Chase Bliss Introduces Big Time – Analog/Digital Delay


video upload by chase bliss

"Big Time revisits the mixed-up circuitry of rackmount echoes from the early 80s, where advanced analog engineering was used to prop up crude digital systems. What would happen if that hybrid circuitry were pushed to its extremes? Big Time is our answer, stuffed with misbiased modulations, saturating loops, and sequenced echoes.

Time to live large."

This appears to be the first one to be featured on the site. If you have any additional info to share, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post.

"There's no brand logo or serial number number anywhere on the machine so we can't say for sure who made this but it's a professionally, mass produced unit.

Sold as not functioning but is untested - it might work - looks complete on the inside and outside and condition is excellent.

Amazingly rare machine - most likely this was made by Bugari in Italy in the early 80s or late 70s.

It was probably made to be controlled by an external controller such as foot pedals or an electric accordion, with lots of sound presets.

It’s in excellent condition but is untested since we don’t have the compatible foot pedal or accordion.

It sports 2 hardwired cables : 1 for external controller and 1 for the power supply with long cable with regular Italian 3 prong power connector at the end.

220 volt version with EU plug."
