Big Time from Chase Bliss

US The sound of 80s rack technology in their biggest pedal      01/05/26

You think you're Big Time? THIS is the new Big Time pedal from Chase Bliss - described as a hybrid echo blending the best of analog & digital. Made with John Snyder at Electronic Audio Experiments, it revisits the mixed-up circuitry of rackmount delays from the early 80s, and as always, is packed with features - and some nice chunky motorized faders. You'll find the Big Time manual here and some more details below as well as more on the Chase Bliss Blog...

If you've ever found yourself wondering "what's the most impractical way to make a delay in 2026," I'm pretty sure we've found the answer.  It's Big Time. 

This project has been kind of an open secret for years. It's a hybrid analog/digital echo that revisits the mixed-up circuitry found in rackmount delays from the early 80s, and it was made in collaboration with our good friend John Snyder from Electronic Audio Experiments. It's by far the most ambitious and foolish thing we've ever done.
