The Chase Bliss Lost + Found Collection of Curiosities is a stereo multi-effect pedal and the first true multi-effect from Chase Bliss. The maker describes it as "a little museum of the rare and strange for you to wander around"1. Instead of one effect type, it gathers 12 modes inspired by vintage oddities and rare effect types, with a few familiar favorites mixed in, and lets you blend them2. Blending two modes at a time yields 144 possible effect combinations3.
12 blendable modes, 144 combinations
The core idea of the Lost + Found is that its effects are not picked one at a time. Pedal of the Day describes it as a tour "through 12 modes that can be blended in countless ways, a full spectrum of textures inspired by the effects that have captivated and perplexed us over the years"3. Gearnews reports the pedal features twelve effects in six categories4.
The maker lays out what the blending means in practice:
"There are 144 possible combinations: You can blend two different synths together, or make a ratcheting reverb, or run"2
So a patch can pair two synth voices, stack a reverb that ratchets, or run two pitch swells at once2. Delicious Audio notes that users blend effects across stereo channels using dual three-way switches, which is how the two sides of a combination are chosen and balanced7.
Presets, MIDI, expression and stereo
The Lost + Found carries the control and connectivity layer players expect from Chase Bliss. Pedal of the Day lists "advanced connectivity and customization options including MIDI, CV and Expression control, presets, and internal modulation of any or all its knobs"3. Delicious Audio confirms MIDI, CV and expression control, stereo I/O, internal modulation and preset management7.
The control surface includes:
| Control or connection | What it does |
|---|---|
| Blend | Balances the blended modes |
| Mix | Sets the effect level against dry signal |
| Reverb, Pitch, Warp, Spread | Mode parameter knobs |
| Secondary modifiers | Dipswitch-accessed extra functions |
| Tap tempo | Sets timing in real time |
| 2 on-board presets | Saves and recalls patches |
| EXP/CV, MIDI/AUX, TRS | External control and connection points |
Controls and connections as listed by Guitar Pedal X and Pedal of the Day83
The stereo side is a headline feature. Pedal of the Day writes that "with gorgeous Stereo connectivity on tap, the sounds you create are broadcast in a wide spectrum"3. Delicious Audio describes it as a dual stereo design in which effects can be blended across stereo channels7. For players building a MIDI pedal rig or using an expression pedal, the pedal's EXP/CV and MIDI/AUX connections give it a place on a larger board8.
Second pedal in the Small Batch Bliss collection
The Lost + Found is the second release in the Small Batch Bliss series, a made-to-order program7. The small batch limited release it appeared in consisted of a second edition of the Reverse Mode C and the brand new Lost + Found9.
The Lost + Found returned in 2026 as part of a small batch limited release5. That release consisted of a second edition of the Reverse Mode C alongside the Lost + Found, which is a stereo multi-modulator pedal9.
What reviewers said
Early coverage was positive. Gearnews's writer saw broad appeal within the Chase Bliss audience4:
"I can see this one being a must-have for many Chase Bliss fans."4
Jef, Gearnews, 20254
Pedal of the Day called it "another gem from the innovative crew at Chase Bliss" and highlighted its "refreshing set of modes inspired by vintage oddities, rare effect types, and a few familiar favorites to tie it all together"3. MusicRadar covered it as Chase Bliss's first multi-effects pedal, noting the 12 mixable modes and the built-to-order Small Batch release10.
