3. Идоракунӣ ва Пайвастшавӣ

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

3.1 Тугмаҳои идоракунӣ

  • FX LVL: Controls the mix level of the reverb effect.
  • ВАҚТ: Adjusts the decay time or length of the reverb.
  • Оҳанг: Shapes the tonal character of the reverb.
  • РЕЖМ: 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, ВАҚТ, ё Оҳанг 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).

4.1 ЗАЛ

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

4.2 БАХОР

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 РАКАМИ

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 ЭХО

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)

9. Баррасии мушкилот

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

  • Овоз нест:

    • Verify the power supply is correctly connected and functioning.
    • Боварӣ ҳосил кунед, ки асбоби шумо ва 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.
  • Таъсир ҷолиб нест:
    • Press the footswitch firmly to ensure it engages. The LED should illuminate when the effect is active.
  • Садои номатлуб/ҳум:
    • Ensure you are using a high-quality, isolated power supply.
    • Кабелҳои вайроншударо тафтиш кунед.
    • Педалро аз дигар дастгоҳҳои электронӣ, ки боиси халалдор мешаванд, дур кунед.
