1. הקדמה

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. המוצר נגמרview

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.

תכונות מפתח כוללות:

• 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. בקרות וחיבורים

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

3.1 ידיות שליטה

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

3.2 Mode Button and Secondary Knob Mode

Pressing the small MODE button cycles through the 11 reverb types. Additionally, each reverb mode has hidden secondary parameters accessible by holding down the MODE button and then turning the FX LVL, זְמַן, או טוֹן 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

• קֶלֶט: 1/4-inch audio input jack for your instrument.
• תפוקה: 1/4-inch audio output jack to your ampמפחית או הדוושה הבאה.
• INFINITE: External jack for connecting an optional footswitch to control the Infinite Reverb function.
• קלט כוח 9V: Connect the provided 9V DC power supply here.

4. Reverb Modes

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.

אולם 4.1

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

4.2 אביב

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 פלטה

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 אקו

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 MOD

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)

5.1 חיבור מתח

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 חיבורי שמע

1. חברו את כלי הנגינה שלכם (למשל, גיטרה) ל קֶלֶט שקע באמצעות כבל מכשיר סטנדרטי בגודל 1/4 אינץ'.
2. חבר את תְפוּקָה ג'ק שלך amplifier or the input of the next pedal in your signal chain using another 1/4-inch instrument cable.
