1. Вовед

This manual provides detailed instructions for the operation and maintenance of your Electro-Harmonix Oceans 11 Reverb Pedal. Please read this guide thoroughly to ensure proper usage and to fully explore the capabilities of this versatile effects unit.

2. Производот завршиview

The Electro-Harmonix Oceans 11 is a compact and feature-rich reverb pedal offering 11 distinct reverb styles. It provides extensive control over various parameters, including access to powerful hidden functions through its Secondary Knob Mode. The pedal is designed to produce a wide range of reverberation effects, from classic sounds to unique ambient textures, and includes a power supply for immediate use.

Главните карактеристики вклучуваат:

• Tails Switch: Selects whether the reverb fades out naturally or stops immediately upon bypass.
• Secondary Knob Mode: Provides access to additional parameters for fine-tuning each reverb algorithm.
• Infinite Reverb: Capable of generating sustained reverb washes that can be played over.
• Includes a dedicated power supply.

3. Контроли и врски

The Oceans 11 pedal features four primary control knobs, a mode button, a footswitch, and input/output jacks.

3.1 Контролни копчиња

• FX LVL: Controls the mix level of the reverb effect.
• ВРЕМЕ: Adjusts the decay time or length of the reverb.
• ТОН: Shapes the tonal character of the reverb.
• МОД: Selects between the 11 different reverb algorithms.

3.2 Mode Button and Secondary Knob Mode

Pressing the small РЕЖИМ button cycles through the 11 reverb types. Additionally, each reverb mode has hidden secondary parameters accessible by holding down the РЕЖИМ button and then turning the FX LVL, ВРЕМЕ, или ТОН knobs. The LED will change color to indicate Secondary Knob Mode is active.

3.3 Footswitch and Infinite Reverb

The footswitch engages or bypasses the effect. It also has a dual function for activating infinite reverb. Pressing and holding the footswitch in most settings will sustain the current reverb, allowing you to play over it.

3.4 Tails Switch

A small toggle switch on the pedal allows you to select between two bypass modes: Tails On (reverb decays naturally after bypass) or Tails Off (reverb cuts off immediately upon bypass).

3.5 Input/Output Jacks and Power Input

• ВЛЕЗ: 1/4-inch audio input jack for your instrument.
• ИЗЛЕЗ: 1/4-inch audio output jack to your ampлифирач или следна педала.
• INFINITE: External jack for connecting an optional footswitch to control the Infinite Reverb function.
• Влез за напојување од 9V: Connect the provided 9V DC power supply here.

4. Режими на реверберација

The Oceans 11 offers 11 distinct reverb algorithms. Each mode provides a unique sonic character and can be further customized using the secondary knob functions.

4.1 САЛА

Emulates the rich, reverberant sound of a large concert hall.

4.2 ПРОЛЕТ

A new algorithm that pays homage to the classic Fender 6G15 tube spring reverb, delivering authentic drip and boing. (See video demonstration at 5:16)

4.3 ПЛОЧА

Provides the lush, warm reverb sound originally created using large metal plates in recording studios. (See video demonstration at 0:55)

4.4 REVRS (Reverse)

Emulates the unique reverse reverb effect where a note's reverb fades in backwards. (See video demonstration at 2:33)

4.5 ЕХО

Sends a recirculating echo through the Plate reverb, creating crisp, clear delays smudged by airy plate reverb. (See video demonstration at 10:59)

4.6 TREM

Combines reverb with tremolo applied to both the wet and dry mix of a Hall reverb, offering three different tremolo shapes. (See video demonstration at 3:20)

4.7 МО

Modulated reverb with three modes: Chorus laced onto reverb tails, Flanger wrapped around reverb tails, or a combination of both. (See video demonstration for Chorus at 9:48 and Flange at 10:31)

4.8 DYNA (Dynamic)

Offers three dynamic reverb effects: Swell (silences attacks before blooming tails), Gate (reverb tail passes through a noise gate), and Duck (compresses reverb while playing, fades in when resting). (See video demonstration for Swell at 6:52 and Gate at 7:37)

4.9 AUTO-INF (Auto-Infinite)

Automatically triggers a reverb wash for each note or chord, crossfading to the new reverb when a new note is struck. (See video demonstration at 8:46)

4.10 SHIM (Shimmer)

Generates a rich octave-shifted reverb wash that modulates and blossoms behind your signal. (See video demonstration at 1:51)

4.11 POLY (Polyphonic)

Features two configurable bi-directional pitch shifts operating on your pre-reverb signal, allowing for disorienting soundtracks or creative harmonies. (See video demonstration for 12 String at 7:55 and Organ at 8:21)

5. Поставување

5.1 Поврзување за напојување

Connect the provided 9V DC power supply to the 9V power input jack on the side of the pedal. Ensure the power supply meets the pedal's requirements (9V DC, center-negative).

5.2 Аудио врски

1. Поврзете го вашиот инструмент (на пример, гитара) со ВЛЕЗ приклучок користејќи стандарден кабел за инструменти од 1/4 инчи.
2. Поврзете го ИЗЛЕЗ џек на вашиот amplifier or the input of the next pedal in your signal chain using another 1/4-inch instrument cable.

6. Упатства за работа

6.1 Selecting Reverb Modes

Притиснете го РЕЖИМ button repeatedly to cycle through the 11 reverb types. The LED will indicate the currently selected mode (refer to the pedal's graphic for mode labels).

6.2 Using Secondary Knob Mode

To access secondary parameters for a selected reverb mode, hold down the РЕЖИМ button. While holding, turn the FX LVL, ВРЕМЕ, или ТОН knobs to adjust their respective secondary functions. Release the РЕЖИМ button to return to primary knob control.

6.3 Activating Infinite Reverb

To activate infinite reverb, press and hold the footswitch. The reverb will sustain indefinitely. Release the footswitch to disengage infinite reverb. An optional external footswitch can be connected to the БЕСКОНЕЧНО jack for this function.

6.4 Tails Switch Functionality

Поставете го опашки switch to the desired position. In the 'On' position, reverb trails will naturally decay after the pedal is bypassed. In the 'Off' position, the reverb will cut off immediately when bypassed.

8. Одржување

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Oceans 11 pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the pedal clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Избегнувајте изложување на педалата на екстремни температури, влажност или директна сончева светлина.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components.
• Пред употреба, проверете дали сите кабли се безбедни.

9 Смена на проблеми

If you encounter issues with your Oceans 11 pedal, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Нема звук:
  • Check all cable connections (instrument to input, output to amp).
  • Проверете дали напојувањето е правилно поврзано и работи.
  • Осигурајте се дека вашиот инструмент и amplifier are working correctly by testing them without the pedal.
  • Check the FX LVL knob; if it's set to minimum, no effect sound will be heard.
• Ефектот не е привлечен:
  • Press the footswitch firmly to ensure it engages. The LED should illuminate when the effect is active.
• Несакан шум/зуење:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
  • Проверете за неисправни кабли.
  • Поместете ја педалата подалеку од други електронски уреди што можат да предизвикаат пречки.
• Reverb Cuts Off Abruptly:
  • Проверете ја положбата на опашки switch. If it's in the 'Off' position, the reverb will cut off when bypassed.
