Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl mkII Analog Chorus/Vibrato mint with factory box and manual

Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl mkII

This Pedal might just be the most ambitious analog pedal ever designed.

There is so much to this pedal i'll just copy and paste the features below, its about a book worth! Fabulous pedal

Has the coolest factory box I've ever seen, made from timber! Included of course and is pretty much mint! Has some velcro on back.

It’s a pedal that defied what guitarists thought an analog stompbox was capable of. It packed in more features and controllable parameters than had ever been seen in an analog pedal of its size, and most importantly, the Warped Vinyl sounded absolutely beautiful. Without a doubt the Warped Vinyl was an instant classic. Now the Warped Vinyl MKII is here, and as we’ve already sung the praises of the original Warped Vinyl and the genius of Chase Bliss Audio, this review of the Warped Vinyl MKII will focus primarily on the differences between the two pedals and assess any improvements and/or disadvantages between the two. You can visit our original Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl review for an in-depth analysis of the MKI as most of what we said still applies to this pedal. Here’s a quick rundown of the initial spec changes that have been made.

Warped Vinyl MKI vs Warped Vinyl MKII

Chase-Bliss-Audio-Warped-Vinyl-MKII-Best-Analog-Chorus-Vibrato-Pedal-02

The Warped Vinyl MKII has several noteworthy improvements over its predecessor. These include:

Dedicated Tone control for the wet vibrato voice

Reduced noise

Slightly wider vibrato pitch range

Greatly expanded MIDI control including CC control of all knob functions.

Users can now select MIDI Channels 1-16. (MKI was preset to MIDI Channel 5).

122 user preset slots savable/selectable via MIDI. MKI had only 2 presets.

Dip-switches now mounted on the top side.

MKII So Soon?

It wasn’t Chase Bliss Audio’s intention to render the Warped Vinyl obsolete by releasing the MKII. It’s just a matter of striving ever further towards perfection. While some companies factor in planned obsolescence in their development plan, Chase Bliss Audio just found ways that their product could be improved and brought these changes to market as soon as possible. The original Warped Vinyl was already ahead of the curve in terms of sounds and features. The Warped Vinyl MKII may just put other chorus/vibrato pedals further behind in the dust. Here’s a list of the Warped Vinyl MKII’s other features before we dive into our Chase Bliss Audio Warped Vinyl MKII review.

Features:

All-analog signal path.
Ramp control knob can be set to control any of the 5 parameters (Volume, Mix, RPM, Depth, Warp) individually or simultaneously via dip switches on the back of the pedal. Controls the ramp time in which this takes place.
Tone (Ramp) control knob dials in the tone of the wet vibrato voice when no Ramp dip-switches are in use. All the way clockwise is transparent and shimmery, and all the way counter-clockwise is dark and murky.
Volume control knob sets the level of the effect.
Mix control knob can be set from 100% wet, to 100% dry, or anything in-between.
RPM control knob sets the rate of the vibrato. Can be overridden by the tap tempo switch.
1 – 2 – 3 (3 – 6 – 8) toggle switch sets the tap division for tap tempo. A dip switch on the back accesses the “3 – 6 – 8” divisions.
Chase-Bliss-Audio-Warped-Vinyl-MKII-Best-Analog-Chorus-Vibrato-Pedal-03ModuShape:

Depth control knob sets how wide the vibrato goes. Crank it clockwise for insane, pitch-bending modulation.
Warp control knob sets the center point of the modulation. Set it counterclockwise to make the wave ramp up quickly and down gradually. Set it clockwise to make the wave ramp up gradually and down quickly. Set it at noon for a perfectly symmetrical wave.
Left Wave Shape toggle switch sets the first half of the wave modulation. Left for sine, middle for triangle, right for square.
Right Wave Shape toggle switch sets the second half of the wave modulation. Left for square, middle for triangle, right for sine.
Bypass footswitch activates or bypasses the effect via true relay bypass. Can by changed to a momentary bypass via a dip switch in the back of the pedal.
Tap Tempo footswitch sets the tap tempo and always honors the last two stomps.
Preset toggle switch recalls presets. Middle position reflects current knob positions, right position recalls right preset, and left position recalls left preset.
Exp input jack allows expression pedal control of parameters selected via dip switches on back of pedal.
Tap input jack can be used for tap input or output with a regular ¼” instrument cable.
Powered by 9-volt battery or 9VDC power adapter (consumes ~25mA).
Dip Switches:

Volume, Mix, RPM, Depth, and Warp dip switches on the left side simply turn that parameter on or off for ramping or expression pedal capability.
Volume, Mix, RPM, Depth, and Warp dip switches on the right side control whether the parameters rise or fall in ramp mode. This also affects the direction of movement with an expression pedal.
Bounce dip switch makes parameters go back and forth (i.e. modulate) or ramp and hold.
Lo-Fi dip switch makes signal noisier with some fidelity loss for authentic warped vinyl record sound effects.
MoByp dip switch activates momentary bypass, activating pedal only when Bypass footswitch is pressed in.
Tap Control dip switch allows tap tempo to modulate RPM rate (v) or Ramp speed (r). Bounce needs to be on to modulate Ramp speed.
Tap Division dip switch selects from “1, 2, 4” tap divisions (1) to “3, 6, 8” tap divisions (3).
Sweep dip switch selects where Ramp sweeps. In “t” (top) the ramping (or expression control) will occur between the current Ramp knob position and the max position (fully clockwise). In “b” (bottom) the range is set between the current knob position and the minimum position (fully counterclockwise).
