Pigtronix Announces the Cosmosis Stereo Ambient Reverb

pigtronix cosmosis pedal

A stereo, high-fidelity ambient reverb designed to allows musicians to tailor three original spaces—Theatre, Temple, and Cosmos—as well as the ability to oscillate between two different reverb sounds in real time.


“Cosmosis is a new chapter for Pigtronix,” says Bond Audio CTO and Pigtronix Founder, Dave Koltai. “We worked on this pedal for years, and breakthrough after breakthrough, we kept refining and reaching so that we could offer one of the finest sounding and coolest digital reverb pedals ever made. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve been able to achieve.”

This is the very first pedal that Dave and I discussed making when we began working together,” says Bond Audio EVP of Product Ryan Kershaw. “This is an inspired product. The amount of detail and imagination that went into developing this pedal is beyond my wildest dreams. It was so much fun to make—I cannot wait to see what artists do with it.”

In addition to controls for the size of the reverb, wet/dry blend, and filtering, Cosmosis features a unique Morph function that allows musicians to alter their reverb settings in real-time by engaging the Morph footswitch. Players can set both “red” and “green” values on their Tone, Blend, and Size knobs, then engage the Morph footswitch to oscillate between the two reverb tones at their desired rate, controlled by the Morph Rate knob. Any combination of knobs can be assigned to morph. Create elegant morphs for subtle movement or sweeping, cinematic morphs for dramatic sound design effects. Save up to four custom reverb presets, including morphing.

Features

Each of the three spaces within Cosmosis is a completely unique algorithm—a combination of impulse responses and imaginative, heady mathematics.

Theatre puts the player in a variable room that ranges from cozy to highly reflective using multiple parallel short reverberators, offering vintage-inspired recording studio tones.

Temple offers a dramatic, large indoor space by implementing numerous long reflections in both parallel and series. Perfect for the sweeping cinematic reverb associated with worship spaces.

Cosmos creates an enormous spectrum of heavenly reverb derived from the harmonic content it’s fed. The spiritual center of the pedal, the Cosmos space is a rich and smooth harmonic reverb with none of the grainy octave generation or glitching that many ambient reverb pedals suffer from. Just soaring, beautiful reverb that shadows your playing.

At a recent outdoor NHL Stadium Series performance, it was so cold that my hands went numb. So, I had to improvise. Last month, I wrapped the NHL Stadium Series at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in front of 68,619 screaming fans and an army of TV production, crew, etc. The network chose to lean into Nashville’s Music City theme by including performances by 12 of the city’s biggest names in music. About a month ago, the director, Michael Dempsey, whom I worked with on several award shows, hired me as the music director. Here’s how it went....
