more than worth it.
This is by far the most amazing sound created with Mood on youtube. Makes me consider buying this pedal. Multiple other demos of Mood made me having the ( wrong) impression, that whatever you throw at it ( Synth, bass, guitar, drum machine), eventually it will destroy the it into similar sounding slices, bells & whistles...really ;). But not this one. Thanks for the efforts! Great and inspiring like always ! Keep it coming and stay safe!!!
Exactly! I allude to that in my post above. It's a shame but most of the demo guys don't take the time to learn the pedals they review. That works fine when only Volume, Tone and Gain are involved but it does a great disservice to the pedal makers and their viewers when the pedal is more complex. Unless of course they're trying to show the pedal sounds if you put zero effort into learning it :)
Thank you! I'm really happy to hear that my demo was able to give you a new perspective on MOOD. It truly is a wonderful pedal. The reason why it sounds so different from demo to demo, is that it's really a pedal that reflects the player. It's just an endlessly deep pedal 😊
What an amazing review! Thank you for spending the time to make this great video. Love the editing and of course the playing!
Dude! Thank you so much! You just put the biggest smile on my face 😊🙏❤️
lovely stuff here. very informative. very clear. very thorough. & some fantastic guitar wizardry wedded to your masterful command of the MOOD. seriously... bravo!!
A lot of channels have made great MOOD demos. However, this is the only one I’ve sent that puts the DIP switches to good use while most others don’t even mention them.
Bravo! I love my MOOD and this has re-inspired me to explore it.
Oh man! Thank you. That means a lot to me. The DIP switches are super powerful on MOOD
This is one of the coolest pedals I've heard and honestly you're playing has really illustrated how incredible it can be in the right hands (YOURS)
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you enjoyed the demo 🙏
As usual, this is a wonderful review of an amazing pedal. I recently picked up the MOOD; and less recently had picked up the blooper. Honestly, I have not had this much fun dorking around with pedals and my guitar in such a long time, it's like a black hole of time. You sit down with these two things, and next thing you know half the day's passed. Amazing!
Cheers! Happy you liked the demo. And it's very true, both Mood and Blooper open up doorways to alternate realities where time moves twice as fast as in our humble mortal world.
This is the most musical demonstration of this pedal I've ever seen, I love it
I’m deeply honored to hear that 🧡🙏
just ordered mine last night! So hyped! Did not know you could even get a vibrato sound out of it 🔥
Unreal demo and music! As Usual
Wonderful. I was just listening, now I'll need to watch again to read how you did it all.
Haha! Cheers, man! Happy you liked the tones. Hope it all makes sense on the second time around 😊
Ugh. This is just too beautiful. I am seriously considering getting one of these. Stefan, if I can do even half of what you can with this it will be a dream!
That is very very kind of you to say. Thank you!
It its the best demo for mood in all the entire internet and youtube by far
Oh wow! I'm speechless.... Thank you SO MUCH ❤
Thank you so much for this. This is how it's supposed to be done, enjoying the music at the same time as learning the pedal in depth. Respect!
Really kind of you! Thank you 🥰
Wow, great demo!! Thank you so much!
amazing demo Stefan! such an inspiring device.
I’m deeply honored. Thank you 🙏
I scrolled through TH-cam videos as I usually do to see which pedal to get next. I wasn't quite sure... so many 'good' pedals by so many 'good' reviewers. But Stephan (hope I pronounced your name correctly) you make pedals 'exeptional' because you are 'exeptional' as well. So thank you once again, I can relax now. I know where my money goes next.
I am not as talented as you, but my best spent money is with your take on the mood. Because yeah, what potential man (which nobody else but you can show me)
Have a great summer ❤
Avalanche Run and Polymoon says 'hi'
This is honestly the best pedal review I've ever seen. Wow. Just wow . . .
Awww, man! I'm speechless... THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤
The best demo ! Such good music here !
Oh wow! Thank you so much 🧡🙏
Wow - you're the only person I've seen that's managed to get something musical out of these Chase Bliss looper pedals. Everything else I've seen is just random blippy bloopy notes that make no sense other than just sounding nice. Great vid dude.
Dude! Thank you! Means a lot to me 🙏
Literally every knobs video. Cant tell what the pedal actually does. This is by far the best
Thanks Stefan. Love how you incorporate the dip switches into the demo, as well as how you could use the band in a more traditional band format as opposed to all ambient all the time
Cheers, buddy! Really happy you liked the demo. It was a blast to make 🙏
This a a great demo. MOOD is deep and can often be confusing (and sometimes frustrating). This really breaks down in a clear way how to get certain sounds. Superb stuff, thank you!
Thanks, man! Really appreciate it!
Been saving for a few months now and keep torturing myself with these videos. Such a nice demo!!!
Awwwww! Thank you! Hope you get one soon. It's a fun one 😊
I think I'm just going to echo a lot of other people in saying I didn't really 'get' Mood, or at the very least see the full range of sonic applications of it, until this demo. Thank you for taking the time to craft this masterpiece of a demo, especially under some very not normal circumstances. I finally understand the bounce function now too! It seems like that's the key to unlock the real sonic wizardry.
Oh man! That's so awesome to hear. Really honored that my demo helped open your eyes to the massive ambient potential hidden within MOOD ❤🙏
ive owned this pedal for like 6 months now and this video just let me know how far ive been from unlocking its potential. thankyou for showing me how to use it properly, you are a freakin wizard with delays
I'm stoked to hear you found the demo inspiring and that it opened up new sonic avenues for you to explore. MOOD is just endlessly deep 😊
This happens too often!! I watch your gorgeous videos with such excellent sound and have to now figure how to get another pedal that I may never be able to get the most use. You make it look so easy to dial in magic tones!! Will add this one to my list but really focused on EQD pedals cause of you. I got 5 of them and find they build such an awesome product. Thanks for creating such compelling content!! Luv this channel
Thank you so much for the many kind words. I'm deeply humbled 🙏
Perfect! Thanks so much for the great demo. I just ordered one today to put on my smaller board.
Cheers! Mood is such a sonic adventure :)
Very nice!! Makes me want to create screen shots of your explanation and print it out for reference while playing with my Mood
Thanks! Happy you found the video helpful and inspiring 😊
Buddy well done! Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Awesome demo/playthrough! (Subscribed) I received a MOOD in the mail this afternoon. This should be fun.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you so much for subscribing!
The best Mood demo of the internet. Thank you
Oh wow! Deeply humbled. Thank you 🧡🙏
thank you, this video is better than all the others (including the videos by the company, Chase Bliss themselves) to help me understand the pedal. apart from that your music is wonderful. a real pleasure, greetings from the Vienna Woods,
One of the best videos on internet about mood (if not the best). I see it took you some time to do. But trust me, you did an amazing job.
Thank you so much! Truly means the world to me 🧡🙏
Excellent demo, Stefan!
Thank you kindly, my friend ❤
Dude that was an amazing demo
Dude! Thank you so much!
Instant like and sub! This demo is amazing! Period.
Wow! Thank you so much, man!
Great review! Great pedal!
Thanks!
This demo really helped a lot you really got to sit down and mess with this pedal to figure out how to use but its hella fun
Thank you, for a really clear, useful and inspriring demo.
My pleasure, man. Happy you found it helpful
I already loved this pedal. Still exploring it. Thanks for the ideas
Happy to hear my video gave you some new inspiration 😊
Stefan, this video is brilliant. So much info in such a short time, while also being lovely to listen to. I think you're rivalled only by Knobs in the pedal demo stakes, at least for folks with my tastes.
pretty good walkthrough, informative and fun
well done
Thank you very very much 🙏
Thanks !! Awesome demo, and awesome sounds !! 👌👽👌
Awwww, man! Thanks 🧡
Amazing and versatile. I need this ASAP
Happy you like it! It's a really fun pedal
this video is almost perfect manual where to start digging the mood! i found my practical setting from here. thank yoy!
Oh wow! Thank you so much! ❤
The way you use delays is perfection!
Awwwwww. Thank you 🥰
This demo is great! 👍
Thank you very much!
Spoilt for choice, super demo! Love the creativity, feels like I wouldn’t be able to have this on the floor however… too tempting !!! Thank you
Happy to hear you enjoyed the demo. This pedal definitely packs a creative punch. So much to explore in it. So I totally get if you want to have it on a table top, so you can quickly manipulate it on the fly with your hands. This pedal is an instrument in its own right, and really comes alive if you dare to play it as one
I think I finally understand how this amazing pedal works now. What a great demo!
Well that’s cool! 😊 Really happy you liked the demo and that it gave you an actual understanding of how MOOD works 🙌
This is the best Mood video I’ve seen !
Now I need one. Thanks 😂
I'm really honored you liked it so much. Thank you!
I was getting some This Will Destroy You vibes during that jam at the end. Good stuff.
Well that's definitely not a bad thing. I love TWDY so much!
Incredibly beautiful, such a wonderous demo. This has been the mood demo I've been wanting. Too much chitter chatter with others. Thank you for doing it justice, this by far a top level pedal that I've been recording with extensively due to its soundscape potential. Much love across the pond.
Awwww, man! Incredibly kind of you. Thank you 😊🙏
I learned more from this video then the manual! thank you!
That’s amazing, man! So happy you found the video helpful 😊🙏
Very cool demo. I've seen a lot of demos on this pedal and most are unsatisfactory. Bravo, sir!
I’m really happy you enjoyed it and found it inspiring 😊
@@thepedalzone Yeah, this is the first demo that actually made me want that pedal. I think it's because of the attention you put into the effects you paired with it. Many demos just use an uninspiring clean tone and have the pedal make daft squeaks and laser-gun sounds over the top. Conversely I found your tones highly tasteful
7:48 just sold the pedal for me, going to liquidate a few things to grab one lol. Thanks making for such a unique demo.
So much epicness in one box! 😊
100% true!
Best Mood demo out there by far.
Thank you! Really kind of you to say 🙏
this opening sequence is SO DOPE
Thank you! It was really fun to compose that opening bit 😊
Great demo, thanks.
Cheers! Happy you enjoyed it 😊🙏
This is the best video on the mood......NOW.....I want one......thanks for making the lockdown great......stay well,✌🏻
Oh wow! Thank you so incredibly much ❤️🙏
I feel like i’ve been enlightened to a whole new culture! That was AWESOME! :) ❤️
Awwww, man! Thank you!
Wow, You make music with this thing! Most stuff I heard with this thing so far is fun noise.
Cheers, buddy! Music is always the goal. That’s why we buy these things. To be inspired to create music 😊
Just wanted to say this demo made this pedal make complete sense to me as every other demo is random bleeps and bloops - your riffs are what I would probably play as well if I had the pedal. Never wanted the pedal for real until I saw this. Went to the comments - everyone said the same exact thing. Keep it up dude!!!!!
I’m really happy that my demo was able to provide a familiar and inspiring context to you. This pedal truly becomes what the player needs. It can take on so many sonic shapes and shades 🧡🙏
This is so helpful! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
god damn, this thing sounds gorgeous
Happy you dig it. Such a unique pedal
First pedal I've ever bought, amazing device
Wow, that’s quite the first pedal purchase. My first pedal ever was a Boss Metal Zone 😂
@@thepedalzone I'm so late to the game! I really love your work man, sincerely. You & Knobs & Andy re-ignited my creativity. I've always loved guitar and sounds and melody and finally developed a vision.
First 3 pedals I chose was Mood, Avalanche Run & The Visitor (due to your demo!) SY-1 to be added due to your tactful display as well. I'm 10 years behind but warming up to the passion behind it all. It's a rich, aesthetic and expensive meditation yet priceless at the same time. Hands-On tech always better than screens.
A plugin can't feel as good as a pedal.
ThePedalZone My first pedal was probably a wah 😂😂😂
Yep, Pedal zone, knobs, and pedal partners for me. Havent owned a pedal before because im very confident with my skills in Ableton and the plugins ive purchased there, but ive been finding so much more bliss and joy from just playing the guitar not worrying about making music but enjoying and healing.... and turns out the best music will come from that anyways!
This is a masterpiece, thanks!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Mate, fantastic!!!
Thank you very very much 🙏
Your playing is soooooooooo good man
Thank you for putting a smile on my face ❤
Hey, that was a fantastic demo, very useful. I wish you had the MOOD guitar for this!
Oh, man! That guitar has been haunting my dreams since NAMM 🧡 Hope you’re healthy and safe, my friend. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the demo 🙏
I love hearing pedals I will never have the intelligence to use in the hands of a master. Brilliant, sir!
Haha! Thank you!
Been considering which would be my next pedal.....MOOD is somewhere on the list now. Thanks Stefan :P
Happy you liked the demo 😊🙏
I think I'm on my eighth watch of this. So good.
Awwww! Thank you 🙏 So thrilled to hear you like the demo so much 😊
I just got this thing in the mail. Can’t wait
Awesome!! You’re in for a good time 😊
You gotta do the blooper now. Great video as always!
Blooper will happen at some point 😊 Happy you liked the demo 🙏
BUDDY! Dude! So happy to finally see MOOD in your hands. Fantastic job 🤘 I just hope people will still watch my demo now that yours is out. They probably won’t but I’ll happily concede the views to this masterpiece.
Thank you so much, my friend! MOOD is a pedal that truly takes on a different life from player to player, so your demo is as relevant as ever. Loved your MOOD demo ❤
