Chase Bliss MK2 and Gravitas

Lew

So... other than the comedy in classifieds I've not seen mention of the new stuff or I've missed it? So Wombtone and Warped Vinyl have got mk2s. I'm pretty tempted now that the issues with treble loss seem fixed which made it pretty unusable for me with alot of fuzz (adored it for clean and low gain). I see the price has gone up $50 to $350 too. Anyone gonna buy a mk2?

Branshen

Old ones were better.

Lew

Why's that then Branshen?

The Warped Vinyl's not on my long (23) list . . . yet.*

















* it is now (24)

Branshen

I kid. I know nothing about them. I'll run along and leave the big toys for the big boys

The mk2 warped vinyl sounds like a better design with top mounted dipswitches.

Lew

haha no no stay and chat! 

I had the Warped mk1 and it's brilliant but I found that the loss of high end when the mix was high (over 60%) was a problem. I've been told that it's a similar deal with the Zvex lofi junky and that some people just plain like that.

@Lew everyone knows the release of the mk2 means the mk1 with all it's little quirks is now a limited edition collectors item so can demand the same price used as new


I am actually quite tempted to pick up one of Joel's new offerings when you can use a dealer's discount code to pick them up less than the used mk1s

Branshen

Honestly I like the idea of the pedal. But the price is restrictive. It costs more than my guitar and amp combined!

If only the zvex iteration wasn't horizontal, I may be tempted to try that..

Or maybe if my music develops and calls for it, then I'll be able to justify it.

woah there, come again....run me through this "dealers discount".

meltedbuzzbox

thats what I was thinking

Lew

Pretty sure Nick means the 10% off at a dealer such as guitarbox or prymaxe or whatevs. Not that he is secretly a dealer ;-)

GavRichList

Oh. I am Jacks crushing disappointment.

Haha, knew Mr Gav would be sniffing around

I was just referring to the discount codes that places like Rogue Guitar Shop will have a few months after it's released that will give between 15-20% off. So that'll put the new version at around £210-220 including shipping to the UK.

Lew

and at that price it'd be rude not to buy it

GavRichList

Ah yes. Right then, as you were.

meltedbuzzbox

prymaxe for the win

Lew

Don't think Prymaxe stock Chase or they didn't when I bought one.

GavRichList

Or Mr. Black, or OBNE. Fo' shame.

RaymondLin

I'll get the Gravitas, as for upgrading my existing Chase Bliss to mk2....Hmmmm probably ! lol but we'll see.

Teetonetal

Prymaxe are funny I priced up some things with the 20% discount code, but decided tax plus shipping made it not worthwhile. Left stuff in basket and forgot. They sent me a few reminders which I ignored. Last night I got an email offering me an extra 15% off the items ! Now it's worth it.....
