Chase Bliss Habit vs Universal Audio Uafx Del-Verb

The Chase Bliss Habit is a compositional delay pedal built around a continuously recording three minute memory buffer, described by its maker as a delay with a memory that stores everything played so it can be revisited later. A Scan knob navigates through that recorded history, a Spread control blends multiple points in time together, and two banks of modifiers reshape the echoes into tape delay emulation, dissolving repeats, and shrinking subdivisions. It offers up to sixty seconds of delay time, two preset slots, tap tempo, MIDI, CV, and expression control, plus a Feed mode that routes output back to input for layering processed sound on itself. Sonically it ranges from conventional, musical echo to never-before-heard, glitchy loops and transitions. It suits ambient, experimental, and compositional players who want to treat a delay line as raw material for building new phrases out of past playing rather than a simple slapback or repeat effect.
