Hologram Electronics Microcosm Effects Pedal Demo on Harp

I've been wanting to try my harp with the Hologram Electronics Microcosm pedal for SO long, and honestly, I think the Microcosm is my new favorite effects pedal of 2021 so far! Keep watching to hear how the Hologram Microcosm sounds with my Lottie Canto electric kalimba!

Of all the effects devices that I have seen you use, the Microcosm seems best suited for Harp playing to me. Ahhh, the celestial realms!!!

[@emilyharpist]

Hahah right?! It’s my new favorite pedal! Thank you so much! 🥰🎶

[@ricktheexplorer]

@@emilyharpist This pedal sounds fun. I'm still processing all the pedals I have seen here; but this is a great one. So many are so excellent.

[@chriskirschten203]

As a guitar player always looking for possible sounds, this is actually the best demonstration channel I have found. The clarity of the harp sound and the beautiful playing give a more complete picture of what the different effects can do. Thank you!

As a fellow non-guitarist who loves pedals, I thank you for being a fantastic musician who does an excellent job of showing how pedals sound in a non-guitar setting. Gorgeous! Your clarity in playing and composition really highlights the pedal in a way that is beautiful, tasteful, and useful. Thank you for your work and for your channel!

Hey Emily! Do you think you and Russ would ever record a deep dive into the Microcosm explaining what exactly all the knobs do and how to train our ears to hear the subtleties? That would be sooo helpful for all the harpists on your channel that are new to pedals and now have a Microcosm because of this amazing video! 😻🙏 Thanks for considering and thanks for all you do for the music community! 💕

hey! i'm also a harpist and am borrowing the microcosm from a friend with intent to buy it - i'm also really new to this stuff but have lots of friends in the gear world. maybe we could connect and i can see if some of my friends can help us figure it out if you haven't already!

I got like the 400th Microcosm made, it's a 'noice' little box, but noisy when sitting idol, it's bonkers. I have to read the manual again, it also needs a pre-amp to feed it beefy and juicy signals

[@emilyharpist]

[@papaguillojr.6055]

I have a question, well actually two... How many pedals do you currently have and how much money have you invested in that? And second, the songs that you play with the harp in these demos, are they already existing songs, or are they your work? Edit: Now that I am reading it, I realized that there are three xd.

[@emilyharpist]

I have way too many pedals!! I have owned a lot over time, but I don't always keep them permanently. Right now, I have about 35 or 40 in my collection. I buy a lot of them on my own, but sometimes pedal companies send me them to make demos with. Now and then, I sell ones I don't often use to fund new pedal purchases. It would be hard to figure out exactly how much I've spent on them all, but I honestly wouldn't even want to know 😂 I make sure I only spend my disposable income on them, though! It's a huge passion of mine, and I'm using a lot of them in my album that I'm working on, it's been so much fun!! The music I play in these demos are all improvised! I make them up on the spot and try to play things that help show what the pedals can do best. The only time I play music that someone else writes is when I label it as a cover.
