Deli Clerk’s Life Transformed After Returning to School to Master Chase Bliss Pedal

PORTLAND, OR – In an inspiring tale of personal growth and perseverance, local deli clerk and guitarist Jamie Miller has turned his life around by returning to school to earn a degree in electrical engineering—all thanks to the complex features of his Chase Bliss pedal.

Miller, who initially purchased the Chase Bliss pedal to “expand his sonic horizons,” quickly found himself overwhelmed by its myriad of dip switches, MIDI controls, and advanced features. “I just wanted to add a little delay,” he confessed. “But this pedal was like trying to pilot a spaceship.”

Determined to unlock the pedal’s full potential, Miller enrolled in a local university’s engineering program, where he quickly became the top student in his class. “I figured if I could master this pedal, I could master anything,” he explained.

Friends and fellow musicians have been amazed by Miller’s transformation. “Jamie used to struggle with a basic 3-knob pedal,” said bandmate Mike Thompson. “Now he’s designing circuits and talking about signal paths like a pro.”

The Chase Bliss Thermae, renowned for its ability to create a vast array of sounds, has been praised by gear enthusiasts for its versatility. However, critics argue that its complexity might be better suited for a NASA engineer than a bedroom guitarist.

Despite the challenges, Miller remains undeterred. “It’s not just a pedal; it’s a lifestyle,” he insisted. “And now I can finally say I understand it—mostly.”

As Miller continues to excel in his studies, he remains optimistic about the future. “One day, I might even get a job at PwC or the local Intel branch,” he mused. “But for now, I’m just happy to finally understand what all those switches do.”

For now, Miller is content to bask in the glow of his newfound knowledge, confident that his Chase Bliss pedal will continue to inspire both his music and his academic pursuits.
