The Oceans Abyss Advanced Reverb Laboratory Pedal from Electro-Harmonix is a truly immersive effects workstation centered around dual reverb engines, independently programmable with all-new full-stereo algorithms including hall, spring, and shimmer among others. Customizable signal paths and additional effects like delay, chorus, tremolo, and bitcrusher make this a unique and immersive audio processing tool.
Featuring a customizable signal path with up to eight effect blocks, the Oceans Abyss can be configured as individual reverb, modulation, EQ, delay, bitcrush, saturation, or volume effects, and all of these can be used in combination with each other to create an almost endless effects palette. The high-visibility OLED display allows for deep parameter editing with multiple graphical views and easy-to-read designs. Expression and CV control over nearly every parameter, fully-stereo I/O and an effects loop round out the main features of the unit. 128 programmable presets via onboard footswitching or MIDI make the user preset recall experience simple and quick. Interface with other equipment and DAWs via the MIDI in and out ports with support of PC, CC, and tempo clock. The unit can be connected to PC or Mac via USB-C.
