It’s about time we gave you a proper introduction to Doug Tolley.

Doug is our ambassador in the UK, and he’s about the warmest soul walking this earth. He also throws a damn fine event.

Doug is in the middle of a Big Time Tour right now, journeying around the UK with a prototype of our new Big Time pedal. He will be:

In Hanwell this Saturday at from 12pm - 5pm

In Bristol on Saturday, June 13th .beer from 12pm - 5pm, including a live aftershow at 7:30pm

If you’re around and curious, you won’t regret it. Doug is the best of us.

We’ve been starting to get some questions about Big Time’s power requirements… which are pretty whopping. It needs 1A, which is about double our next-most hungry pedal and more than a lot of power supplies can provide. For this reason we’re including two different power solutions in the box with Big Time:

-A standalone power supply

-A current doubling adapter cable (for use with your existing pedalboard power supply)

However you prefer to power your pedal, it’s covered.
Both ship free with Big Time.

Sneak peek at ’s Big Time workshop. Of course my guy is pulling fuzz tones out of our “delay” 🔥🔥🔥 DAVID M TORN IS MY EXACT STYLE.

I got to hang out with my friend David Torn today on his birthday. He’s doing a video for our workshop series tomorrow for Big Time. I can’t wait.

David is also playing on Friday @ 730pm at The Pattern Room w/ JT Bates. Address below:

The Pattern Room
2714 E 27th Street
Minneapolis, MN 55406

One of my fav memories with David’s music was this song “Spoke With Folks.” It was one of a handful of songs I had on my phone when I was camping in the Boundary Waters with some of my best friends. We just stared at the stars and kept listening to it over and over again. Anytime I listen to it, it just brings me right back.

I also remember (long before I met David) I watched "Lars and the Real Girl" I think maybe 8 or so months after my brother died. Sometimes Ryan Gosling’s mannerisms would remind me a little of Chase. I remember thinking the music for that film was so special. Something like a dozen
years later I was hanging out with David in his studio and saw the movie poster and was like “Wait you did the music for that movie?!?!”

David’s musical contributions are immense. He is one of one. So lucky to be his friend.

Our buddy Paul made this custom pedalboard out of his mom’s vintage silverware case and it’s pretty darn cool.

What’s your favorite board you’ve ever built?

Doug’s Big Time Tour continues!!

Tomorrow (May 23rd) our UK event coordinator travels to the West Pier at Brighton Beach to share some sweet sounds. 12pm - 5pm.

You’ll know you’re in the right spot when you see a picnic blanket, a guitar, a Big Time, and Doug.

Big Time ships with 10 big presets, and each one is a unique starting point for exploring a different side of the pedal. We asked John Snyder – the analog engineer for Big Time – to tour through each of them and show us what’s possible.

This is how to find a playful, warbly, vibrato using Preset 5 as a jumping off point.

Just a little PSA. I was told on The Gear Page that there seems to be a general non awareness (I’m sure this is our fault fwiw) that we still have some *brand new* Preamp MKII for sale at www.chaseblisslegacy.com. It appears used prices for this pedal on Reverb are going for higher than our retail price when there’s still 64 units available. So if you are in the USA and you want this pedal: we still have 64 left (as of this post) you can get it for $749, ships within 1 business day. When they are gone they are gone. This pedal is slated to be discontinued because it uses opto technology (same situation as Thermae, Condor, Warped Vinyl HiFi, etc) which is outlined at www.chaseblisslegacy.com/legacy-blog

It’s almost lunch time. What’s on your plate?

Strangely enough, I think this video we just published is the best way to learn BIG TIME and what its capable of. This is our collaborator John Snyder from Electronic Audio Experiments walking through the 10 factory presets and how those can be used as "jumping off points" for different BIG TIME sonic exploration. If pre-ordered a BIG TIME or are considering one, I really think it's required viewing:
