The Chase Bliss Big Time Delay Pedal Video For Normal Humans [Well, Almost Normal Humans…]

We know it does bonkers… but can it do normal delay pedal stuff too? Welcome to the show. This is NOT a comprehensive video about the Big Time. Not by a long way. Instead it’s a personal look at the basic functions and how to get it working in my own live rig. Because… Normally when an important new pedal comes out, Dan and I would look at it together in the context of the main show here at TPS. But this particular pedal was going to take much longer than our usual prep and filming schedule would allow. So instead I decided to really take my time (Big Time?!), start from the beginning and go at MickPace™ to wrap my head around this thing. And of course share the journey. To whit, after about two weeks of sporadic experimentation, here is the Chase Bliss / EAE Big Time Digital Analogue Delay for (Relatively) Normal Humans. Ahem… Enjoy the show! • Two Notable Omissions – I cover a lot of the Big Time in this video, but there are two significant omissions. The first is the Looper - I don’t go near that. The second is the Scale button which deals with pitch shifts – I don’t use that either.
