Chase Bliss Preamp MKII Automatone Model Preamp Effect (2020s), made in Oklahoma City, serial # 01509, Black Tolex finish.

Chase Bliss is known for cramming unbelievable amount of function into pedalboard-sized packages. Their Automatone series bears a slightly larger footprint than many of their offerings but for good reason; this highly customizable, programmable, automated analog preamp is built to house just about every flavor of dirt and drive one could desire with a Benson amplifier at its core. It contains multiple fuzzes, various options for diode clipping between silicone or germanium transistors, and a highly tweakable EQ interface. And of course, there is the ever satisfying recalling of past presets and watching the faders snap into place. It has a single in and output, space for an expression pedal, and even MIDI in and out (they describe the pedal as all analog with a digital brain for storage and recording).

Height is 7 in. (17.8 cm.), 15 3/4 in. (40 cm.) width, and 11 1/8 in. (28.3 cm.) deep.

This Automatone is all original and in complete working order; all functions work as intended and of course any existing presets can be modified or written over. There are a few cosmetic dings and scratches; the serial number sticker on the back is slightly worn but not entirely illegible. It does come with an original Chase Bliss box for safe travel, though it is somehow the wrong box; we think it may have been a mistake from whatever store this was once purchased. It runs off a 9V power supply. Excellent Condition.
