Chase Bliss announces BAD MOOD as third Small Batch Bliss pedal

October 21, 2026 · 2 sources

The Chase Bliss BAD MOOD is the third pedal in the company's Small Batch Bliss collection, Delicious Audio reported on October 21, 2026. It is described as a limited-run, made-to-order special edition that takes the same two-channel "instant bliss" workflow and points it somewhere darker¹.

The left side is still the effect suite of reverb, delay and pitch shifting, and the right side is still a micro looper that grabs brief moments and stretches them into something else. BAD MOOD leans into the noisy, improper, trouble-making side of the design, per the report, with the two stereo channels able to interact and interfere with each other¹.

Specifications as listed:

The price is $399, the same as the standard MOOD MKII¹. Under the Small Batch Bliss model there is a month-long preorder period, everyone who wants one gets one, no limited quantities, no selling out, and the company makes a pedal for each order and ships it¹. The report says BAD MOOD is the third release in the line, after the first two special editions¹.

The MOOD MKII was announced in March 2023 at $399, with stereo processing, overdubbing, freeze mode and doubled loop length, according to Guitar.com². Delicious Audio describes the MKII as a pedal people either bonded with immediately or spent months trying to figure out¹.
