01—Pedal catalog
Chase Bliss Audio Habit
Turning the delay pedal into a memory device — playing back what you forgot you played.
The most conceptually adventurous delay made in the last decade. Not for everyone. Essential for the right player.
02—On the bench
An echo-collector. Habit records two minutes of your playing into a rolling buffer and then lets you reach back into that buffer to retrieve, mangle, and resample the past. Tonally it's a delay, but the interaction model is closer to a sampler — knobs control how far back to scrub, how much to mangle, what to repeat, and what to leave alone. The 'spread' knob smears time into texture; the 'modify' knob applies filtering, pitch, and reverse to the resurfaced material. Most useful for solo performers who want their delay to remember a melodic motif from earlier in the song and bring it back — accidentally or deliberately. A delay built for composition, not just decoration.

03—Power
What it takes to run the Habit.
150mA at 9V
At 150mA it needs a high-current jack, and an isolated one: big digital pedals put noise on a shared ground.
Typical published draw. Check the label on your unit for its voltage and polarity before you plug in.
