This Pedal is amazing.... I have had the Timeline & BigSky and like most people I only used about 20% of its power & settings..... so it was always like having over a $1000 just sitting on my board... so I sold both for $800 and bought this for $300 and it has everything needed! 2 Get Delays and an Amazing Reverb from bread and butter verbs to great ambients!!! As a worship player it is perfect!
I am surprised that you liked the ocean machine more than timeline and BigSky,really it means you didn't spend much time into discovering what they can offer,the sound quality of Strymon is second to none,this Mooer pedal is not close even a mm to Strymon.I have BigSky and soon I'm getting the a Timeline.These two are the perfect match and super quality sounding pedals if you know how to use them Ofcourse.But you already had everything what the Mooer cannot give you anymore,this new pedal to me is just hyped to much.
T.I.N Mateus I never said the OM offered more I said from a (Use to Value Standpoint) the OM is far superior.... if you have hours and hours to tweak go with TL & BS... if you want a similar sounding pedal, easy to dial in and you actually want to "Play" Guitar, go with OM! In the worship community all the greats have TL & BS and all say the same thing, they still only use a handful of sounds in a live setting.... that's what I'm saying'
Hands down the most exhaustive and explanatory video on pedals on the tube. Finally someone who can show without forcing his opinions on other people. Worth every second, thanks, man!
After the time and effort you've put into creating this demo I can't believe 12 people have given it the thumbs down. If these people spent more time trying to add something positive to the world instead of putting down people who do, we'd all be better off. Anyway, that aside, thanks for the demo it was really useful. I've just ordered the pedal and I'm looking forward to tinkering!
Kind of makes ya wonder what the 22 (now) down votes use? I have heard this side by side against even $2000 machines and it holds it's own against them!
Zillian Zilch .............You’re right. But some folk are just weird. It’s a great demo and a great product. I’ve just got mine and am blown away by it.
This unit is pretty inspiring... and like Devin says, if you just think of it as replacing a reverb and 2 delays, you're missing the point of what it can do. Watch Devin's demo of it, you can change the effect order and type *while they're repeating*. Throw a looper into the mix, and you can do absolutely ridiculous ambient textures with it. That's what it was made for.
Great review. I believe a lot of people are missing the point. Devin designed it so he could have HIS sound in one pedal to take along with him for practice or writing without the need for a lot of complex gear. I also believe he wanted it to be affordable for most people who couldn't afford a Fractal or Kemper system. When I first heard this, I thought it's great for those who want Devin's ambient type sounds, not for a gigging musician who needs basic delay and reverb for top 40. I have a EH Cathedral reverb and an Carbon Copy delay on my board and a Fractal AX8 in my studio. This pedal is perfect to just plug into an amp and go with most of my bases covered while getting a totally different 'flavor' than my other effects. Maybe I'm missing something here? And of course I'm paraphrasing Devin...Thanks again for this awesome review!!
I bought one the other day - I can’t stop playing with it! Knocked it out of the park Devin and Mooer 👍 Now, for those who want these boring run of the mills reverbs etc, yeah maybe stick to the same old gear. But for someone who uses effects to write, this is very awesome, I am playing and writing non stop.
I've had one for a few months now.. it constantly surprises and never ever disappoints. Dam thing is pure inspiration in a box. Can see how a cover artist might not enjoy it.. she's a bit over the top at times and not what I'd call generic (wich is what you want when emulating known classics) but for me.. it's a game changer.
45:03 ... you can detect the "drip" sound in the spring reverb before this but when that knob was turned up, you can really hear it. This sounds like a pretty good spring reverb even some surf guitarists might like.
Fave setting is a quarter note Tape Delay (A) and a dotted 8th Mod Delay (B) in parallel ...then Hall reverb with the tiniest bit of shimmer at the end. ugh! heavenly!
Really relaxing with a bit of drift! And Twilight Zone 50's style. Nice work with that machine. Don't know if I could do that. It takes a lot of talent and it takes the right machine too. Here it's both. Nice demo! Wow
Thank you so much...it’s definitely got a wow factor to it....one thing for sure, is this....the Ocean Machine is an instrument within its self. You must spend time with it, it’s not meant to be mastered in a day, week, month or even a year...but I want to be around when the right person figures out how to use it, play it, and becomes a master of it...that will really be something to witness...”ITS THAT TYPE OF MACHINE!” Only a few people will ever be willing to dedicate the time to this machine necessary to master it, and that will be worth the wait!
Ahhhhhh, so soothing. I feel like i'm drifting off on a cloud,. to a dreamy world. Who needs drugs. So inspiring. Just beautiful. Thank you for such a wonderful demo.
Awesome demo, this pedal is awesome. Thank you so much for not loading your video full of mindless opinionated BS talking like every other demo of anything guitar gear oriented. Thumbs up!
I bought this pedal for my electric Oud and use it with a 7 string guitar for ambient/dark wave sounds. So far I love the sound, though I am still sorting out programs that are not overkill. The sound is nice and the pedal is quite amazing overall. Though so far I am not keen on the warmth level for applying it to warmer ethnic string instruments like Oud. It is a little cold sounding to me. I also have a Big Sky which has a bit cold sound too but is heaven for synths. Looking at Neunaber Immerse to get a warmer reverb. On the delay side, this Mooer is a joy to use.
Anyone who views this but still doesn't fully understand what this thing is capable of should check out Brett Kingman's amazing YT demo. A tool is only as good as the person using it, and Brett is very good indeed with this tool.
To be fair, Devin uses two rack unit delays for his rig. I think he mentioned he uses this in his little guitar room on his Line6 practice amp. There's a great video of Devin TRYING to use this thing at a NAMM. He seriously had no idea what he was doing with it. Quite funny. This thing is more than enough for the mere mortal guitar player jam.
Nice video, much appreciated. I'm in the midst of choosing which delay / echo platform to get for my next project. I've looked at just about every type and brand that is out there, but I keep coming back to the Moore Ocean . . . I'm particularly interested in the dual delay design concept, which means, at least theoretically, these two completely separate delays can be combined in a vast range of effects patterning.
Thanks! It's a pretty full on pedal.. loads of variations in sound! try play it before you buy it if you can.. its always good to play around yourself :)
Just picked mine up and spent an hour with it, i really thought this would be the pedal that could do it all but i am not convinced. Dont get me wrong, the normal delays sound good but i couldn't really dial in a reverb sound i liked, everything just sound like your playing inside a metal shipping container. Comparing it with my Digitech Obscura there is a Tonal quality in the digitech that makes the sound pleasant and inspiring, i dont get that feeling at all with the OM. I put my Obscura back on the board and in an instant everything just sounded sweet, it doesn't have any bad settings with Lofi and tape settings and that delay alone is enough to put the OM back in the box now it is going back for a refund. Really liked your demo Ryan, your series of reverb demos are truly awesome :)
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it.. I've heard great things about the Obscura tho.. what reverb pedal are you using? Thanks man! glad you like the reverb videos :D
I am still looking for a new reverb, have gone trough the usual suspects but i think I'm just going with the polara and be done with it. i really wanted to try out Quiet theory prelude but i just can't wait anymore for new batches. a part of me is a sucker for big Delay/Reverb combos, if TC would adopt Neunaber mentality and make their triple delay open for a reverb toneprint i would be all over it.
just got one myself. I agree about the reverbs. to me they sound like the pre delay is repeating and making the verb sound tinny and you have no pre-delay parameter. if you are going for a gimmicky or ambient reverb this thing does that. If you want a straight ahead reverb sound try turning the tone way down and running the mix at 7-10 o'clock. I also wish they would have included a cathedral and stadium verb instead of the more gimmicky ones. the delays sound great though but once again some nice modulation delays like phaser, flange, chorus and univibe would have made this more useful to the mainstream gigging musician playing more straight ahead music. maybe they will do another model of this not dedicated to the idiosyncrasies of one artist although my hat is off to Devin he obviously poured a lot of attention into this and I thank him for that.
you are probably right, my assumption is that every pedal should have "plain vanilla" 12 o'clock setting that just sound good at first try. i was just after an everyday Delay/reverb in a cool form factor. After this i tested the RV-500 but that went back as well, amazing sounds but a pain to navigate. Spent more time on the floor pushing buttons than playing. maybe its just an excuse to buy more things ;)
I’ve been using this for a while. I have not fully explored this though. Functionalities and sound wise I’m very happy and the only frustration is that the text is above the top row of knobs and the knobs keep covering the txt unless you look down on it 90 degrees :((((
Why oh why are Strymon users coming in the comments section, dissing this pedal and bragging about the fact that they own those pedals? Why are they even watching this if, in their opinion, the Mooer is shit? Well, I think I know the answer to that. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a Big Sky or Timeline myself but I don't have £900 to spend on 2 pedals, and if I did have £900 to spend on gear, I could buy a good guitar or amp, maybe even both, and maybe still be able to get this Mooer as well 😆 I think that this pedal is great value for what you get for a little over £200. I have one and I must say that I was disappointed with the crystal, liquid, and galaxy delays, they could have made them better, as with the shimmer effect on the reverb, and if they were better then this would knock spots off the Strymon.......but at the end of the day there are still at least 10-15 well useable delays, along with most of the reverbs. Plus all of the excellent features such as customisable effect chain, ping pong, reverb freeze, looper with reverse & half speed options, midi, plenty of good useable presets, so yeh, I think it's great for what it is.
@Andrew London- No probs mate, I had forgotten about this comment. The Big Sky keeps its price pretty well so I'm sure that you'd have got most of your money back on it. All of those Strymon freaks are busy queuing up for the Night Sky now 😆 I still use my Mooer to this day, plus my HX Stomp, which has tons of delays & reverbs on it, and is a much more worthwhile purchase than a 5 or 6 hundred quid Strymon reverb pedal 👍
Great video! It seems from things I've read that the delays on this are generally better quality than the reverbs. Do you agree? If so might it be worth getting a separate reverb pedal? Thanks!
Nooooo I wouldn’t! The Reverbs on the Ocean Machine are more than “just fine” or “good” there very good.... are there better reverbs? I’m sure there are, but really...who in any audience would know the difference between a really good reverb or a best in the year 2021 reverb? You see what I mean?
I’m wondering if you’ll be doing another more in depth demo of the presets; recording and replay of presets you’ve created; the looper; altering the chains and blocks, etc. I’ve read a lot of info, but it’s all Greek to me because I’m a major klutz with advanced fx like this. Thanks for this one and here’s hoping for more demos👍
I am planning on doing more videos as part of my "how to" series :) i'll try get to it asap! let me know exactly what you wanna see and ill be sure to include it when I film them! thanks man!
Ryan Lutton: Thanks Ryan! I’d like info beyond the 2 delays n Reverb. IE the menu n settings info...I’m beginning to get that down but the looper n dub is confusing. I can get the looper going and record, then play it back but getting the timing down is very tricky. Then turning it off with the STOP button does nothing. It just adds more duds and effects. So...how to turn off the record n dubs and then delete. I can’t find that in the vague instructions. I have to pull the power plug to stop everything from playing. A power switch would help. It must be easier than this but I get frustrated and just turn it off. Thank you, sir👍
The reverb on this is ok but In my humble opinion not quite as good as The Hall of Fame 2 by TC Electronics which I dearly like a lot. However this one has all of the delays and repeats that the Hall of Fame 2 does not have so if you had to buy just one I would buy this one. I also like tremolo a whole lot but this one has progamable Delays that are I believe just as good as a tremolo and I think maybe even a little bit better so I think this is a pretty good deal for all that it has to offer. And I am going to buy one. However I will never give away my Hall of Fame 2 because of it’s reverb which is so rich and luscious and warm and wonderful. And if I am only using reverb I will be using the Hall of Fame 2, but if I want to add some extra efects I could use this mooer thing. The way I use tremolo is so little that you can barely tell it’s there and most people don’t even know the tremolo is on but by adding just a very little bit people begin to say why does that guitar sound so beautiful. I believe this machine can add that same affect and I believe even better if I add just a little bit of this wonderful sounding Mooer delay to the guitar sound without turning it way up and over powering everything. However if you are looking for the ultimate tape delay this is not it. You would have to go and get the T-Rex Replicator Analog Tape Delay Pedal. But you may have to take out a loan at the bank to get it. So if you are not looking to get a bank loan to buy a T Rex then this is the second best choice for real luschous tape delay. However even after saying such a good thing about TRex, TRex still does not have all that the Mooer machine has to offer. So in the long run I really don’t think you can go wrong by buying this multi talented machine. And I am certainly going to buy one. And finally Kudo’s To the person who made this video because they did an excellent job.
Dist-verb is the only one that really caught my attention. Does anybody know any other pedal that has a similar effect? I already checked Keeley Gold Star but it's not what I'm really after.
this is the first reverb pedal I've come across with a distorted setting to the best of my memory.. but there is a Biyang reverb I demoed that distorted if the decay was high and that was quite cool :) those are fairly cheap too!
Besides the convenience of this all-in-one box, what do you guys think about the quality of sound especially the reverb? It can't be a comparison to Blue Sky or Wet but is it really good enough to replace the affordable reverbs like HOF or RV7 hardwire? The basic hall, plate and spring reverbs are better than the above mentioned pedals? I have a HOF now and thinking of buying this one but not really sure about how it would really sound. Thanks for your advice in advance.
You can also use it like you would use any other reverb and delay pedals. + it's like 3 pedals in one. I see it as a powerful versatile effects pedal for many scenarios. Not just ambient or "spa" ;)
U2WB think the ambience is awesome but you could absolutely buy this and use it as your main delay and verb. Kinda cool in a way that you can get standard delays and verbs as well as all this crazy stuff in there
i mean those are such a specific sound. I'm sure if you just spent more time tweaking them they'd sound good. i do agree with you though, but i think the rest of the sounds besides those are awesome.
Actually these effects can be very useful for those looking for very experimental sounds, or those who may even run more than guitars through this pedal (such as synths etc.), especially if you're reamping through this pedal and manipulating the parameters.
Great Sounds…there’s no specific way that you have to use this pedal…it’s has the capability of many different uses I purchased one to use and make ambient creations
How does this hold up in Sept 2020 with all these new reverb / delays coming out? Can it hang with the big dogs or does it not have that "wow" factor those expensive reverbs have?
can it have a common tap tempo for the two delay engines when you wanna use both at the same time? Or you have to tap them separately until your tapping is almost in identical bpm between the taps? I was considering new Flashback and because of this limitation, I didn't buy.

This Pedal is amazing.... I have had the Timeline & BigSky and like most people I only used about 20% of its power & settings..... so it was always like having over a $1000 just sitting on my board... so I sold both for $800 and bought this for $300 and it has everything needed! 2 Get Delays and an Amazing Reverb from bread and butter verbs to great ambients!!! As a worship player it is perfect!
Glad you're enjoying it :) I'm gunna do a comparison to the strymon stuff in a future video :D
no doubt! I'll be watching! what's your overall thoughts on the pedal'
Where did you buy it from? I've been looking online but can't find anywhere that sells it just reviews.
I am surprised that you liked the ocean machine more than timeline and BigSky,really it means you didn't spend much time into discovering what they can offer,the sound quality of Strymon is second to none,this Mooer pedal is not close even a mm to Strymon.I have BigSky and soon I'm getting the a Timeline.These two are the perfect match and super quality sounding pedals if you know how to use them Ofcourse.But you already had everything what the Mooer cannot give you anymore,this new pedal to me is just hyped to much.
T.I.N Mateus I never said the OM offered more I said from a (Use to Value Standpoint) the OM is far superior.... if you have hours and hours to tweak go with TL & BS... if you want a similar sounding pedal, easy to dial in and you actually want to "Play" Guitar, go with OM! In the worship community all the greats have TL & BS and all say the same thing, they still only use a handful of sounds in a live setting.... that's what I'm saying'
Hands down the most exhaustive and explanatory video on pedals on the tube.

Employees of Strymon :-)
Great review, does it have ice delay.?
Cheers
Kind of makes ya wonder what the 22 (now) down votes use? I have heard this side by side against even $2000 machines and it holds it's own against them!
@Club Soda No the saggy pants kids cussing along to the drum machine and the brain dead stripper whores..

Agreed, I need to delve into it again I think
I know this vid is 5 years old now, but this is still the most in depth review of this pedal and it still just touches the surface. great review BTW!.
Thanks :) I wanna do some updated videos, maybe messing around with sounds and settings I love
Great review. I believe a lot of people are missing the point.

I almost fell asleep the first song is wonderful,,,,,,,,,,I melted into a very cool place.
Almost an hour? No talking? Aaah 😌
Thank you!
Anyone who views this but still doesn't fully understand what this thing is capable of should check out Brett Kingman's amazing YT demo. A tool is only as good as the person using it, and Brett is very good indeed with this tool.
I also predict that Movie Producers will be using this pedal for the amazing sounds it can produce!
Doble delay , reverb , looper , plus MIDI for only $299 ....... Wooo sooo good...
Ooo exelent video thanks... I'll buy today.
you're welcome :)
por fiiinn un buen review sin charlataneria solo mostrar los efectos del pedal buenisimo
Incredible Demo - I bought it instantly after watching
Beautiful opening demo. That sold me right there!
Its a great machine, i have this now like 2 month and i can say, its awssame!
if its good enough for devin townsend , i guess its good enough for the most people :)
To be fair, Devin uses two rack unit delays for his rig. I think he mentioned he uses this in his little guitar room on his Line6 practice amp. There's a great video of Devin TRYING to use this thing at a NAMM. He seriously had no idea what he was doing with it. Quite funny.

Thank you for the demo. I am buying one tomorrow.
hope you enjoy it! let me know what you think
I did too!
So many beautiful sounds from this amazing pedal but the Reverb "Hall" at 35:50 really jumped out to me. Awesome video thanks!
Nice video, much appreciated. I'm in the midst of choosing which delay / echo platform to get for my next project. I've looked at just about every type and brand that is out there, but I keep coming back to the Moore Ocean . . .

Charles Ostman dude - get one. It’s more awesome than I ever imagined!
Thanks for this great play-through ... great demonstration.
Oh my god, I need this pedal.
Il demo più chiaro e ben fatto di questa macchina. Ottimo.
This video made me order the pedal, Thank you. And your playing is amazing dude 🤘
I need tabs for First part. It's awesome
Great demo, for $300 this pedal brings a lot with it.Noyce!
At 43:11, got my attention.
Great Video! Does the Ocean Machine has a true stereo input? Please test it with a Ping Pong Delay in front of the OM!
Rolf Dinter it is stereo, and I heard on another demo talk of how it could be ping ponged etc, but you’d have to check all that.
Love that sound at 36:07. Thnx
Thank you Ryan for putting this together.
Thanks ! amazing and complete machine , good price !
Love your demo’s. Keep up the good work.
Just picked mine up and spent an hour with it, i really thought this would be the pedal that could do it all but i am not convinced.

Relaxing,soothing,ear candy,
Great demo video.
Love the ambiance and crazy delay time changes. Is this suitable for synths ?
Yes it is! I just got mine and it's just insane with my volca FM! It could be sweet, metalic or powerful fuzzy! I love it!
I would say...the skies the limit!
Beautiful!
I’ve been using this for a while. I have not fully explored this though. Functionalities and sound wise I’m very happy and the only frustration is that the text is above the top row of knobs and the knobs keep covering the txt unless you look down on it 90 degrees :((((
Can’t remember where I heard it but isn’t the first preset considered the “dev” preset? Like it’s supposed to be his sound? Can anyone confirm that?
Allen Slager I heard it’s around the 7C preset.. and it seems like it might be.. hard to tell but it surely mentions somewhere hey
Wow, amazing. I'll buy it
Nice pedal! Didn't realize Mooer made a pedal like this. Love the tunes you were making. Will you make an album with this?
Thanks man :) I'm working on one at the moment :D
Great! Will be keeping my eyes peeled :)
Why oh why are Strymon users coming in the comments section, dissing this pedal and bragging about the fact that they own those pedals? Why are they even watching this if, in their opinion, the Mooer is shit? Well, I think I know the answer to that.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a Big Sky or Timeline myself but I don't have £900 to spend on 2 pedals, and if I did have £900 to spend on gear, I could buy a good guitar or amp, maybe even both, and maybe still be able to get this Mooer as well 😆
I think that this pedal is great value for what you get for a little over £200. I have one and I must say that I was disappointed with the crystal, liquid, and galaxy delays, they could have made them better, as with the shimmer effect on the reverb, and if they were better then this would knock spots off the Strymon.......but at the end of the day there are still at least 10-15 well useable delays, along with most of the reverbs.

@Andrew London- No probs mate, I had forgotten about this comment. The Big Sky keeps its price pretty well so I'm sure that you'd have got most of your money back on it. All of those Strymon freaks are busy queuing up for the Night Sky now 😆
I still use my Mooer to this day, plus my HX Stomp, which has tons of delays & reverbs on it, and is a much more worthwhile purchase than a 5 or 6 hundred quid Strymon reverb pedal 👍
man thanks so much for the demo
I wonder if I could replicate this on the Mooer GE300.
Great demo - thanks.
Great job !!! Many thanks.
great video, man! My question is about his durability. Has anyone here had one of these for over a year? Any flaws to report?
@Wesley Evaristo I’ve had it for 2 years and everything’s fine.
AMAZING DEMO
I like this. How about putting it with a synthesizer. It would be nice to see how it works with a synth. L over what I have seen so far
sure thing :) i'll try get round to that asap
Amazing melodi 😻
Great video! It seems from things I've read that the delays on this are generally better quality than the reverbs. Do you agree? If so might it be worth getting a separate reverb pedal? Thanks!
Nooooo I wouldn’t! The Reverbs on the Ocean Machine are more than “just fine” or “good” there very good.... are there better reverbs? I’m sure there are, but really...who in any audience would know the difference between a really good reverb or a best in the year 2021 reverb? You see what I mean?
If only it would receive MIDI clock ! I love the sound of this pedal but I need to sync it was my synths etc for live playing
PS Great demo btw !!!
Great review
I’m wondering if you’ll be doing another more in depth demo of the presets; recording and replay of presets you’ve created; the looper; altering the chains and blocks, etc. I’ve read a lot of info, but it’s all Greek to me because I’m a major klutz with advanced fx like this. Thanks for this one and here’s hoping for more demos👍
I am planning on doing more videos as part of my "how to" series :) i'll try get to it asap! let me know exactly what you wanna see and ill be sure to include it when I film them! thanks man!
Ryan Lutton: Thanks Ryan! I’d like info beyond the 2 delays n Reverb. IE the menu n settings info...I’m beginning to get that down but the looper n dub is confusing. I can get the looper going and record, then play it back but getting the timing down is very tricky.
Then turning it off with the STOP button does nothing. It just adds more duds and effects.
So...how to turn off the record n dubs and then delete. I can’t find that in the vague instructions. I have to pull the power plug to stop everything from playing.
A power switch would help. It must be easier than this but I get frustrated and just turn it off. Thank you, sir👍
what about that phrase :its all greek to me????if u only knew that you can understand very well greek but u dont know it yet :)
The reverb on this is ok but In my humble opinion not quite as good as The Hall of Fame 2 by TC Electronics which I dearly like a lot. However this one has all of the delays and repeats that the Hall of Fame 2 does not have so if you had to buy just one I would buy this one. I also like tremolo a whole lot but this one has progamable Delays that are I believe just as good as a tremolo and I think maybe even a little bit better so I think this is a pretty good deal for all that it has to offer. And I am going to buy one. However I will never give away my Hall of Fame 2 because of it’s reverb which is so rich and luscious and warm and wonderful. And if I am only using reverb I will be using the Hall of Fame 2, but if I want to add some extra efects I could use this mooer thing. The way I use tremolo is so little that you can barely tell it’s there and most people don’t even know the tremolo is on but by adding just a very little bit people begin to say why does that guitar sound so beautiful. I believe this machine can add that same affect and I believe even better if I add just a little bit of this wonderful sounding Mooer delay to the guitar sound without turning it way up and over powering everything. However if you are looking for the ultimate tape delay this is not it. You would have to go and get the T-Rex Replicator Analog Tape Delay Pedal. But you may have to take out a loan at the bank to get it. So if you are not looking to get a bank loan to buy a T Rex then this is the second best choice for real luschous tape delay. However even after saying such a good thing about TRex, TRex still does not have all that the Mooer machine has to offer. So in the long run I really don’t think you can go wrong by buying this multi talented machine. And I am certainly going to buy one.
And finally Kudo’s To the person who made this video because they did an excellent job.
Shoegaze approved 👌
Dist-verb is the only one that really caught my attention. Does anybody know any other pedal that has a similar effect? I already checked Keeley Gold Star but it's not what I'm really after.
this is the first reverb pedal I've come across with a distorted setting to the best of my memory.. but there is a Biyang reverb I demoed that distorted if the decay was high and that was quite cool :) those are fairly cheap too!
Ryan Lutton. ...best delays/echoes tester....:)
Thanks :D
Does this have subdivision settings and an external tap feature? This thing sounds dang good. That intro was so smooth.
Besides the convenience of this all-in-one box, what do you guys think about the quality of sound especially the reverb?
It can't be a comparison to Blue Sky or Wet but is it really good enough to replace the affordable reverbs like HOF or RV7 hardwire?
The basic hall, plate and spring reverbs are better than the above mentioned pedals? I have a HOF now and thinking of buying this one but not really sure about how it would really sound.
Thanks for your advice in advance.
What is the Maximum delay milisecond in ocean machine Please Tell me!
Freeze function? Maybe I missed it.
Jeremy Dinieri it’s got something like that - maybe the looper is doing it. I got one and can’t praise it enough
All three can freeze by pressing and holding their footswitch.
It sounds beautiful but I feel there’s only so much use for an ambience processor like this. Great for making spa music, though.
You can also use it like you would use any other reverb and delay pedals. + it's like 3 pedals in one.
I see it as a powerful versatile effects pedal for many scenarios. Not just ambient or "spa" ;)
U2WB think the ambience is awesome but you could absolutely buy this and use it as your main delay and verb. Kinda cool in a way that you can get standard delays and verbs as well as all this crazy stuff in there
Welcome to Ambient Madness. . . muah ha ha ha,
Mate. That intro 😌
Love this pedal :D its currently the final pedal on my board
@@RyanLutton yes I will be investing !
The rainbow and crystal delays are pretty disappointing :( some sounds are awesome though
Yea pretty much my take on it, I didn't care for most of the reverbs either :\ but other than those two delay types the rest sounded pretty great!
Timeline.
i mean those are such a specific sound. I'm sure if you just spent more time tweaking them they'd sound good. i do agree with you though, but i think the rest of the sounds besides those are awesome.
Actually these effects can be very useful for those looking for very experimental sounds, or those who may even run more than guitars through this pedal (such as synths etc.), especially if you're reamping through this pedal and manipulating the parameters.
What is the maximum delay time in ocean machine ?
2 seconds
This is Best Ambient Pedal Ever !
Thanks brother!
Does ir works on bass?
Great Sounds…there’s no specific way that you have to use this pedal…it’s has the capability of many different uses I purchased one to use and make ambient creations
The only thing with this pedal is that you cant find it in the US for some reason. Is this released yet?
Just emailed Mooer.. their North American distributor is Osiamo :) you can get the ocean machine here www.osiamo.com/Mooer-Ocean-Machine
thanks
The spring reverb is not springy enough. But who wants spring reverb from ambient pedal? Me.
Does this have a Dotted 8th delay setting?
Hi! Does it have a dotted 8th? Thanks
Yes
Sounds amazing but the echorec setting is way off
Or maybe its just right.
Onde está o shimmer?
@36:25
Will this guy handle a super low tuned bass?
Great demo! I must have...
How does this hold up in Sept 2020 with all these new reverb / delays coming out? Can it hang with the big dogs or does it not have that "wow" factor those expensive reverbs have?
might have to crack it out and take a look :)
@@RyanLutton cool!
Great video man, I’m ordering one later today lol. I think I’m going to need a bigger board.
I was going to buy avalanche run but this is at half the price of it here lol . I think i will get Ocean instead :)
33 people wanted Midi clocked delay speed.
If only it wasn't so big cant fit on my medium sized board :(
can it have a common tap tempo for the two delay engines when you wanna use both at the same time? Or you have to tap them separately until your tapping is almost in identical bpm between the taps? I was considering new Flashback and because of this limitation, I didn't buy.
You can tap each delay separately with their respective footswitch, or tap both at once with the reverb switch when in tap mode.
Delay a tape - liquid
Aren't the A and B Delays exactly the same?
drockny a couple of the basics similar, then more different ones, I believe
Great vid! Can I ask how your setup is when you’re recording a stereo effect pedal?
Fucking amazing review!!!
pedal muito bom
Great, great Sound! Somebody tried it with Synths??
Oh yeah, check out the mooer ocean machine tag on Instagram. People do incredible things with this
