Warped Vinyl HiFi
Analog Chorus / Vibrato
Ooey, gooey analog goodness.
Originally conceived to simulate the effect of a warped vinyl record, this only scratches the surface of what Warped Vinyl HiFi can do. This “true pitch” modulation features an all-analog signal path that can be dialed-in to create a limitless palette of timeless movement.
HiFi has several improvements over previous versions of Warped Vinyl, including a lag knob for lush chorus tones, reduced noise, and opportunities for more transparent and brighter sounds.
Push through cozy vibrato into expansive chorus with the Lag control.
Use the Modushape section to craft all-new kinds of motion.
Kick on bursts of secondary modulation using the Hold mode.
All-analog “true pitch” design based on bucket-brigade chips.

Waveform splitting.
At the root of any modulation pedal is the waveform, the feeling and flow of the movement. Warped Vinyl splits apart that waveform, letting you mix, match, and bend your way to motion that’s all yours. Asymmetrical pulsing, sloping ripples and more, at your fingertips.
Lag
Push apart the wet and dry signals manually with the Lag knob. Increasing the delay between the signals will create more interference across the frequency spectrum, exaggerating the chorus effect.
Hold mode
Give your performances a lift with Warped Vinyl’s flexible Hold mode. Interrupt the motion for pauses or flurries of warping, or engage a spell of Chase Bliss’ signature Ramping effect to momentarily modulate any or all of Warped Vinyl’s knobs at once.
True Pitch modulation
Warped Vinyl creates its hypnotic vibrato by replicating your dry signal on a 1024 stage bucket-brigade chip and modulating its delay time. This analog “true pitch” modulation means your wet signal takes on all that BBD warmth and grit along the way, as well as a slice of touch-responsive noise to complete the vinyl effect.
Expand and integrate
Warped Vinyl HiFi features advanced connectivity and customization options like MIDI, CV and Expression control, presets, and internal modulation of any or all its knobs.

Why isn't my pedal passing audio when I engage it?
You fried it, probably got the wrong kind of power. We’ll need to fix it here at the shop unless you like your new CBA paperweight.
Why is my pedal distorting?
Warped Vinyl uses a BBD chip to create its vibrato effect, which can overload when hit with louder signals. If you’re experiencing some unwanted clipping, simply turn down the signal feeding the pedal or set up a send/return so the signal is attenuated going into the pedal, then boosted again on the way out.
My pedal has a lot of hiss, is that normal?
There is always going to be some amount of background hiss in Warped Vinyl. You can mitigate it by setting the Lag and Tone knobs to noon or below. You can also try adjusting the internal compression trimmer.
