Chase Bliss Audio MOOD MkII

Granular micro-looping and stereo time effects in one texture machine for ambient and post-rock boards.

The Suede verdict

If you make ambient music, this is the pedal. If you don't, it'll change what you make. One of Chase Bliss's most important boxes.

02On the bench

What it does

Two independent channels: a granular micro-looper and a stereo time-effect engine (delay, reverb, modulation). Designed in collaboration with Drolo and Old Blood Noise Endeavors, MOOD MkII is less a delay than an evolving texture machine — you feed it a phrase, it crumbles, stretches, smears, and replays it as a granular ghost while you keep playing on top. The MkII upgrade brought stereo I/O, two voices instead of one, expanded loop modes, and Chase Bliss's bent-volt-style preset system. It's not a delay you reach for to subtly thicken a clean chord — it's a sound-design pedal that rewards players who let it disagree with them. Lives on ambient, post-rock, and modular-curious boards.

03Power

What it takes to run the MOOD MkII.

Typical draw

270mA at 9V

At 270mA 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.
