## What is Cosmic Guitar?

Explore a whole new kind of guitar! The Cosmic Guitar plug-in is the world's first photonic musical instrument effect. Photonic instruments are an entirely new class of musical instruments that creates music using the resonance of high-frequency electricity and light in a metal instrument body, just like an acoustic instrument uses the resonance of sound waves in a wooden instrument. The use of new physics to create a guitar enables a whole new suite of musical sounds, from heavier distortions and more complex delays to richer tones. The electric guitar introduced us to feedback, the Cosmic Guitar introduces us to feed forward. Plug-in your electric guitar or any other music source to Cosmic Guitar and be the first to explore this new musical frontier! 

Features:
 - Models photonic guitar using physical measurements and physics to create a nearly infinite number of instrument tones and effects
 - Includes factory presets that highlight distortions inspired by the end of stars, demos available: https://cosmicstudio.io/sounds/
 - Customize guitar tones by selecting different values for the Cosmic Guitar, including the top plate, guitar body, and associated ‘strings’ 
 - Models both realistic and physically unachievable guitar configurations
 - Further customize tone by applying our unique twist on a flange/chorus/delay
 - Frequency spectrum window to display guitar model inputs and results
 - Supports user presets
 - Audio Plug-In v3 format, works in Logic, GarageBand, and other DAWs!

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2025-08-16*

Description is full of buzzwords and proofs that they don’t even understand the basic concepts. Oh yeah, guitar cables do not have 50 ohms impedance. It’s more like 20k ohms. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

**Developer response:** The photonic guitar inventor earned 3 US patents for his invention. A photonic guitar doesn’t use guitar cables but high frequency coaxial cables. The standard wave impedance is 50 Ohms for a coax cable with a modern SMA connector.

### 1/5 — $49.99 for just 12 months…

*2024-04-24*

What is this an amazon prime account or members mark contract?? Why so much for something you can do with a free eq or ridiculously more cheaper Auv3.

**Developer response:** Hey GushersCock10. The Cosmic Guitar is a unique plug-in that accurately models a new kind of musical instrument, the photonic guitar. The photonic guitar uses the resonance of electricity and light to create music and supports musical effects that no other plug-in has. We’ve included a free 7 day trial so that everyone can thoroughly explore the Cosmic Guitar software before subscribing.
