Chase Bliss Audio Announces Dark World Reverb
Dual-channel pedal is a collaboration with Keeley Electronics and Cooper FX.
Chase Bliss Audio has announced the new Dark World, a fully-digital collaboration with Keeley Electronics and Cooper FX that offers both classic and ultramodern reverb engines.
The dual-channel format features a “Dark” channel and a “World” channel. Cooper FX is responsible for the “Dark” channel, a collaborative effort influenced partly by their Generation Loss and Outward designs. Keeley Electronics crafted the “World” channel, which houses Hall, Plate and Spring algorithms.
In all, the channels can be routed in 33 distinct ways, with Chase Bliss touting a range of verb sounds from “subtle, tasteful, and lush all the way to broken video cassette, glitch-shimmer and infinite-freeze.”
Features of the Dark World include:
- 6 independent algorithms over 2 channels (Spring, Plate, Hall, Mod, Shim, Black)
- Dual channel operation (standalone, series, or parallel)
- 100% analog dry signal path
