Cosmichorus settings

For those interested, I used a Cosmichorus for some of the guitar one this and I think it really helped create a cool atmosphere for the whole thing. I think I have a picture of the preset somewhere.

awesome!
also the end of your track looks like a penis

I've asked you that before haven't I! It sounds really cool, you ever show us a pic of it? 4x12 cab? I'm debating a cap change on an old amp too and I'm not familiar at all with amp repair... let's go for it buddy!

Photos tonight!

AC voltage and large caps are scary. I've got a month off in July... I'm keen! Am also considering replacing some of the ICs to make it a little quiter, although it is pretty quiet. Compressor circuit is broken but I don't need to tell you that I have no intent of fixing it

That looks awesome, Greigy!

I stopped debating the cap change and am now waiting for all the goodies to arrive in the mail, gonna do a fun little overhaul soon.. I'll take pics.. I'm pretty excited about it.

And yeah, screw that compressor circuit haha!

Thanks for the comments, everyone :3

On another note, has anyone figured out a flanger setting for the new Cosmi? I know that someone got a surprisingly good flange sound out of the older version, but honestly haven't a clue about how to go about achieving one.

Check out my demo bro - http://youtu.be/eC7SAFgoL2o?t=1m29s

I couldn't get a decent camera angle, but I think the mix is around 2 o'clock, rate around 8 (so that the LED is just barely pulsing), clock at 9 o'clock. I think the clock switch was in the middle, and the invert switch was to the right. It's important to have a fair bit of treble to really bring the woosh to the forefront. The Cosmi is running after an Elements in the vid. On it's own with a clean signal I don't think there is quite enough harmonic content to really get the flangey feel - you need some fuzz in there.

I can't believe that I missed that video. That sounds REALLY REALLY GOOD! :O Thank you!

More (faux) flange for the masses!

So I almost wonder if there is something wrong with my Cosmi. I can't seem to get a real lush chorus sound from it unless it's on extreme settings. I've listened to the demos and mine doesn't sound the same. Can someone give me a good lush chorus setting just so I can see if it's working as it should? Also there's a popping noise when I switch the inverted switch. Is that normal? Could it be because I play an active bass?

[Jwar]

I guess it could be where I put it in my signal chain too. I put it at the very end. Where are you guys placing them?

[goroth]

Mine's at the end-ish. Run it at 9v. I tried 12 and 15 for more head room but it sounded crap - dunno if it was a problem with my power supply or what, but 9v sounds as the Cosmi should sound. Check the invert switch as well - one way (left?? Can't remember) is more "hollow" and the other is full. Mix at 2 o'clock makes everything sound great in my opinion. Rate kinda slow, say 10 o'clock. Not too crazy on the clock. Should sound lush, at least on treble guitar. Not sure about bass.

[ChetMagongalo]

the key for me to getting it lush is putting the mix at or past 3 o clock. the rest is kind of to taste. and yes the popping on the invert is normal. Ryan posted that in a different thread I think (or maybe this one). it should pop much quieter after the first few though.

[Ryan]

Right, the thing about that invert toggle is until it gets toggled, the whole audio section you're switching to hasn't seen a signal, so even though it has appropriate caps in place it's still going to take an initial thump for the signal to jump from one spot to the other and then get everything charged up and lined out. It's a true bypass situation too where the signal is either going to one place or another, completely disconnected from either while it travels to either.. there has to be a bit of noise, more at first, then much less.

Lushness is one of those subjective things... first it takes some harmonic content to sound lush so I think bass players would get more bang for their lush-buck with the treble turned up and the v3 positioned after any distortion/fuzz/harmonic content adders.

I think a really nice lush sound, for guitars at least, is with every knob at noon, top toggle to the left, middle toggle to the right, bottom toggle to the right.. but for me, lush is a nice chorus sound, not too wet, but not very subtle either.
