Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Chase Bliss Audio Tonal Recall RKM Analog Delay.

Features and functionality

  • The red knob on the RKM model indicates double the delay time compared to the blue knob model, extending to 1100ms.

    Source
  • The pedal is praised for its versatility, covering delay, chorus, and unique modulation sounds, with a distinctive "long + short" mode for reverb-like effects.

    Source
  • The modulation section is highly sensitive, with small adjustments having significant impact, requiring careful dialing to avoid over-modulation.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Toggle switch tips with red rubber/plastic are aftermarket additions, not original to Chase Bliss products.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Wooden boxes were discontinued due to cost; they were handcrafted by the founder's parents and may slightly increase resale value for collectors.

    Source
  • Some users suggest exploring alternative quirky delays like the Dwarfcraft Mini Van or the TC Electronic Flashback for a more budget-friendly option.

    Source

Comparisons

  • The Tonal Recall RKM is compared to a Deluxe Memory Man (DMM) for its sound quality, offering similar tones but with more features and a smaller footprint.

    Source
  • While some prefer the Thermae for its versatility, others appreciate the RKM's unique modulation, which some find less noisy when avoiding pitch effects.

    Source
  • The Tonal Recall is likened to a Bentley among analog delays, suggesting a premium feel but questioning its value over more affordable options like the Boss DM-2W or Carbon Copy.

    Source

User experience

  • Owners have used the Tonal Recall RKM for 4-5 years, highlighting its reliability and adaptability, especially when integrating MIDI.

    Source
  • Owners note that the pedal is not noisier than usual for analog delays, but specific settings can increase noise, which can be mitigated by adjusting the tone knob at the cost of brightness.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • It's described as having a "dark and sweet" tone, suitable for laid-back, background delay, contrasting with the more forward, tape-like ambience of the Thermae.

    Source
  • It's considered an excellent studio tool for its range of sounds, though some feel its tones might not stand out in a live mix.
