TL;DR: The legendary Chase Bliss Thermae analogue delay and harmonizer pedal - now discontinued and increasingly rare. New in box condition. The ultimate pitch-shifting delay for ambient guitarists, producers, and sound designers seeking otherworldly textures.

Why This Matters: Discontinued Chase Bliss Rarity

Chase Bliss Audio has discontinued the Thermae, making this one of the last opportunities to own this groundbreaking analogue delay and harmonizer pedal new in box.
