Chase Bliss Audio has announced the MOOD MkII, a sequel to its two-channel granular micro-looper and delay made with Drolo FX and Old Blood Noise Endeavors12. It is available to pre-order now, with the first units set to ship at the end of April12.
The original MOOD paired a granular looper that samples and layers incoming audio with a spatial effects processor offering reverb and delay12. The MkII keeps that two-channel layout and adds stereo processing, overdubbing and a freeze mode, and the overall loop length has been doubled12. Both channels now have a hold function, and the volume of the two channels can be balanced3. Chase Bliss says the sound quality has been polished, and a Classic mode restores the functions of the MkI31.
MIDI control has been expanded: all parameters can be controlled externally via MIDI, both channels can be synced to a MIDI clock, and the transposition function can be controlled with a MIDI keyboard, which the maker says lets the pedal function as a granular synthesizer12. The pedal also offers CV and expression control, presets, and internal modulation of its knobs3. Chase Bliss has published a field guide detailing its capabilities1.
The MOOD MkII is priced at $39912. MusicRadar reported that the pedal was in the late stages of beta testing at the time of the announcement1.
"On the surface it will feel instantly familiar, but you now have the ability to go so much further. Just about everything in the pedal is doubled, roughly speaking."
Chase Bliss said the goal was to include as many feature requests as possible while keeping the pedal's character, and that a Classic mode is included for players who prefer the sound of the original31. The original MOOD was unveiled in June 20193.
