- four delay lines with relative shift
- Giant Reverb and Granular Delay
- Blur and Drift control different parameters within the algorithms
- Adjustable Suppressor / Compressor effect
- Controls for Drive
- Feedback
- input and output level
- High-pass and low-pass filters can be activated via footswitch (three frequencies per filter selectable)
- Footswitch for Erase
- Reverse and Record
- Internal signal processing at 24 bits / 48kHz
- Stereo inputs: Two 6.3 mm TRS
- Stereo outputs: Two 6.3 mm TRS
- Stereo headphones output: 6.3 mm TRS
- Dimensions (W x D x H): 342 x 153 x 68 mm

PROS
- • Oxidized metal housing offers a unique, tactile, and visually striking aesthetic.
- • Algorithms provide genuinely distinct and evolving sonic textures, beyond typical delay.
- • Footswitch control for erase/reverse/record streamlines performance and experimentation.
- • Blur/Drift controls offer nuanced modulation for organic, evolving soundscapes.
CONS
- • The learning curve is steep; mastering the algorithms takes dedicated practice.
- • Limited input/output options restrict integration into complex studio setups.
- • Rust Edition’s aesthetic may not appeal to users preferring a cleaner, modern look.

Frequently Asked Questions
The oxidation process is purely cosmetic; it doesn't impact the sound. The finish is sealed, providing reasonable protection, but aggressive handling could still affect it over time.
While it doesn’t offer direct DAW integration, you can easily record its output into a DAW for further processing and layering – it's designed to be a standalone creative tool.
Absolutely. The Cosmos utilizes complex delay networks and modulation, creating evolving textures far beyond simple looping; it's more of a generative sound processor than a traditional looper.
