Please resume Count to Five discussions at your leisure.

i dont think anyone is saying they are not helpful. just maybe not absolutely necessary.

Anyone seen the new Chase Bliss mood pedal? Think it sounds a lot like the Count to Five pedal! Think they have 'borrowed' some things or where 'inspired' by it or something. What do you think?

I own both and they are incredibly different beasts. I guess slip mode could be 'inspired' by the CT5, as it's somewhat similar to mode 1, but that's about it. I see CT5 as much more of a looper, where Mood is much more of a granular effect.

I'd have to agree - the CT5 is able to inspire me to create from nothing, i.e. just a single note could turn into a song idea.

I still find the CT5 vitally important for discovering "happy accidents" while improvising.
This is all one take... with two Drolo Stamme[n] feeding the CT5.

here is some work a client sent me a link to, thought ilf would dig the vibe.

Loved that, thanks

I don't find them too similar at all. I have the Mood feeding the Ct5 and I think it works rather nicely. I find the Ct5 easier to get repeatable results with. The Mood is more of a happenstance machine. (This could be to me only having it since the summer whereas I have had the Ct5 for a couple years now and am a lot more familiar with it.)

I just recently got my head around mode 3 of the count to 5. SO killer when you use it in a tabletop setup where you can access knobs...particularly the hidden functions from the Q switch allowing you to fade in the different play heads and even control the sequencing a little.

What an amazing little box.

Yaz - love the Ct5 on a pedalboard; luhuuuurve it on the tabletop

Oooh so tasty...

Just tried this, nice!
I use almost the same setting but with lenb and feedback turned almost to zero to get a tremolous pitch shifter!

it is just "alternate" implementations of similar patches. ie mode 1: a different take on pitch shifting delay, mode 2: a different take on random chopping, mode 3: a different take on layering.

I'm still excited by this idea FWIW
