Chase Bliss Audio Origins
Founded in 2014 by Joel Korte in Minnesota, Chase Bliss Audio specializes in compact digital pedals that blend DSP with analog signal paths and extensive tweakability.
Habit Development and Release
The Habit was released in 2022 as the brand's first dedicated delay/looper, building on earlier designs like the Thermae and MOOD by adding tape-modeled delay lines and a dedicated looper that captures four seconds of audio for manipulation.
Notable Users and Evolution
Artists including Nels Cline, Tycho, and experimental players have adopted Chase Bliss pedals; the Habit quickly gained traction for its firmware-updatable features and integration with the company's broader ecosystem of MIDI-capable effects.
