BRAND NEW!!!

pedal only, no box, no candies.

The Chase Bliss Audio / Cooper FX Generation Loss V1 (released as a highly coveted, limited-edition blue pedal in 2019) is an effects pedal designed to emulate the sound of nostalgia and analog tape degradation. [1, 2, 3]Rather than a clean effect, it purposefully degrades your instrument's signal to mimic the worn-out, warped audio artifacts found on old VHS tapes, cassettes, and damaged magnetic media. [1]Core Functions & Sound Characteristics

• Random Pitch Fluctuations ("Wow and Flutter"): It introduces unpredictable, woozy pitch modulation to simulate a unevenly spinning tape reel. [1]
• Frequency Bandwidth Restricting: Equipped with dedicated High-Pass (HP) and Low-Pass (LP) filters to choke the frequency range, instantly giving audio a thin, vintage "radio" or "lo-fi TV" quality. [1, 2]
• Sample Rate Reduction ("Gen" Control): Features a bitcrush/sample-rate reducer knob that introduces digital grit, aliasing, and lo-fi textures. [1, 2, 3]
• Gated White Noise: It blends an underlying hiss and crackle into the signal to simulate tape noise, heavily reacting and opening up specifically when you play an instrument note. [1]

The "Chase Bliss" Core CustomizationWhat made the V1 variant distinct from the standard standalone Cooper FX designs was the integration of the iconic Chase Bliss analog brain: [1, 2]

• Dip Switches: A bank of small toggle switches on the back of the pedal allowing you to customize expression pedal routing, bounce parameters, and internal behaviors.
• Presets & MIDI: The ability to save presets natively or control every single knob setting remotely using full MIDI integration. [1]

It is essentially a boutique "lo-fi machine" meant for ambient guitarists, synth players, and lo-fi hip-hop producers looking for unique textures.
