Electro-Harmonix Pico Oceans 3-Verb
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Oceans 3-Verb is a compact multi function reverb offering three classic reverb types, Spring, Plate and Hall, in an ultra small enclosure. Controls for decay time, pre delay or spring length, and tone let it shape everything from short, splashy spring reverb to lush plate shimmer and big, spacious hall ambience. An infinite reverb function, achieved by maxing the Time control in Plate or Hall or by holding the footswitch, builds evolving ambient soundscapes. It suits players across surf, rock, ambient and indie who want quality spring, plate and hall reverbs plus infinite pads in a tiny, pedalboard friendly pedal.
