Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 Dual Stereo Reverb Pedal
A reverb processing powerhouse!
The EHX Oceans 12 is the Oceans 11’s big brother with even more reverbs and functionality. It features two simultaneous, independent, stereo reverb engines, series and parallel control for the dual reverbs, 24 presets and advanced I/O allowing for stereo in/out or mono send/return with pre and post reverb options. The pedal also includes a new Tide Control for stereo image alteration, a Lo-fi Control, an infinite attenuation control and an input jack for external expression and 3-button footswitch control.
A Tails switch provides a choice of whether the reverb effect fades out naturally or stops immediately when the pedal is switched to bypass. In most settings the pedal is also capable of producing infinite reverb which can be played over with a different reverb effect.
The Oceans 12’s reverbs are:
Room: two modes - reverb algorithms modeled after a lively room and a spacious performance hall
Spring: two modes - vintage 1962 Fender® 6G15 tube reverb emulation and the spring algorithm from the EHX Holy Grail
Plate: two modes - two emulations of the smooth, metal plate reverb often used in high-end recording studios during the 1960s and ‘70s
Reverse: two modes - a reverse reverb effect as well as true reversed echoes
Echo: three modes - a digital delay with various echo rhythms feeding into a plate reverb
Trem: three modes - a classic, periodic volume envelope with various shapes applied to both the wet and dry mix of a hall reverb
Mod: three modes - combinations of chorus and flange reverbs that create rich reverb tails
Dyna: three dynamic, experimental reverb algorithms - swell, gate and duck
Auto-Inf: three modes - auto-infinite reverb (w/optional chorus or flange) that “listens” to your playing and crossfades to a new reverb wash upon detection of newly struck notes
Shimmer: two modes - two configurations of a rich octave-shifted reverb wash
Polyphonic: two modes - two configurable bi-directional pitch shifts that add dimensionality to the reverb tail
Resonant: two modes - reverb excited by tunable resonators and configurable self-oscillating filters on the reverb tail

Product Features:
EXP Mode Button: When this button is lit, EXP MODE is enabled. When an external expression pedal or control voltage is connected, you can control any combination of knob parameters with your foot.
Moment Button: Enabling MOMENT changes the functions of the REVERB A and REVERB B footswitches to only allow the reverb effects while the footswitch is pressed down.
Tails Button: When TAILS is enabled, the reverb continues to play after its engine switches to bypass, with the decay time set by the TIME knob.
Function Button: Selects which set of parameters - primary or alternate - is controlled by the main knobs and the mini knobs.
FX LVL Knob: Wet/dry control that sets the balance between your dry signal and the reverb effects.
Predelay Knob: For all Reverb Types except ECHO, SHIMMER, and RESONANT, the PREDELAY knob sets the pre-delay time for the reverb block.
Time Knob: In all Reverb Types except REVERSE and DYNA, the TIME knob controls the decay time of the Oceans 12 reverb.
Tone Knob: In all Reverb Types, TONE controls the tone or EQ of the reverb signal. As this knob is turned clockwise, the sound of the reverb gets brighter. As you turn TONE counter-clockwise, the sound of the reverb gets darker.
Mode Button: Each Reverb Type on the Oceans 12 has either two or three unique modes of operation. Pressing the MODE button cycles through these available modes.
Select Button: Toggle between reverb engines.
Reverb Type Knob: Selects which Reverb Type is active.
Parameter Knobs: Functions change depending on the selected Reverb Type, mode, and status of the illuminated FUNCTION button.
Reverb A Footswitch: Controls Reverb A with Bypass, Tap, and Infinite controls.
Reverb B Footswitch: Controls Reverb B with Bypass, Tap, and Infinite controls.
R/Send: FX loop output.
L/Mono Out Jack: Output for a mono setup. In a stereo setup this is your left output.
Combo EXP/FSW Jack: Input jack accepts either an expression pedal or an external footswitch.
R/Return Input Jack: The right input jack in a stereo setup. This input can also be the RETURN signal if using SEND/RETURN mode.
L/Mono Input Jack: Either the mono audio input or the left stereo input.
