Over the years we begin to find and settle into our favorite pieces of guitar gear, and pedals are no exception, and it's a rare event when something new comes along and takes the top spot in our list of favorite gear. This week I have a new all time favorite guitar pedal, the Microcosm from ‪@HologramElectronics‬

Does this not remind you of Daniel Lanois , Rick? At least on some level.

@artreno5135 3 года назад

It's really interesting how that device creates the sounds it derives from the guitar input .. and how you as part of the musical " feedback loop " react and play against it creating more musical feedback to you !! It's like when you are jamming with good players and creating stuff on the fly with each other but this little box takes it to a different level ..

@MrSatanismybitch 3 года назад

15 seconds in and 2 things are plain...: 1. I love the sounds in this video 2. Rhett has arrived at his happy place (literally)

@CaseEJoanz 3 года назад

I know I'm late to the party, but it seems like all RU-vidrs have a UA Ox Box, so I finally pulled the trigger. It should be here in a few days. Then, if I can find anyone who has a good sounding IR of a JBL D130F, or a K120, I can do what I need to do. I am a total Fender/JBL guy! We aren't many. You'd be surprised what your Bassman or Bandmaster sounds like through a good old JBL.

@fredstevens799 3 года назад

@@CaseEJoanzagreed! I'm a lifelong (that's a long time...) total JBL fanatic! I play bass (Ric 4001) and have a pair of extra-heavy-duty D140 15" (a la Dick Dale) mounted in a 2X15 Peavey cab - always wanted a Dual Showman, but scored a '65 blackface BandMaster! What a sound!!! I heard Michael Bloomfield play thru a JBL equipped Fender twin with the Electric Flag and he was louder and clearer than Jimi (2nd bill that nite... 2 Marshall stacks) - my ears rang for a couple of days after that show! BTW, I got an "Elevenuator" attenuator from Acorn Amplifiers to keep stuff from falling off the walls when I play in my music room... ride that train!

That actually makes me sad. I'm 61 now and played guitar in a few bands for 21 years. Now my fingers don't want to anymore and I sold all my equipment a few years ago (except for the BOSS Harmonizer which nobody wants for some reason). I so wish I could be young again and get my hands on this beauty. 💖

I think it’s cool, a lot like a synthesizer, but for some reason, I like to be directly involved in making all the sounds that are coming out, with the exception of mild delay and reverb. Feeling like an old control freak. If it keeps playing while I go to the store, who needs me?

@terryconnell 3 года назад

Rhett goes Ambient/DreamPop, and I LIKE it! Two days later, after a case of Red Bull, a pound of coffee, and no sleep, Rhett emerges from the studio and faces the mowing of his new lawn, now 4 inches too long...

@Dungeon_of_Regret 3 года назад

this thing is $450 and easily replaces a Mood and Blooper (and other weirdos). if you must have 1 "weird" pedal, this is the one you'll keep forever. it makes magic. it makes songs.. (maybe the blooper does a few things different, but i see no reason to keep a Mood if you have this).

@Papa-Kev 3 года назад

Its only $450, but its like getting multiple single pedals. Price is reasonable.

@crazyquilt 3 года назад

Microcosm is life. No, really -- put a Life Pedal in front of it and you can open portals to new realities. Put a Golden Reverb after it and assure you travel to higher planes. I've had my Microcosm since the beginning, and it has so far exceeded my expectations I can't even describe. Especially after the firmware update. It's really helpful to watch you discover it because, even though I'm a veteran user, there are still new sounds to be discovered. Absolutely brilliant all around.

Anyone with a keyboard/guitar plus software/hardware (like this pedal) can make cool sounding music. If everyone was making music, things would be better.

For an effect that bombed in the market (partially because it works best against a Rhythm-synced midi signal), try the Boss SL-20 slicer. Their patterns aren't semi-random, but they do some similar things. The leslie swirl on top and "harmoniser" effects are lovely. Another old one - the Digitech timebender. That has strum-programmed delay patterns and keyed interval harmonisation, which is very cool. Add that to ducking echo, mmmmm
