Mooer Ocean Machine

Make waves with this dual delay, reverb and looper

- Michael Astley-Brown

We live in a golden age of ambience effects, yet atmosphere junkie and visionary metalhead Devin Townsend wanted more and his collaboration with Mooer has produced the most comprehensive combined delay and reverb pedal on the market.

Let’s talk numbers: Ocean Machine packs two independent delays, a reverb and a looper. In all, you get 15 different delay types and nine different reverbs as well as 44 seconds of loop recording time. You get two basic modes of operation for the pedal’s trio of footswitches: ‘Play’, where each switch activates reverb, delay B and delay A respectively (pressing reverb and delay B together offers access to tap tempo); and ‘Patch’, which allows you to access presets of all three effects at once.
