Description

Edit description

Introducing the Electro-Harmonix Oceans 11, a compact reverb pedal that offers a wide range of sounds. With this pedal, enjoy the freedom to experiment with 11 different reverb types, ranging from the essential to the exotic. From the warm, full-bodied reverberation of a grand concert hall to the quirky reverse reverb effect popularized by Jimmy Page, it's all just a stomp away.

The Oceans 11 isn't just about presets. With its Secondary Knob Mode, you gain extended control over your sound, allowing you to adjust parameters like reverb dwell, tone, and mix to craft your perfect reverb sound. And for the experimental players out there, this pedal can generate infinite reverb washes that continue endlessly until a new reverb is triggered.

Make your reverb fade out naturally or stop abruptly with the internal Tails switch. And for those chasing the dreamy, ethereal sounds, you'll love the Shimmer effect, which generates a rich, modulated reverb tail an octave above your signal.

Key Features:

Provides 11 different reverb types including Hall, Spring, Plate, Reverse, Echo, Trem, Mod, Dyna, Auto-Inf, Shim, and Poly
Secondary Knob Mode for advanced control over reverb parameters
Tails switch for choosing between natural and abrupt reverb endings
Shimmer effect for producing shimmering, octave-shifted reverb washes
Ability to produce infinite reverb in most settings
Access to powerful "hidden" parameters for greater sound control
Comes with a standard EHX 9.6DC 200mA PSU
Compact and pedalboard-friendly design

Tons of reverbs

EHX delivers probably one of the best reverb pedals ever... a bit pricey maybe, but it offers 11 reverbs with secondary functions... it basically covers all your needs for reverb in a single pedal
