Chaos Custom Shop Blender

Chaos Custom Shop · pedal

The Chaos Custom Shop Blender is a parallel signal blending pedal for bass, letting players mix a dry, unprocessed signal with an effected signal to retain low-end clarity and punch when running gain-heavy or frequency-altering effects. Built by Chaos Custom Shop, a boutique maker specializing in bass utility pedals, it offers a more streamlined blending solution than the brand's Big Blender variant.
