ELECTRO HARMONIX Oceans-11 Reverb

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Oceans 11 Reverb

Electro-Harmonix Oceans 11 is a powerful digital reverb processor, offering studio-quality sound and incredible flexibility. At its heart are 11 meticulously crafted algorithms, covering everything from the vintage echo of a 60s Fender amp to modern, atmospheric textures.

Despite its simple controls, the pedal hides deep editing capabilities. The Mode button allows you to select up to 3 variations for each reverb type, while the "Secondary Knob Mode" function provides access to hidden parameters, allowing you to precisely shape the character of each effect. The unique Infinite function (activated by holding the footswitch or connecting an external pedal) allows you to "freeze" the reverb tail and play over it, creating an endless background layer.

11 Reverb Types

1. HALL: The acoustics of a large concert hall.
2. SPRING: Emulation of the classic "Fender 6G15" tube spring reverb.
3. PLATE: Warm and rich studio plate reverb.
4. REVRS: Reverse Reverb, popularized by Jimmy Page.
5. ECHO: Digital delay, transitioning into plate reverb.
6. TREM: Reverb effect with tremolo modulation (selectable waveform).
7. MOD: Modulated reverb, enhanced with *chorus* or *flanger* effects.
8. DYNA: Dynamic effects: "Swell" (sound appears slowly), "Gate" (suddenly mutes), and "Duck" (mutes when playing).
9. AUTO-INF: Automatic "Infinite" mode, creating an endless background for each new note.
10. SHIM: "Shimmer" effect, adding an octave above in the reverb tail (for an atmospheric sound).
11. POLY: Polyphonic reverb with two-direction pitch-shift.
