Chase Bliss Mystery Box (Black Friday Sale)

RaymondLin

Anyone saw this?



Spent $299 and you can get anything...(except a couple of the new pedals), including out of print, hand painted, limited editions they have found in the back of the office, large pedals like the CMX and 5 lucky person get to win CBA pedals for life.

And free shipping and tax free.....

I am tempted if not because I have most of them! Chances of getting a 5th Warpled Vinyl is very real lol 

RaymondLin

Actually, this one is for us, international customers.

Yeah shipping is free anyway because chasebliss.eu serves us in the UK again, and we are still VAT liable unfortunately. The free shipping and tax paid is for all the countries that have to buy from chasebliss.com but aren't the USA.

It's an interesting gamble - I already have a LOT of chase bliss pedals so odds are I'd get a double, and would have to sell it, but unless it's a dark world or gravitas I'd probably be able to get what I paid for it, with the chance that it might be something I don't already have.... hmmmm. and no condor for us! edIt: just saw the video you posted, I guess the chances just improved that it isn't a "cheapie"

or I could just buy an onward at 15% off which is kinda what I was gonna do anyway this year.

Since the Dirty Bird (basically the original Condor...that I already have) is excluded for us I think, the only pedals I want is the large slider ones and the 5 pins....

If they sell 10,000 of these..I have a 0.01% of getting something I want?

haha yeah without knowing how many exactly it's harder. the large slider drive pedal is not for export anymore so the only one that could possibly be in there is the reverb. 

I would like that, I would like Clean, I would like Onward, that's all I need as far as CB pedals go. I suppose there may be older discontinued ones that could turn up, they are implying? But there's nothing that I really need/want from the old stuff. 

An OBNE pedal would be cool too though, would not be unhappy with that.

RaymondLin

There is a real chance of getting a 5th Warple Vinyl for me.....there are people on TGP complaining about the possibility of getting a duplicate and resale value....I have 4 WV!!!! lol

I mean one of the new releases would be okay, even though they don't interest me.  I would be essentially spending £300 trying to get a Reverb (How many of these will be in the mystery boxes?  2? 10?....can't be like 100), and then 5 pins.

In the EU/UK you're only going to get the latest or higher value pedals I think, due to some being discontinued. Anyway I've ordered a mystery box!

Wait, no chance of getting a WV or Dark World?

HA, then I might dabble....

Alun

I've ordered a mystery box too, cool idea! Then if it's something I don't want to keep I'll just sell/swap for an Onward and still be happy enough.

I just noticed this line.

https://www.chasebliss.eu/shop/p/mystery-box-2024

"Mystery Box sales have a 14 day return window."

There is nothing to lose, besides return shipping.

well they have to by law

but either way, wouldn't be surprised if some idiots order 10 or 20 of them and send back the dupes...

steve0ak

Thanks for this, I've gone for a box as I've never owned a Chase Bliss pedal but always intrigued by them. Looking forward to see what arrives.

Lucky for us, that Term is for EU only.

The return period makes this a total no brainer for me. An opportunity to grab one of their pedals on the cheap, any of which I'd be keen to mess around with, without the danger of getting stuck with one of the two pedals I already own (Gen Loss 2/Mood 2). Of course then there's the added prospect of landing something really cool.

Whitecat

alright, what the heck, bet placed. if it ends up being a dupe might just offer it here for what I paid rather than send it back though. everything's crossed!

DoctorX

It’s tempting, the only thing putting me off is the thought that I’ll probably end up with a Generation Loss.

See, if I do, it'll be the slightly revised version I think where they changed the circuit somewhat... so may not be the worst ending.

RaymondLin

Fook it, I'm in.

My 1 and only gear purchase this past 2 years besides strings. 

(I can't believe I am glad we can't get the WV or Dark World lol)

spev11

I’ve ordered one, I have no chase bliss pedals but have always fancied trying one out. Seems like a reasonable deal , might get super lucky who knows

So with VAT, that would work out at roughly £300 at current exchange rates, is that right?
