Pigtronix Cosmosis Stereo Ambient Reverb Effects Pedal
MORPH ACROSS THE SPACETIME SPECTRUM. Years in the making and the first of its kind, Cosmosis is a stereo, high-fidelity ambient reverb that allows musicians to tailor three original spaces–Theatre, Temple, and Cosmos–as well as manipulate them in real time. 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 pressing the left footswitch.
The three space algorithms found inside of Cosmosis are all-original and truly unique. Theatre puts the player in a variable room that ranges from cozy to highly reflective using multiple parallel short reverberators. Temple occupies a dramatic, large indoor space by implementing numerous long reflections in both parallel and series. And Cosmos creates an enormous spectrum of heavenly reverb derived from the harmonic content it’s fed.
Cosmosis comes with four custom reverb presets, including morphing.
Cosmosis runs on standard 9VDC at 100mA power.
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
Knobs
- Size: Sets the size of the reverb space.
- Blend: Sets the balance between wet (reverb) and dry (clean signal).
- Tone: Clockwise from noon, this control applies a high-pass filter, making the reverb sound brighter. Counter-clockwise from noon, this control applies a low-pass filter, making the reverb sound darker.
- Morph Rate: Sets the amount of time it takes for parameters (size, blend, tone, rate) to change values when the morph function is triggered.
Engage Footswitch: Pressing the ENGAGE footswitch toggles between bypass and effect on.
Rear Panel I/O
- In 1: Use this input for mono sound sources.
- In 2: Use this input for the second input of a stereo signal. When nothing is connected to Input 2, the signal from Input 1 is automatically passed to Input 2.
- Out 2: Second audio output. Use Out 2 for stereo instruments or when you want to split a mono signal so that it can be output to two separate destinations.
- Power: Cosmosis runs on 9VDC @100mA power using a standard 2.1mm Neg. tip power supply.
PRESETS
- Preset Select: Push to toggle through presets, press and hold to select. To save a preset after making changes, press and hold. Presets can be toggled and selected using only footswitches.
- Space Select: Push to toggle through 3 available reverb spaces.
Boot Options You can press and hold certain switches during boot up to toggle special functions:
- Engage Switch: TRAILS: Disconnects delay line input but leaves delay line output connected in bypass for natural decay of reverb after bypass.
- Preset: REMOTE SWITCH control mode: Toggles remote switch functionality between Preset Selection and Space Selection.

MORPH ACROSS THE SPACETIME SPECTRUM
Years in the making and the first of its kind, Cosmosis is a stereo, high-
fidelity ambient reverb that allows musicians to tailor three original
spaces—Theatre, Temple, and Cosmos—as well as manipulate them in real time. 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 pressing the left footswitch.
The three space algorithms found inside of Cosmosis are all-original and truly
unique. Theatre puts the player in a variable room that ranges from cozy to
highly reflective using multiple parallel short reverberators. Temple occupies
a dramatic, large indoor space by implementing numerous long reflections in
both parallel and series. And Cosmos creates an enormous spectrum of heavenly
reverb derived from the harmonic content it’s fed.
The Morph feature found in Cosmosis provides a simple way for players to
trigger a gradual change to various reverb parameters over a specified amount
of time set by the accompanying Morph Rate knob. 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 different sets of reverb parameters at
their desired rate. 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.
Cosmosis runs on standard 9VDC at 100mA power.
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
Knobs
-
Size
Sets the size of the reverb space. -
Blend
Sets the balance between wet (reverb) and dry (clean signal). -
Tone
Clockwise from noon, this control applies a high-pass filter, making the reverb sound brighter. Counter-clockwise from noon, this control applies a low-pass filter, making the reverb sound darker. -
Morph Rate
Sets the amount of time it takes for parameters (size, blend, tone, rate) to change values when the morph function is triggered. -
Engage Footswitch
Pressing the ENGAGE footswitch toggles between bypass and effect on. -
Morph Footswitch
Pressing the MORPH footswitch begins oscillation between red and green states for whatever combination of parameters have been assigned to morph. Pressing the MORPH footswitch again parks the oscillation at whichever state it was heading toward (red or green). When parked, a double-tap engages a one-time morph from red to green or vice versa.
A long press of the MORPH switch enters Preset Select mode. Once you have entered the Preset Select mode, the currently selected red preset LED will get dimmer. A short press on the MORPH switch will move up one preset and a long press will move down one preset. Once the desired preset is queued, pressing the ENGAGE foot switch will activate it. When the footswitch is used to load a preset, the bypass status of the effect will not change.
Rear Panel I/O -
In 1
Use this input for mono sound sources. -
In 2
Use this input for the second input of a stereo signal. When nothing is connected to Input 2, the signal from Input 1 is automatically passed to Input -
Out 1
Main audio output. This jack expects a standard (TS) ¼” instrument cable. Amp, mixer, or DI goes here. -
Out 2
Second audio output. Use Out 2 for stereo instruments or when you want to split a mono signal so that it can be output to two separate destinations. -
Remote
This ¼” TRS input allows for remote control via a passive TRS remote switch. -
Power
Cosmosis runs on 9VDC @100mA power using a standard 2.1mm Neg. tip power supply.
Morph Assign and Knob Behavior
To enable morphing for any combination of the 4 on-board knobs, push to toggle
through the 4 LEDs that represent the 4 knobs. The LED corresponding to the
currently selected knob will blink. Press and hold to assign that knob to
morph. Press and hold again to turn off the morph assignment. When a knob is
assigned to morph, Cosmosis will remember any changes to the knob positions in
both red and green states. When a knob that is assigned to morph is changed
during a morph, the new value is memorized when the morph reaches the
destination color. When a morph assignment is turned off, any previously
memorized values for red/green are discarded.
PRESETS
-
Preset Select
Push to toggle through presets, press and hold to select. To save a preset after making changes, press and hold. Presets can be toggled and selected using only footswitches. -
Space Select
Push to toggle through 3 available reverb spaces. -
Presets
The 4 LEDs above the ENGAGE footswitch indicate which preset is currently selected. Pressing the push button above the ENGAGE switch cycles through the 4 available presets. When a new preset is selected, the corresponding LED will blink. Press and hold the push button (or hit the ENGAGE footswitch) to load the selected preset. To save a preset after making changes, press and hold the push button. This action will cause the current preset LED to double-blink. If you want to save to over the current preset, press and hold the push button to save. If you want to save to a different preset, press the push button until the desired LED is double blinking. Then press and hold the push button to save. If you want to exit the preset save without saving anything, press either the ENGAGE footswitch or MORPH footswitch. -
Remote Switch
The Cosmosis is compatible with a single, dual, or triple footswitch momentary remote using a TRS (balanced ¼”) cable. The Remote switch can be used to select between the three spaces as follows:
Tip to sleeve = Theatre
Tip and ring to sleeve = Temple -
Ring to sleeve = Cosmos
The Remote switch can also be made to control PRESET SELECT by pushing and holding the preset selector switch during boot up. When this mode is activated, you can still cycle through the three reverb spaces using the middle button of our 3-button universal remote switch. The remote switch functions in preset select mode are as follows:
Tip to sleeve = Toggle Preset 1 & 2
Ring to sleeve = Toggle Preset 3 & 4
Tip and ring to sleeve = Cycle between the 3 reverb spaces -
Boot Options
You can press and hold certain switches during boot up to toggle special functions:
Engage Switch = TRAILS: Disconnects delay line input but leaves delay line output connected in bypass for natural decay of reverb after bypass.
Preset = REMOTE SWITCH control mode: Toggles remote switch functionality between Preset Selection and Space Selection.
