Know before you buy
The pedal features 11 distinct reverb algorithms, ranging from classic staples like Hall, Spring, and Plate to more experimental options like Shimmer, Poly, and Auto-Infinite.
Yes, there is an internal 'Tails' switch that allows you to toggle between natural decay, where the reverb continues after the pedal is bypassed, and an immediate cutoff.
The Secondary Knob Mode provides access to hidden parameters for each reverb type, allowing you to fine-tune specific settings like modulation depth or filter frequency that aren't available on the primary control knobs.
Yes, the Oceans 11 is designed with a compact stompbox form factor, measuring 2.75 by 4.5 inches, making it easy to integrate into most pedalboard setups.
The Oceans 11 requires an EHX 9.6DC 200mA power supply. It is recommended to use the included power adapter to ensure optimal performance and avoid noise issues.
The Auto-Infinite mode allows you to capture a reverb wash and hold it indefinitely, creating a sustained ambient pad that you can play over in real-time.
