Well, I spent the last good while playing with it. Turned off for a few minutes got a job done, came back and played again, and...
WOW!!! AWESOME!!!
First off, I already have a few nice analog chorus pedals:
-Boss CE-1
-Boss CE-2 (MIJ, long dash, silver screw)
-Boss CE-3
-Boss Dimension C
-Boss CH-1 (analog pre 2000 mn3007 version with mod for double depth and rate)
-Retro-Sonic Chorus
Each one of those has a particular sound/character to it. They're all different, and they're all fun (ok, maybe not the CE-3, I never use that one. Sorry, poor old forgotten CE-3).
But man oh man, the Cosmichorus isn't just a chorus/vibrato, it's a chorus shaping mega-machine! You don't just use it for chorus, you use it to literally design your chorus sound using the (mind blowingly huge) range of parameters!
I'm seriously considering making a chart of all my favorite settings for quick and easy dialing in (eventually I'll have them memorized, but I'm still kinda finding it overwhelming at this point).
The massive range chorus/vibrato tones this pedal churns out are absolutely beautiful!!!
On a completely superficial note: the pics online don't do justice to the sparkly paint on the welcome home units. Now that I see it in person, it really flickers and shines! As you move perspective the different bits of glitter catch the light and sparkle. Kinda neat now, as every time I look down at my board the Cosmichorus really stands out. I also love the big domed bypass indicator; nice touch!
Well done Ryan, this thing is a true masterpiece!
