Ambient music is only ever a distortion pedal way from being exciting. But no, really, ambient textures like this pedal creates are always best as part of a whole. These New Age-sounding demos are just the clearest way to show off what they do, the real value is adding these tones as additional layers in songs. Or, again, making experimental shoegaze by running them through fucktons of fuzz, a la Lovesliescrushing.

Slowly nudging me over the price-threshold… One question: I think the ARP mode on this is amazing and I agree that the bit crushed ones add a great texture. I wonder though if there are multiple variations of the arpeggiated sequences? Are they always the same pattern or are they completely random?

I guess I would run this after the infinite jets. I’m thinking Enzo->infinite jets->microcosm. I need a small pedal board to go before my conventional effects board. I can’t fit my Enzo and infinite jets on my main board and this looks about the size of the jets, which is big. I guess I need a separate board for these unique effects that like to be first in the chain. I have so many pedals I feel like I need a separate board for each effect

I read a story somewhere, maybe it was Joel Korte himself, saying that he is a good friend with Jason Campbell and that one day they were both talking about this pedal idea and that both ideas sounded very similar, we know them now as Microcosm and Blooper, so they decided to never talk about it and see how both final products gonna be and seems like they are not so similar after all, what do you think?
@collectoremitter 3 жыл бұрын
I do remember hearing that, I think knobs said that somewhere. But in the end, I think they're very different. On paper, they're both loopers with glitchy pitch effects, but Blooper is way more focused on the loop and then mangling that loop, and Microcosm is really about the effects to me, and. then the looper and reverb build on top of that

I prefer to only do stereo demos if the stereo is a key part of the pedal, for a few reasons. Most people only play in mono, so it gives them an idea as well, and I'm also not set up to record two amps at once which means my stereo demos are direct with an amp sim

I'd say the similarities stop at the very basic description (reverb with pitch modes, and pitch pedal with reverb). This is much more focused on the glitch and granular effects, while the NightSky is a reverb first and has those extra pitch controls in a small way

It's strange, on my unit the effects level and overall output of the Microscosm is quite low. Despite having mix at least at 80, filter open, activity up to 100 %. Of course on instrument level with guitar. Did a firmware upgrade, not really changing much. Do you have a booster after the Microcosm?

unfortunately, for now it has a lot of quirks. mentioned them on reverb. the main one: you cannot switch an engine while your saved loop is playing, switching stops it. the latest I found: when you made a loop and switching the mode to pre-fx (so your record becomes a foundation for new layer of effect), you cannot record it via overdub for some reason. it would be huge feature fo live performances. it's nice, but really waiting for new firmwares. when you realize it could be twice better having some little tweaks, it's a bummer.
