ELECTRO HARMONIX Oceans Abyss Reverb

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Oceans Abyss Advanced Reverb Laboratory

Electro-Harmonix Oceans Abyss is the most powerful EHX reverb station ever created, expanding the capabilities of the legendary "Oceans" series to an entirely new level. At the heart of this device are two independent stereo reverb engines that can be combined with additional effects (Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, etc.) to create a signal chain of up to 8 blocks. This allows you to create everything from classic "Spring" reverb to cosmic "Shoegaze" soundscapes or complex ambient textures.

The pedal is controlled via a bright OLED screen and an intuitive menu system. Users can fully program the signal path, save up to 128 presets, and control parameters in real-time via MIDI or an Expression pedal. The "Infinite Sustain" function allows you to "freeze" the sound for an endless sustain with a single press of a footswitch.
