Hologram Electronics Chroma Console

[@AFNacapella]

gotta love that multieffects become more and more pedalboards in a box, instead of a choice of single effects

[@crypteiansentry1922]

I can't play a single instrument, but I am subscribed and totally amazed by the last twelve months of listening to the incredible sounds that you create Emily. Your music is beautiful, inciteful, and pure magic to listen to. The special people who have appeared and demonstrated their instruments and music are also very unique. Don't stop, music is one of our global languages. Much love and appreciation from an Aussie veteran.

[@ringtone_rhythm]

This seems like a winner. Good value, tons of options. I could see someone turning to this for pretty much any instrument.

[@soacker25]

If you want good value buy zoom cdr instead

[@ericpeters0n]

@@soacker25great unit, but an absolute pain to program

[@michaellyle8769]

The guitarists who demo these pedals always play horrible stuff through beautiful pedals, you always play beautiful stuff through beautiful pedals. I always check here first.

[@TheHeroJourneys]

Fundamental frequencies matter!

[@09gosha]

As a guitarist in constant search of decent pedal reviews I can surely attest to that

[@arrestedeffort]

Some of the sounds you got from your harp running through this pedal were just pure musical bliss. They strongly remind me of some of my favorite bands.

[@codyrathman]

i haven't been this excited for a new pedal in a long time.

[@andrewrollinson7739]

I love the effects, and the fact that the sound originates from a HARP makes it even better. But seriously, you are going to bankrupt me.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

No lie I bought like 3 pedals as soon as I found this channel

[@landonewts]

IKR?

[@rikkousa]

For faster bankruptcy, start with JHS pedal first episode. Turn the YT speed up to 150% as you can eliminate the slight Alabama drawl and get through bankruptcy much faster” By the time you get to the Colorbox 2, you will have enough money to enjoy whats left while having enough left over for food and rent with a special monthly “kitty” to buy your favs from Emily.:)

[@doctorauxiliary]

welcome to the emily & russ gang!!

[@LotusEater14]

Their demo video was amazing. I was hoping they would send one to you. This looks like a truly amazing product.

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks so much! It’s really amazing

[@i-never-look-at-replies-lol]

Of course they sent her one: it's free advertising for them. Companies can just use KZbinrs to shill a product without having to spend any money on marketing & advertising so they can make themselves more money while maybe the KZbinr gets a few views out of it.

[@RecliningWhale]

@@i-never-look-at-replies-lol while the sentiment is correct in this case the demo video they released was already quite good by itself. giving it to youtubers *is* a great way to encourage impulse buys among a community already primed to purchase new and interesting gear

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

They should use this Demo on their website, that was amzing.

I bought one as soon as I say it, it can’t get here fast enough.

[@emilyharpist]

You’re gonna love it

[@kylespeller]

@RhettShull can you make a video reviewing the Chroma Console

[@cheliozlatchkeykid7886]

Ordered mine right away. It’s gonna be insane with the microcosm.

[@brennanbova1756]

I'm a geek for design and this is the nicest looking multi effect pedal I've seen

[@ExpatZ266]

Super fun! Been watching you for a year now, seeing you hook up guitar pedals to a harp with pickups never gets old. And bonus, you use them so differently from how a guitar player would it that it is inspirational to me as a guitar player to go outside the small box we guitarists tend to live and create in. Thanks Emily.

[@chrislink73]

wow, I think Hologram really out did themselves here. I have the Microcosm and absolutely love it, but this seems much more use-able for a band setting where you want to switch through different core tones quickly and the flexibility of the effects (plus stereo + MIDI) is a really good value for players who don't want to lug around 10 or more effects pedals.

[@shquankinket8068]

The microcosm is definitely a specialty pedal. It’s pretty hard to find a way to fit the weird shit it does into a band

[@offchristianamr]

the sound at 4:52 is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard in my life 🥲🥲🥲 totally obsessed with this thing, i adore the design and it just looks so fun to play with.

[@davejones4292]

Ordered. The lack of menu diving is a big plus. Thanks for the great examples of available sounds. ❤

[@distor_sean711]

So glad yours is the first vid I’ve seen for this one!! What a great device, love the routing options, Hologram always bringing something rad. Amazing sounds, really loved the reverse section.

[@samecoff2788]

Ah! I wondered who would be first to review this pedal. Glad it’s you. I made is only one minute through Hologram’s demo vid before buying it. I’ve been a huge fan of Infinite Jets and Microcosm for a long time. Another winner from Hologram Electronics!

[@PocketUnv]

This pedal seems great, but above all, your musicianship is on such an amazing level. Truly inspiring.

[@LucidFeelingMusic]

Absolutely incredible the amount of sounds and textures you can seem to get out of this thing! Always great stuff guys! Keep killing it! 🔥🎊🎉🎈🫶

[@emilyharpist]

Thanks king

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

I love how many people are willing and eager to experiment with sound to it's utter limits.

[@johnnyrenfield]

I already want this pedal and watching your demo is just an extra bonus 🤘💀🍻🔥

[@DAMAGR]

This seems like a perfect pedal to have permanently set up with I/O of your audio interface for outboard routing.

[@AceGarpTruckingCo]

This is exactly what I'm doing.

[@JujuKidzZzGaming]

@@AceGarpTruckingCo that's what i'm trying to do too, but the sound quality is degraded. however when i plug in the output of my synth, it works perfectly. another problem: i'm on fl studio and i can't get just the wet, there's still some dry. if you're on this software, what's your routing please?

[@AceGarpTruckingCo]

@@JujuKidzZzGaming I'm on Ableton, but my routing is: send whatever I want processed via Ext Out at the end of the track, then have a second audio track with Ext. In from the 9/10 Chroma Console inputs. In other words, I'm using it as an insert with the Mix knob at 100%. I'm not using it as send/return. I think it works better this way. I don't think it's designed to be used as Send/Return, as there are usually timing artefacts when mixing with the dry. Also: don't forget to use the Chroma input calibration - hold down both footswitches on the Chroma to send the lights purple, then play into it - when you change sources. Chroma needs to apply more gain to guitars and the like whereas synth line outs will be a lot hotter - just let it work out its own levels.

[@winnipegelectricalco.]

I totally missed in the original announcement that you can change the order of effects, this pedal looks incredible!

[@corpusaethemera]

Reverb into the saturation is exactly the thing I’ve been waiting for in one box!!

[@log1kanobi]

i need to cop one before they raise the price. INCREDIBLE value for the current pedal market and i can for sure see this thing going up

[@DarmokAtTanagra]

I build/design electronics as a hobbyist dork, appreciate the smart design withe the color coded LED's, v intuitive visual fdbk

[@joshfirlotte]

Really good demo! I love the way you explain it, as if you’re talking to an actual person, not like overtly trying to sell it, super refreshing, huge fan!

[@matthew.wilson]

Today's demos seem particularly melodic. Thanks for that :)

[@infacedgetout]

My dream pedal right now

[@blakezacharymusic]

Insanely beautiful

[@SheldonBird]

As a guy with more experience with plugins, this is so exciting to see! It reminds me of how I route some of my effects in my DAW

[@emilyharpist]

That’s so amazing! It does seem kinda similar 🤔

[@sov777]

Thats D'AWESOME DUDE😎👍✨

[@davedraws76]

Good hell. That piece you played to close out the video was so lovely I forgot about the pedal

[@KISEwun]

I just found out about this yesterday. Glad to see a demo. I think I'll add this to my pedal board and be done adding pedals for life.

[@smallsanctuaries]

What a wonderful pedal! 😮 Custom midi options is always such a selling point for me

[@blahpunk1]

tremolo before reverb is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Sinesquares]

That’s an epic pedal and demo! It’s a real life RC-20! 😏

[@leftovernoise]

That's what I thought too! Except for id rather have a physical pedal. I do have rc20 but nowadays I'm playing more with my hardware with the computer off. so this should scratch that rc20 itch

[@g3cd]

Love it that while some companies still only do one trick, mono ponies and other do weird option-ities pedals with 20 dip-switches and unlabelled tertiary controls with a lot of menu-diving, Hologram does userfriendly, stereo pedals with multiple effects. This will replace my overdrive pedal (that is already rare, as it's stereo and has a mix knob that even the super expensive Acidbox III doesn't have). And you can never have enough reverbs or delays. Also a decent reverse mode is hard to find. 100% buying this.

[@gorgenfol]

The third hand is coming in useful!

[@sov777]

Russ FTW 😌👍

[@f_r_e_d]

[@Ryousake]

This is a really cool pedal! It almost feels like its pretty easy to understand what everything does! since I'm a nooby to pedals and plugins, it feels almost like you could really learn what the terms mean and how it sounds. Very cool!!!

[@earkittycat]

[@emilyharpist]

They really do

[@beastabuelos6421]

Heaviest Harp of all time damn! Can't wait to see what you do with this. Seems like it has a lot of versatility and potential.

[@landonewts]

Wow. Great breakdown of this new pedal. I don’t often get pedals - right now I just have a vintage RAT for distortion, Ditto 4 looper, and an Eventide H9 for multi effects. But damn, the Chroma sounds incredible. Love your reviews, and how you combine musical artistry and technological knowledge. Definitely saving up for a Chroma.

[@Iofflight78]

I've never bought anything so fast after I saw Hologram's post about this thing.

[@nightnoodler812]

Looks and sound fantastik, and so simple to operate, none of those stupid LED screens to flip through. Retro looking but lots of multi functions, awsome pedal. Thanks great Vid and the link, lots of cool stuff there. Hologram seems like a small company, probably excellent quailty and service. I only see 4 console pedals on the site, you should get them to send you the other 3, would love to hear them applied to your Harp. Such cool sounds love it.

[@micktheman6]

Man.... that texture bank is gonna make this thing a classic on its own

[@shquankinket8068]

[@alanthompson5639]

Hello Emily, I just discovered your channel, and I had to subscribe immediately. You have such a beautiful brain for creating all kinds of sonic goodness. I am very envious of your abilities for exploring combinations of effects to achieve something completely fresh. I come from the keyboard world, and I have always felt that a harp is exactly like playing a vertical piano, but with much more beauty and elegance. I completely love all the toys you have at your disposal to shape and mold whatever audio direction you wish to go. More jealous, I guess. I will keep my eyes and ears open to everything your beautiful brain shares to this world.

[@Red-Tape-Rending]

As a layman, sometimes I don't know how to identify differences in sound when you activate some of these gadgets. Half the time I don't know what these devices are or what they're supposed to do. One day I want to be a harpist, but I feel like just past that goal is this glass wall of audio tech and related jargon I have to break through before I can get adventurous with any music I create. You're already where I'd like to be, so I keep watching your videos to try learning what I can from you. Thanks for doing what you do, Emily. Lots of love. ♥

[@philliprose174]

Seems like an exceptional pedal for chill jams.

[@DannoDemo]

Wow, wonderful review! As a bassist I wish I had a full reason/excuse to use all the sounds. Cheers and thank you for showing us the very interesting pedal and some wonderful playing.

[@35mmband18]

Never expected this demo to be performed on a Harp- very super cool!

You're a moment of peace for me, in a way.
