“An audio-controlled sampler that tracks your playing to create immersive musical landscapes”: Chase Bliss’ Onward sampler pedal is glitching and freezing heaven for guitarists of all styles

Chase Bliss Onward.

Chase Bliss has unveiled the Onward sampler – an impressively dynamic new effects pedal that, in the firm's words, is “an audio-controlled sampler that tracks your playing and uses it to create really immersive musical landscapes that move when you do”. 

Its story traces back two years, when Tom Majeski, formerly of CooperFX, joined Chase Bliss. Together, they created the Generation Loss MKII, which makes your electric guitar sound like a VCR.
