Chase Bliss – maker of high-end effects pedals – has announced that CHOMPI Club, the makers of the CHOMPI sampler, are joining their team.
The CHOMPI is currently sold out, but a new version is in the plans.
Here’s what Chase has to say about it:
Nothing changes for now – All support (questions, repairs, etc.) are being handled by CHOMPI Club as usual, the Discord is still active, and CHOMPI Club are continuing to work on resources and ways to make the CHOMPI sampler even better.
This isn’t the end of the CHOMPI Club, they’re just combining resources.
There will be more CHOMPI – They’re working on another run of the CHOMPI sampler, and it will have some firmware surprises (available for free to existing CHOMPI customers). These will be sold through the Chase Bliss website. The new run is expected to be available later this year.
Chase Bliss will take over support – Once the next batch of CHOMPI goes up for sale, Chase Bliss will take over support of the device. This means CHOMPI owners will now have international support. This will apply to all existing and future CHOMPI owners.
