Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 Reverb Pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Oceans 12 is a stereo reverb pedal built for electric guitarists who need deep ambient textures in a single unit. It houses two independent reverb engines that run simultaneously, offering 24 preset slots for quick recall during performance. The pedal targets players who want studio-grade algorithms without a rackmount footprint.
Dual-engine stereo I/O and expression control
Advanced I/O supports stereo input and output as well as mono send/return with pre and post reverb routing options. Series and parallel control lets you blend the two engines exactly as the signal chain demands. An expression pedal jack and a three-button footswitch expand real-time control over parameters such as the Tide Control for stereo image alteration and the Lo-fi Control.
From single-algorithm pedals to 12 algorithm
The Oceans 12 replaces single-engine reverb stompboxes that only offer one algorithm at a time. Its twelve algorithm families — including Room, Spring, Plate, Reverse and Echo modes — cover vintage 1962 Fender 6G15 tube emulation and 1960s to 1970s studio plate sounds in one box. The jump is worth it when a setlist demands instant switching between vastly different spaces without tap-dancing across multiple pedals.

Questions about this item
How long can I run the Oceans 12 before the DSP hits its processing ceiling and starts dropping tails?
The dual stereo engines handle continuous operation without a stated DSP limit; the 24 presets and series or parallel routing are designed for uninterrupted live use.
Does the pedal stay quiet and cool when left on for a full rehearsal?
No fan is fitted, so thermal noise is absent; power draw is low enough that the enclosure remains only slightly warm during extended sessions.
What external gear must I already have to power and control the Oceans 12?
A 9 V DC centre-negative power supply and a standard 1/4" instrument cable are required; an expression pedal is optional for the external expression jack.
