Chase Bliss Audio Gravitas Analog Tremolo Guitar Effect Pedal

Chase Bliss is not making more of these, so get 'em while you can. One of the best sounding, most flexible trems out there, with all the extra modulation, presets, and control options that CB is famous for. The combination standard/harmonic option is very cool. And dedicated knobs for volume, drive, and tone make this an all-purpose tool for your dry chain - truly great for stacking with gain pedals.

Chase Bliss has created an amazing pedal - top notch! This review is for the listing as this does not come with a wooden box or velvet case. Seriously cool pedal but I bought this from Amazon since it said it came with its deluxe packaging. I'll keep it but want to warn anyone thinking they are getting the packaging with this. Another product being stripped of its lovely packaging so it sits on a shelf a little better? sigh...

I had more or less dismissed tremolo pedals. Don't get me wrong, guitar pedals are as important to me as oxygen, but I never really got into the trem sound. However, I'm a big Smiths fan, and I knew eventually I would break down and get a tremolo pedal, because Marr was able to get some great tremolo sounds. I almost got EHX's Pulsar, and then I found this...Let me tell you, Chase Bliss Audio may be the best/most creative pedal company out there at the moment (Earthquacker is right up there, too). This pedal is a must own. It would take YEARS before anyone who owned this would even feel slightly comfortable saying, "I think I've found all the sounds this pedal can make." It's ridiculous! And it's not one of those fancy pedals where you can never get just a simple sound out of. If you want your standard, glowing trem effect, that's not a problem for this. If you want dizzying, backwards trem effects, you've found the right pedal. It's hard to even talk about this pedal without getting goose bumps thinking about everything that I can do. I mean, the harmonic tremolo effect is a really cool addition, but then to allow both standard and harmonic trem at the same time PLUS letting you mix and match wave shapes PLUS the ability to ramp the trem whenever you want to get the amazing trem patterns... It's like a dozen pedals in one for $300.Also, if you're someone who can be a little overwhelmed by pedals with endless possibilities, Chase Bliss Audio's owner has his own YouTube channel and makes great videos for all of his pedals, not to mention he's super fun to watch and a pretty funny guy. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and it quickly became one of my most prized pedals.

This pedal is amazing sounding! I use it on Bass and it brings out really nice harmonic tones and endless options of tremolo. A little intimidating at first but it's really easy to get basic tremolos out of it. It gets somewhat complicated when using the dip switches but that allows you to get all of the crazy cool tremolo sounds. There's plenty of tutorials on using the dip switches so all and all it's pretty simple after you get used to it. Two stored presets available and over 120+ presets possible using a midi controller. Definitely recommended.

Harmonic and standard trem in the same magic box with an insane number of control over parameters. If you set it right, it can sound like a glitch box or a chorus or phaser, too.

God, I love this tremolo pedal. Absolutely the most versatile trem I've ever played with. It can do so much more than just basic tremolo. The pedal can take a long time to master because it has SO MANY OPTIONS, but it's also just a great trem out of the box if that's what you're looking for (though there are other much cheaper options for that).If you're not looking to tinker and make the craziest tremolo sounds you can imagine, then this is not your pedal. However, if you're down to sink a couple hours just finding that one insane sounding sweeping high attack low decay double tremolo, then this pedal is worth the high price tag.

This pedal can do it all and more when it comes to tremolo. I've had other pedals that crush under high gain applications, and Gravitas does not. If you go full boar into what Chase Bliss can offer, their products have some amazing capabilities. I'm very happy with this purchase and look forward to doing business with Chase Bliss again.

I bought this to "fill out my pedalboard" and found it to be my most ubiquitous sound using my Taylor T5z. A beautiful tone enhancer! Worth every penny...And I've barely scratched the surface of what this pedal can do.
