The first Automatone.


What happens when you combine the DNA of Benson Amps’ Chimera in a box Preamp with a little fuzz, some of Condor’s resonant parametric mids, and full blown preset control from your friends at Chase Bliss Audio? The Preamp MKII. Built in collaboration with Chris Benson from Benson Amps, and known around here as the first Automatone.

This baby has variable diode clipping control (transistor only, silicon, and asymmetrical germanium), fuzz you can swap from open to gated, three mids resonance settings with variable routing you can place before or after the preamp, and three banks of ten presets each that give you thirty presets to set at your leisure.

But what’s an Automatone, you ask? It’s a pedal built with motorized knobs that adjust automatically – and a little magically – as you cycle through presets. Check out the video below to learn more and see it in action.

Pedal Empire is proud to be the Australian/New Zealand Supplier of all things Chase Bliss! If you want to buy Chase Bliss pedals online then please go to Chasebliss.au as we do not sell them online through the Pedal Empire online store. You can however come into our Brisbane store and try Chase Bliss pedals out and buy in store as we are the Australian Bliss+Mortar store! 

** The "SOLD OUT" banner does not mean we are sold out - We will fix that in the coming weeks to say "In Store Only".
