COSMWAVE FX is a multi-effects processor consisting of three separate effects -
phaser, delay and flanger, which can be used separately as well as combined in this
order: Phaser Flanger Delay.
Each unit is hand-assembled in Moscow, Russia.
SPECIFICATIONS:
1 analog phaser, 1 analog flanger and an analog/digital delay with up to 1
minute of feedback time;
Each effect can be used separately INDIVIDUAL as well as in a series MULTI in
this order:
Phaser Flanger Delay;
Nine 6.3 mm connectors on the back, three for each of the effects - one input
and two outputs;
Input signals in each of the effects are linear, mono. All effects have a pseudo-
stereo output;
CV inputs for the MANUAL knob control in the Phaser and Flanger sections;
Assembled using discrete components;
Durable metal case with wood sides;
Weight: 2 kg.
Dimensions: D22xW19xL10 cm
15 V AC euro type adapter included.

①VOLUME control and FX mode section.
The front panel has a volume control knob VOLUME that works as a total volume
control for all sections when turned on (Phaser Flanger Delay). When you
connect each effect separately, the VOLUME knob works only as a volume control
for the DELAY effect.
An FX MODE toggle switch allows you to select one of the two modes:
MULTI - all effects are switched in series;
INDIVIDUAL - each effect is connected separately.
To use COSMWAVE FX in MULTI mode, you must first connect a mono source to the
INPUT / MAIN jack in the PHASER section on the back of the instrument and the
output to the L OUT / MAIN R jacks in the DELAY section. The FX MODE switch must
be set in the MULTI position in order for all the sections to work together.
Note: in MULTI mode, all three INPUT knobs must be set above 0, if at least one of
the INPUT knobs is set to zero, there will be no sound at the COSMWAVE FX output!
However, You can turn the sections on and off for the combination of effects.

To use COSMWAVE FX in INDIVIDUAL mode, each of the effects need to be
connected in a standard way - the inputs and outputs in each section are connected
respectively to the signal source and mixer or amplifying device. The FX MODE
switch must be set in the INDIVIDUAL position in order for the sections to work
separately from each other.
②PHASER section.
Fully analog effect, therefore it has a permissible level of analog noise at the output.
Note: the noise level depends on the position of the adjustment controls.
The phaser consists of 8 stages and a low-frequency oscillator, which modulates all 8
stages by a triangular waveform (instead of LFO, you can use the MANUAL knob to
modulate the stages manually).
Phaser section has 5 controls:
INPUT - sets the input signal level;
MANUAL - allows you to manually adjust the tone (stages) of the effect;
RESONANCE - adjusts the saturation of the effect;
DEPTH - adjusts the depth of the phaser modulation;
RATE - adjusts the frequency of the phaser modulation.
There is a toggle switch to turn the unit on/off (bypass)
③DELAY section.
A hybrid effect with the path of the direct signal being analog while the delay line is a
digital microprocessor. The delay time can be adjusted from 0 to 2 sec with a
feedback time of over 1 minute.
Delay section has 4 regulators:
INPUT - sets the input signal level;
MIX - amount of effect applied to the direct signal;
FEEDBACK - adjusts the number of times a delayed signal is repeated;
DELAY TIME - adjusts the delay time of the signal.

The TAP button allows you to manually set the delay time.
The LED above the TAP button indicates the delay time.
ON / OFF button - to turn the unit on/off (bypass)
④FLANGER section.
Fully analog effect based on the BBD delay lines.
The flanger consists of a BBD delay line and a low-frequency oscillator (instead of an
LFO, you can use the MANUAL knob to modulate manually).
Flanger section has 5 controls:
INPUT - sets the input signal level;
MANUAL - allows you to manually adjust the tone of the effect;
RESONANCE - adjusts the saturation of the effect;
DEPTH - adjusts the depth of modulation of the flanger;
RATE - adjusts the frequency of the flanger modulation.
There is a toggle switch to turn the unit on/off (bypass)
⑤INPUT and OUTPUTS of PHASER.
⑥INPUT and OUTPUTS of FLANGER.
⑦INPUT and OUTPUTS of DELAY.
⑧POWER section.
⑨CV-control of the Manual function in PHASER and FLANGER.
