reminds me of the first time i heard the Icelandic band Múm from their album Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is OK - and thats a good thing, in fact its wonderful
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👍
Again, super late to the game here, but 2 years later and your vids are still providing guidance and value! Thanks so much, going to go watch your vid on MOOD now ✌🏽
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!
I just found out about this company OMG. So far these pedals seem like the coolest pedals in existence and they seem to ooze quality, which is probably why they're so expensive. I just love that all of these pedals utilize knobs and toggle switches, there's just something so premium about those two things. However, after looking into these awesome pedals it's pretty obvious they're targeted towards electronic music producers, which I am not. I play guitar. I envy you guys. 😭
@@RavenWinterz I actually got into CB when I was just playing guitar! They’re surprisingly versatile & while surely experimental, they can do the basic stuff incredibly well too
@@SlowHaste Trust me, if money wasn't an issue I'd buy 2 or 3 pedals from CB just cuz they look so damn cool and I'd love to experiment with them. But for what I'm doing these pedals are overkill, especially with my limited budget. Maybe in the future. 🤞🏼
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!
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.
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

@@mattdylan664 thanks so much! I’ll have to check that record out

It truly is! That’s so much for watching :)

@@Synthcoma so glad to hear that! I’m actually hoping to put out a couple more before the end of the year after a long break :)
@@SlowHaste Great, can't wait!
Had a stereo pair of these for a while. Favorite delay setup I’ve had.
Ok.
Were you able to achieve ping pong?
That's gloriously obscene.

That indeed does sound like a perfect setup for your purposes!! They show up for trade occasionally on pedal subreddits, I’d keep an eye out there
how do you like the Habit? i’ve become very curious…. also, sounds like you’re making some cool music. right on

@@MrGeoffashley that sounds like it would be beautiful
so many cool sounds. currently bit gasing over that one.
Thanks! Yeah it’s a real gem IMO
It’s been my holy grail item since knobs made a video about it years ago but I just can’t justify that price T_T great video!!
I knowwww :( it was a hard trigger to pull indeed. I love Knobs’ demo as well!!

5:25 major creepy circus vibes
I will own this pedal. I will own this pedal. I will own this pedal.
That’s the spirit!!
@@SlowHaste Update.... I now own this pedal. 😃
@@namebrandbeatz hahaha patience paid off!!!
My dream is for one day Chase Bliss to move into eurorack and make modular versions of the Thermae and Spectre
That would be incredible!
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.
@@CorbCorbin They just did!
Thermae the return! Sounds amazing ngl. Also the pairing with the minilogue xd is a dream come true!!! Love this synth+pedal vids! ❤
Thank you!! It’s a really great combo. Looking forward to running the Digitone through it as well :)
@@SlowHaste so the sound source in this video is the Minilogue the whole time?
Great video ! Thanks :-)
Thanks! I think Thermae would sound fantastic paired with your motor synth 😎
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
I know that to be very true! It’s super fun to put at the start of a chain & then wash it all out. It’s certainly not for everyone though
Those were some expensive ear plugs 🤣 what a cool story! This really suits your sound so it's awesome you have it back in your collection!
Hahaha expensive indeed. & thank you!! I also feel like it really suits the vibe I have been curating 😎

You could not. You can't do pitch shifting with PT2399s.
Thermae is my main go to delay sounds amazing on literally everything
It really does! Such a unique but recognizable voice
I embarassingly just parked it as a dotted eighth delay on my guitar for a couple years. It just a sounds so freakin' good.
Great, now I think I need one.
You wont regret it bud!!!
@@SlowHaste DID IT.
I likey this vid.
thanks much
for making it.
You are very welcome 😎
It reminds me of the built in delay on the moog matriarch
Hadn't heard of the Thermae before but this is super cool. Chase Bliss make the best pedals.
IT’S SO GOOOOOOD

Started sounding fm like around 7:15
Niceeeee ….. Never heard about this pedal……an excellent explanation from your side…..
Me like…… greetings from a Rainy Germany…….
Greetings!! It’s a great one, there are a bunch of cool videos about it
The Condor is another that I really wish I’d gotten when it came out, that is now just at a collector’s price level.
I never got to try one but would have loved to use it as a studio tool for guitar
Have a Thermae. Was kinda meh... until I got the MidiBox and used its sequencer. Then... wow!
Sounds like a granular sampling effect - how does it stand up against the Hologram Microcosm..?
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!
@@SlowHaste Noice! amazed by your quick response 🙂
Love your videos - keep up the good work !
Wow this pedal sounds lush
Doesn’t it??
@@SlowHaste it really does, wish I could afford pedals like this, wish there was a vst plugin similar
@@coralismmusic496me too!! I just discovered a vst by Cymatics called Lotus that sounds very similar. I'm going to try the demo to see how It sounds
Can I ask what the reatail price is in the u.s. ???????
$499 😵💫
@@SlowHaste all righty then…. more or less the same price here in Europe , Germany….
Sorry, this video just confirms how musically unusable this pedal really is...
@@darionorwin924what do you think about the new mood mk2 ?
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.
Yup! I’ve used it in plenty of recorded music myself
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
