Chase Bliss Onward Dynamic Sampler, Excellent ConditionOne of the most unique and inspiring pedals Chase Bliss has ever released, and one of their most approachable too.The Onward is a dynamic sampler developed in collaboration with Tom Majeski, formerly of Cooper FX and now part of the Chase Bliss team. The concept is simple and brilliant: it listens to your playing and samples what you're doing in real time, then surrounds you with it. Play harder and it responds in kind. Pull back and it settles with you. No tap dancing required, no looping workflow to manage. Just play.At its core are two parallel channels that can be used independently or together:Freeze: captures your signal and sustains it as a smooth, synth-pad-like layer beneath your playing, great for lush ambient washes and soft, evolving texturesGlitch: takes that same captured sample and mangles it, rearranging pieces in angular, randomized, and unpredictable ways for everything from subtle rhythmic stutters to full-on sonic chaosControls and shaping:Size: sets the sample length and sensitivity to your playing dynamicsMix: blends the effect with your dry signalSustain and Fade: shape how long samples play and how quickly they fade in and outOctave: blends in a sample played at double or half speed for synth-like high or low notesTexture: adds subtle bit-crushing or lo-fi character to the effect signalAnimate: applies vibrato or chorus to the sampled signalError: controls how fast and dramatically the glitch side falls apart, with three error types (Timing, Condition, Playback) selectable via toggleUnder the hood:16 DIP switches for deep customization of modulation, routing, and behaviorAnalog dry-thru signal pathStereo in and out2 internal presets, 122 via MIDIMIDI (PC, CC, Clock Sync), CV, and Expression controlInternal modulation (ramping) for any or all knobsTap tempo via dual footswitch pressTrue bypass or buffered bypassDucking, Spread, Sidechain, MISO (mono in/stereo out) and more via DIP switches and hidden optionsRequires minimum 200mA, no battery operationThis is not a pedal for everyone, but for ambient players, soundscape builders, experimental guitarists, and anyone who wants their board to feel alive and reactive, it's genuinely hard to put down. Reviewers consistently call it one of the most musically inspiring Chase Bliss releases yet, and one of the easier ones to actually learn.Pedal is in excellent condition with only minor cosmetic marks from normal use, functions perfectly.
