Electro-Harmonix Introduces Oceans Abyss Advanced Reverb Laboratory
Electro-Harmonix has introduced the Oceans Abyss Advanced Reverb Laboratory, a new hardware effect designed for immersive reverb effects.
The pedal is centered around dual reverb engines that are independently programmable with full-stereo algorithms including Hall, Spring, Shimmer and more. You can put these reverbs in a customizable signal path with additional FX blocks like Delay, Chorus, Tremolo, or Bit Crusher.
The Oceans Abyss can be configured as individual reverb, modulation, EQ, delay, bit crusher, saturation or volume effects, or as countless combinations.
Deep parameter editing is accessible via the high-visibility OLED display with multiple graphical views and easy-to-read designs. Expression/CV control is available4 over nearly every parameter. Fully-stereo I/O, plus an FX Loop, allows for use with any instrument, recording set up, or live rig.
128 programmable presets via onboard footswitching or MIDI ensure perfect recall in all performance situations. MIDI IN/OUT ports with MIDI IN support of PC, CC, and Tempo Clock expand the already immense talents of the Oceans Abyss.
