What extra goodies did he put on it for you? The cosmichorus is already an amazing pedal, v1 or v2.

just a couple of small tweaks -- no new knobs or switches or anything
ryan is just always fine tuning and improving......should be here by next week, and i am gonna do a FULL demo of it as soon as it gets here!

Meeting Alex Lifeson at 12, man, that is cool! Any Trailer Park Boys fans around here? He was great on an episode of that show a few years back.
Ok, so the Cosmichorus... it's not a new version or any major changes or anything like that... just a little tweak in a couple places that gives the effect a bit more depth and speed. One of the challenges I always face with pedals that have oscillators in them is something that most people probably never will encounter but I go to great lengths to uncover.. ticking and thumping. I test our pedals in very high gain situations to make sure they don't make noises I don't like. Usually the ticking and thumping of the oscillator is closely tied to how dramatic or extreme the effect can go, in terms of both depth and speed.
I recently made a little change to Cosmichoruses that just gives them a bit more depth and speed, it was due to messing around with how I remove the ticking/thumping from the circuit and I found I could push things a bit further now.
Maybe Bobby D could show us a picture of his CCs pcb to show the difference when he makes us all a nice demo video and if anybody with a Cosmichorus v2 thinks Bobby's sounds slightly better just let me know and I'd be happy to modify it and pay the return shipping. It might turn out to be a relatively minor change, I didn't get a chance to compare it directly with a regular version without the mods, but if you think you hear a big difference then send me that pedal and I'll make the changes!
YNIB, I'm afraid I don't think you'd be able to find a Cosmichorus v1 in any store, we stopped making them at the end of 2008.

yes......my best friends older brother was a DJ at a big FM rock station in the 70s, and he got us into several REALLY cool shows, i got to meet EVH back then too.
Alex was a TOTALLY cool guy, it was the "Hemispheres" tour, and I had already learned a LOT of that album. I was just a nerdy little kid, but Alex took the time to explain his rig to me, showed me his pedalboard, and spent at least 30 minutes with me. It has ALWAYS reminded me to do the same, if i have kids at my show that are interested in what i am doing, i try to do the same.....we all need to take time to show kids how fun it is to make music, and to give them positive feedback and support. it really meant a lot to me that Alex would take that much time to explain his rig to a 12 year old kid, and i have remained a Rush fan for 30 years or more....
he had the CE-1 big grey chorus from Roland......i wanted one for years and years after seeing his

Ryan and Tanya are SO DAMN AWESOME it's not funny. i am REALLY tempted to send them my main dirt boxes, and have them make me a BIG freaking Dr Scientist board, with half Dr Scientist pedals (cosmichorus, sunnay day delay, RRR, tremoloessence, the cleanness) and my other pedals integrated into one big Cornish style board. it's really tempting

I wish they'd do that....
It'd be cooler than a Cornish board tho, because it would have some awesome Tanya-art.
