Description

Dive into a sea of sonic possibilities with the EarthQuaker Devices Sea Machine V3, a chorus pedal offering a unique blend of digital-analog hybrid technology. This pedal isn't just about adding chorus effects—it's about exploring uncharted waters of sound modulation. With its proprietary digital-analog hybrid circuitry, the Sea Machine V3 delivers everything from classic, lush chorus tones to experimental, wobbly detunes worthy of a sci-fi soundtrack.

The Sea Machine V3 stands out with its extensive control set, allowing musicians to craft their perfect sound. The Animate control, a standout feature, allows for precise pitch modulation, ranging from subtle detuning to vibrant pitch shifts. The Dimension control adds spatial depth, while the Intensity knob lets you blend wet and dry signals to your liking. The pedal also features a variable waveshape LFO, adjustable from a smooth triangle to a choppy square wave, offering a vast range of textural possibilities.

This pedal is designed with versatility in mind, capable of enhancing everything from guitars to bass and keyboards. It's especially adept at following fuzz, overdrive, or distortion pedals without getting muddy, thanks to its transparent buffer and all-analog dry signal path. Built in Akron, Ohio, each Sea Machine is crafted to the highest standards, ensuring that your tone remains as clear and vibrant as the day it was conceived.
