I recently acquired a Chase Bliss<\/a> ZVEX Bliss Factory Fuzz pedal from the second run of these. The version I got is the black one from the second batch.<\/p>\n

\"Chase<\/p>\n

To keep the story short, Chase Bliss and ZVEX Effects created the Bliss Factory as a collaboration for the release of The Pedal Movie by reverb.com. The initial batch, which was produced in silver, sold within hours. I was super bummed I missed it.<\/p>\n

I got lucky<\/h3>\n

A few weeks later (days maybe? I don\u2019t remember.) Joel Korte, the owner of Chase Bliss, announced on the Chase Bliss Facebook page that they may possibly be making a new batch of Bliss Factory pedals. That is, if everyone sort of agreed, since the whole point of these were that they would be a limited run for The Pedal Movie.<\/p>\n

I chimed in on that thread on Facebook and put in my 2 cents saying I wanted a black one. Fast forward a few weeks and I open Facebook and lo and behold I see a post from Joel about a second batch selling immediately. I was lucky to see that only 6 minutes after he posted it. Furthermore, batch is BLACK!<\/p>\n

I immediately went to reverb.com and bought one. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the pedal we see here. The Chase Bliss \/ ZVEX Bliss Factory is a VERY fuzzy fuzz that can do way more than just your classic fuzz sounds. Because if this, it can be hard to tame. I made this video to explain how I set mine in order to achieve somewhat traditional fuzz tones. If I stray too far and get lost, this method is a good way to come back. Basically, it\u2019s a great starting point to set yours up.<\/p>\n

Mind you, make sure you account for your own guitar\u2019s output as well as how the pedal interacts with your amp. Watch the video below:<\/p>\n
