Mike Baggetta's Non-Demo of Hologram Electronics' Microcosm

This is not really a demo, but I think you'll get the idea... part of my non-demo series of short improvs showcasing what some of one device might do when making music. Please hit SUBSCRIBE for more...
Guitar (Koll Tornado), into Microcosm, into reverb pedal (just a tad for dry guitar signal only, all the other big reverbs here are from Microcosm), into amp (Fryette GP/DI)
I had the pleasure for most of this last month to work with my friendly local Knoxville electronics co. (Hologram) to beta test and offer input on this incredible device... Enjoy!

Best "not a demo" ever to show what the Microcosm can do. Great TONES. Lovely to listen to.

[@Winksmusic]

Make no mistake, it's not just that this pedal sounds amazing. This man can play! Seriously beautiful stuff

[@hiqwertyhi]

some of the most tasteful vibrato arm usage i've heard in a long time

[@jesselough]

Holy fuck. This thing (and your playing here) sounds unbelievably gorgeous. Just burned my gear budget for a while but I think this thing is in the line of sight now.

[@ronaldeatman6603]

Man, I would love to hear the Microcosm hooked up to the Rainbow Machine and Moog Matriarch.

[@willswitchcraft]

I think you've demonstrated the pedal very well, especially for a NON demo. Mine should arrive tomorrow, so I'm really eager......

[@PottedJam]

How's it been going?

[@m.g.kroger]

Your non demo inhabits very nicely with the imaginations about this pedal I am breeding in my mind...

[@albertoziliottomusic]

Great Sound! i would love to buy one of this piece of magic !

[@michaelbreach5862]

Ah I’m waiting on my preorder to get here. Wonder when it’s gonna happen. I’ve had a big open spot on my pedalboard for this for over a week in anticipation!

[@fanc903]

Finally a Microcosm video! you're the first on KZbin!

[@pj_day]

Very nicely done Mike. You too, Hologram!

[@hurkm4671]

水橋慶次 made me watch this because they're so excited for this. ty for making them happy.

[@colbycraig3900]

I just imploded within myself over excitement. Can not wait til mine arrives. Thanks for this

[@LessonsByStratcat]

Awesome Jeff Beck-ey stuff. I just ordered one of these. Can't wait!

[@tmyhouse]

5:51 sounds like when a witch is nearby in left 4 dead lol

[@JeffHendricks]

Thoroughly enjoyed that. You're not helping my GAS at all though...

[@pjnewman5947]

Really nice, Mike. Thanks for not beating us over the head with it.

[@michaelcolgan3383]

First video I saw of this besides the teasers, just pre-ordered it : D

[@Eliguitar1]

100% yes to all this. This box is a beast. Good to hear you helped contribute to process, it no doubt helped a lot. Great guitar playing here as well.

[@JohnSherwoodGuitar]

Thanks for doing this! I think this is what I was looking for when I purchased the Infinite Jets. Now I need a microcosm.

[@Grozeil]

Awesome demo and playing, I'm sold.

[@AveMcree]

Beautiful guitar play!!

[@qtipbluedog]

Nice. Congrats to the guys at Hologram for an amazing pedal. This thing sounds incredible in your hands man.

[@zachjackson5522]

Think I enjoy your playing more than the pedal. Still v tempted to snatch one of these up though.

[@hakonsoreide]

That sounds amazing. Possibly the best non-demo I've seen of any product. Perhaps I should relabel my videos showcasing some small part of what one might do with a musical device non-demos too to get more viewers. It seems to work for you. if this video is anything to go by. Anyway, I'm definitely subscribing and looking forward to more non-demos. Keep up the good work.

[@dewberry3043]

Ahhh satisfied and hyped! I hope to get my shipping notification soon.

[@patrickhargon]

Truly beautiful guitar thoughts.

[@jurimusic]

Nice playing! This pedal is just amazing. I ordered one just few days ago. Can't wait!

[@MrKadidle51]

How do you like it? Ordered mine last night.

[@Tree_Strings]

The playing style reminds me of John martyn. I bet he would of liked this pedal. Really nice demo.

[@strangesevin]

Your a very tastes ful player as well great job cant wait to get into it with mine I susbscribed as well you seem like a great musican

[@adesolaodunayo2774]

He is a great musician!!

[@Iodine74]

I’m not even a minute in and more than ever I cannot wait until Tuesday when mine is supposed to be delivered.

[@mabnotes]

...and believe me... this is scratching the surface.

[@Iodine74]

@@mabnotes Yeah I've read thru the manual. Well about 1/2 of it. I think I just need to see it in action. That onboard reverb sounds pretty nice tho.

[@Cle44139]

Probably the most exciting email in recent memory I've received was the manual to this thing... So thrilled to finally get mine this week too!

[@jat5am]

just wow. glad they went stereo. how do you think should one get their «infinite jets» along with this monster? or microcosm includes all the sweet stuff already?

[@johnhawkins191]

That was amazing.

[@johnduval482]

Just realized you are the Mike of the Mike Baggetta Trio..face palm. Just discovered your video of the trio playing Every Living Thing. Just outrageous! just totally outside, I’m on board. Was that piece charted out in standard notation or was it your own custom score? great work, hope you put up more.

[@mabnotes]

Regular notation, but the players always add more than I could think to write... recording coming out in Sept. on the new mssv album...

[@johnduval482]

Mike Baggetta thanks, I’ll watch for the notification about the record. Saul Koll and I are longtime friends going back to the early 90s. Had several of his custom instruments when I was playing professionally. Thanks for posting up your music.

[@HypeConsumer]

Excellent run through! Everything sounds so good. I have one question though - are all modes accessible without needing to loop? It looks to be the case but I want to double check. Also, did you do any sort of edits to the config? I’m assuming stereo I/O and latching hold but curious about the others

[@DK-qe6uo]

I’ve hoped the same thing about the effect being available outside of the Loop. Love the Infinite Jets but wish the effects were a bit more immediate

[@mabnotes]

It’s not in looping mode until about half way through the video.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

They need to make a mini version that is just mosaic in reverse it would sell for sure

[@neuchigen]

Dude. They could make a mini version of each function and have a whole line of simplified versions of this and probably make a killing! And you and I could get a decent profit percentage for our combined brilliance, right? ;)

[@jimsy5530]

Wish I'd realised this was out before buying the ehx superego. It does what I want, but this sounds way better, and seems more intuitive.

[@waltersmetak]

I have both pedals. I can say that the Microcosm is light years ahead of the Superego.

[@jimsy5530]

@@waltersmetak Boooo, too late! Ah well.

[@XIIMonkeysMusicGroup]

I need one! Bought Poly Digit and Zoia first though. Now I'm broke!

[@jaykraemer8106]

This pedal is almost worth it just for the way the lights move. But mostly it’s worth it because of everything else.

[@jonaseggen2230]

: D !!!!

[@johnduval482]

and you’re playing a Koll Super Glide Almighty right? Just discovered this pedal a few days ago...🤦‍♂️ it’s like having a Buchla Music Easel for guitar players

[@mabnotes]

custom koll tornado here

[@desthemoose123]

destroying (in a good way) the vibrato my friend, good job!

[@maskazas]

Is this works with winds instruments?

[@zekijindyl]

Ofcourse. The pedal will work with everything. You just need a way to convert the signal from your microphone. One option is the mixing link. My experience is, with playing with pedals is, that it won't sound as "wild" because so much of the acoustic sound of the instrument is heard with the pedals. Also you need special microphone solutions too prevent bleed from other instruments.

[@maskazas]

@@zekijindyl thank you!

[@winstonsmith8236]

thanx for this.....oh patience..you'll be the death of me.

[@KunchangLeeMusic]

Siick

[@Samana009]

Chase Bliss Audio Mood and Blooper can suck it...

[@cfibanez]

The mosaic setting sounds beautiful. The rest seem rather gimmicky, not very musical.

[@Cesiumswimsuit]

If they sold a pedal with Mosiac for 225 it would sell like crazy... this is a brilliant pedal though, a true sonic playground if you take some time to have a conversation with it.
