Electro-Harmonix Oceans Abyss Dual Stereo Reverb Pedal

Oceans Abyss

The Oceans Abyss expands on Electro-Harmonix’s award-winning reverb technology to deliver a truly immersive effects workstation. The pedal is centered around dual reverb engines that are independently programmable with full stereo algorithms including hall, spring, shimmer, and more. Place these reverbs into a customizable signal path with additional FX blocks like delay, chorus, tremolo, or bit crusher for a completely unique soundscape-building experience.

Electro-Harmonix has paved the way for powerful, accessible reverbs since the release of the original Holy Grail, and now we have pushed the envelope deeper with the fully equipped Oceans Abyss. Featuring a customizable signal path with up to eight effects blocks, the Oceans Abyss can be configured as individual reverb, modulation, EQ, delay, bit crusher, saturation, or volume effects, or as countless combinations for incredibly creative effect shaping. From a simple spring reverb to a lush stereo field featuring stereo hall and shimmer reverbs, chorus, delay, overdrive, and tremolo, you can go from surf to shoegaze instantly.

Deep parameter editing is accessible via the high-visibility OLED display with multiple graphical views and easy-to-read designs. Expression and CV control over nearly every parameter gives artful command of your effects and dynamics. Fully stereo I/O plus an FX loop allows for use with any instrument, recording setup, or live rig. 128 programmable presets via onboard footswitching or MIDI ensure perfect recall in all performance situations. MIDI in and out ports with MIDI in support of program change, control change, and tempo clock expand the already immense talents of the Oceans Abyss. Connect with USB-C to Windows or Mac for effects editing, preset management, and more with the free EHXport app (coming soon).
