Hologram Electronics Dream Sequence

Hologram Electronics · pedal

The Hologram Electronics Dream Sequence is a rhythmic pitch-shifting and pattern-sequencer pedal for guitar, combining a fully customizable, tempo-syncable step sequencer with pitch-shift, delay, and modulation effects to build pulsating, synth-like rhythmic textures. Its Shape control can push a sequenced pattern from tight, percussive articulation to a blurred, euphoric wash, and knob movements for Drive, Tone, and Shape can be recorded and automated on the fly for evolving, motion-filled sequences. It is aimed at guitarists and electronic-leaning musicians wanting a dreamlike, spacey rhythmic effect that goes beyond conventional delay or pitch pedals. Reviewers call it one of the most inventive and feature-laden effects released in years, praising its tempo syncing and rhythm-pattern creation, though its MIDI implementation is described as occasionally unreliable and its depth can feel overwhelming to new users.
