Give any effect the Chase Bliss treatment

It's been well established that for low-gain and transparent overdrives this pedal competes at the top, but I think the real value here is how it interacts with other pedals seamlessly; that is, you can use it to give any of your favorite pedals all Chase Bliss features. I rarely us it by itself and almost always in conjunction with another effect. It is real bread and butter is at taming digital octave pedals. When paired with a Meris Heidra set only to pitch shift, or a GFI Synesthesia set as an octaver, you can really dial in tone-wheel-like organ sounds. Beyond smoothing and analogizing digital effects, it can get wild and take an old-standard to new places and beyond - it really wants to be played with and you have to be mindful as you will totally loose track of time.
