This is Prismatic Wall.
This pedal replicates the resonance of sympathetic strings. It’s part reverb, part synthesizer, part surrealist instrument. It’s our deepest, weirdest device yet. But it’s also intuitive and natural.
Prismatic Wall translates sounds into quasi-physical forms resembling ringing third bridge overtones, fingers raking the inside of a spectral piano, a hurdy gurdy strung with steel cables, and more.
Its sound design capabilities are supported by a robust digital control featuring MIDI input, presets, and our new Morphing function which enables dynamic, seamless transformations at the press of a footswitch.
Everyone who plays it finds something a little different. Hopefully you do too.
There’s much more to say about this so if you want to learn more, check out the blog post on our site.
QUICK HOUSEKEEPING:
Prismatic Wall is available now on our web store and through participating retailers. We sent a lot of units to dealers but some may not have arrived yet. Also, if we sell out, we will open preorder slots that are expected to ship by July 31. There might be a brief pause before preorders go live.
Thanks everyone and enjoy!

Email is nice actually. It’s universal, it’s unglamorous, and it doesn’t require a platform run by some weird annoying billionaire. It’s a lot harder to miss out on stuff. It’s nice to not worry about whether or not The Feed™ is showing you stuff you want to see. If that all sounds good, boy do I have an email list for you. We typically update 1-2 times a month with new releases, stock info, that sort of thing. I try not to be a punisher about it.
For real though… anyone else miss RSS?
Incredible 35mm shots by @goldsuit (who also designed the art on all our pedals so far!) from the recent Portland Synth and Pedal Expo. We absolutely love these events, where we get to hang with other pedal builders, meet awesome players and check out new gear. Shout out to Paolo and @stompboxexhibit for making these events happen. Can't wait for the next one!

Can wholeheartedly recommend playing a synthesizer while the sun goes down.
A simple and satisfying exploration of the sonic collision caused by Big Time smooshing and delaying all the little nooks and crannies of the Timbre and Tone sliders on Atrium’s Form synthesis mode.
Superbooth Superstars drenched in Great Plains light. I’ll be darned.
We spent some time at @superbooth_berlin 2026 talking to John Snyder - founder and chief engineer of @electronicaudioexperiments - about his work with @chasebliss and their new flagship powerhouse machine, the Big Time.
We talked about:
• the history behind the Chase Bliss collaboration
• inspirations behind the Automatone series and the newest device
• the philosophy behind Big Time
• how EAE’s own devices influenced the project
• analog vs digital interaction in modern effects design
• and what’s next for EAE
Honestly, one of the most inspiring gear conversations I had during the event.
I also had a chance to plug and play a couple of guitar passages through Big Time at the booth to showcase some of its textures in a pretty loud Superbooth environment, apologies for the audio quality 😅
Many thanks for the camerawork to @itsdemetriakv

Disintegration Loops on the @chasebliss Big Time.
A few folks have asked about letting loops disintegrate over time and take on all manners of filth and sag and beauty. So, here’s a little demonstration of that. And if you’re good at guitar, yours will be even better 😆.
Big Time is packed with stuff. But also: stripped down to fundamentals, it’s just a beautiful sounding delay.
Thanks for all the kind words so far. We really went for it.
