Thanks for posting this.

I have to say though, based on loads of demos/videos, that while i really want to like the Microcosm i just don’t think the effects themselves have a good quality sound to them. They do some interesting things but there’s something about the sonic character that sounds really flat to my ears.

With that said, i’m not a massive fan of pedal demos with synths & electronics in general. I much prefer to hear them on natural/acoustic sounds. Things with more natural dynamics. There’s a Microcosm demo with a harp & that’s the one i like the most.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you on that one- I think that it’s like the lushest pedal of all time. It is tough to tame sometimes but you can def figure that out over time.

I’ve been watching this demo below & i then realised that i didn’t really like the harsh choppy settings on the Microcosm.

But here it’s demonstrating the fx in a more subtle way. Although i say subtle when in fact the fx are actually more ‘wet’. Anyway, i like what i’m hearing here, so perhaps a little re shuffle of my fx ‘to buy’ list is necessary.

Starting to find loads of demos i like now. It helps listening through my monitors, as opposed to my crap headphones (Of course it f***ing does)

Anyway, if we ever meet, feel free to custard pie me in the face for my initial doubts.

Carry on…
