About COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful technology that’s used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical instruments and effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that make up the original sound—including its electrical and physical characteristics—and creates a digital model that accurately reproduces the original.

BASS Knob Adjusts the echo’s low-frequency range. The frequency response is flat when the knob is at the center position; turning the knob to the right (clockwise) boosts the low frequencies, while turning it to the left cuts the low frequencies.
