I saw some other members mentioning this as a replacement for Blooper so I wanted to get a better idea what, if anything, I'd be losing by making the switch. I was instead trying to start a discussion of some of the main differences from people who had experience with both since I only have experience with Blooper. I was not trying to propose a "numeric analysis". Maybe I should've just said that the Microcosm has more effects and Blooper has more layers of undo / redo. I didn't mean to put you off with the use of numbers there. If the looper is set to be after the effects, you can add new effected audio, but that's not quite the same thing. I don't think you can, but as I say, I haven't used the looper yet. I dropped a note to Hologram suggesting that if Microcosm is set up for mono input, the other input channel could be used for a side chain in for the envelope follower. It's really cool when feeding with clean guitar or lightly overdriven guitar, but fuzz doesn't seem to give it enough amplitude variance to trigger as reliably as I would like. There is a sort of blessing / curse thing in Microcosm's reliance on an envelope follower to trigger a bunch of its effects. I think Microcosm wins on overall fidelity, and it certainly wins on being able to accept hotter signals. I've yet to use the looper in Microcosm, but the hold feature is pretty fun. The Microcosm looper seems pretty vanilla, compared to Blooper. The looper in Blooper is certainly more full featured. I never really found much of a use for Blooper's Stability control, it added too much noise. ![]() Microcosm is going to be all that useful, but in the interest of being pedantic, I would say that Microcosm has 11 families of effects, with a fair amount of variation within each family, plus the pitch modulation, filter, and reverb. 60 sec.I'm not sure that this sort of numeric analysis of Blooper vs. Choose between True Bypass Switching / Buffered Bypass with trails “Hold” sampler function to freeze effects and patterns 16 User Preset slots for saving loops and settings Phrase Looper with many configuration options MIDI In/Out/Thru, clock synchronization Expression Input, mappable to many controls 11 unique granular and looping effects with 44 preset variations All loops, overdubs, and settings can be saved and recalled later using the pedal’s 16 user presets. When you’ve found a sound you like, the built-in stereo phrase looper can capture up to 60 seconds of your performance and even allows for layering phrases from different effects. Tweak the sound further using Microcosm's built-in pitch modulation, lush stereo reverb (with 4 selectable modes), and resonant lowpass filter. ![]() Microcosm's 11 groundbreaking effects (with a total of 44 preset variations) allow you to slice, stretch, rearrange, and manipulate your playing in musical ways. Cascading microloops can be locked into tight tap-tempo synced rhythms, diffused into glacial ambient textures, woven into hypnotic drones, and much more. Microcosm rearranges and reinterprets your sound in new and exciting ways using a variety of granular sampling, delay, and looping techniques.
