Overview
The Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 is a versatile dual stereo reverb pedal that offers musicians an expansive array of reverb effects and configurations. Building upon the foundation of its predecessor, the Oceans 11, the Oceans 12 introduces two simultaneous, independent stereo reverb engines, allowing for intricate layering and textural exploration.
With 12 distinct reverb types—each featuring multiple modes—the pedal provides a comprehensive palette ranging from classic reverbs like Room, Spring, and Plate to more experimental sounds such as Shimmer, Polyphonic, and Resonant reverbs. Musicians can configure the dual reverbs in series or parallel, offering flexibility in crafting unique soundscapes.
Additional features include 24 presets for instant recall, advanced I/O options supporting stereo in/out or mono send/return with pre and post reverb selections, and controls like Tide for stereo image alteration and Lo-fi for diffusion reduction. The Oceans 12 also boasts tap tempo functionality for precise control over pre-delay and echo times, as well as an input jack for external expression and 3-button footswitch control, making it a powerful tool for both live performances and studio sessions.
