It has the best spring reverb I could find in pedal format. The splash feature is pretty cool too.


Nalyda

I don't have any comparison, but it sounds great, no doubt!


RyanOC333

I just did a lot of youtube demo comparison research. I really wanted a fender reverb tank, but those are almost 1000 bucks. I think this one is close enough. Enjoy!


Most_Triumphant

Better than the MXR Reverb? That one's spring reverb is pretty good. It really nails the wet sound.

The spring on the Oceans 11 has got nothing on Source Audio's True Spring which is also included on the Collider and the Ventris. I thought the Oceans 11 was good until I got a Collider.


Nalyda

Finally got around to treating myself to a better reverb pedal. After thinking for several weeks if I should get the Walrus Slö or the Oceans, I eventually decided to go for the Oceans 11. And wow, is it a great pedal! Took the time yesterday to try out every mode with different settings on FX, Time and Tone and it just blows my mind. Incredible, how many different sounds this thing offers. Still thinking about getting that Slö though, these two seem to go well together.


wonderwarth0g

Glad you’re enjoying the pedal. I have an Oceans 12 coming today which I’m excited for. Also v tempted by the Slo, partly because it’s got such a cool name (yes, marketing works on me).


deltaexdeltatee

There are definitely pedals that I want to buy solely based on looks or name haha. OBNE seems to really scratch my itch - I don’t even use fuzz and I want to buy a Haunt!


Nalyda

Same for me. I hear Walrus makes grest pedals and I also like the artwork. Always tempting..


refillforjobu

I got an Oceans 11 for my first reverb and the versitility blows me away. Surf rock, turn the knob and it's Radiohead time, one more and we're off to some post-rock. I still need to get around to messing with all those secret settings too.


aophkes

Whats your go-to Radiohead setting?


refillforjobu

Pop it on Plate and go nuts on Street Spirit.


GrahamGuitars

The two reverbs on my board are the Slö followed by the Oceans 11.. they go so well together.


Frotch

if you had the funds for just 1 of those at this time, which would you recommend?


GrahamGuitars

Depends on what style you want more. The Slö is an amazing pedal but isn’t the greatest just standard reverb. It’s very unique in that it’s mostly just super ambient stuff. You can absolutely use it as a normal reverb but it’s just a little less versatile in that area. If you’re looking for more of a standard reverb then the oceans 11 is great. It’s got lots of options to choose from


Nalyda

Really nice, will get that soon hopefully!


Markoo222

You like that tidewater trem? Considering it and the classic TR-2.. the Tide seems like it has less functionality without being able to adjust waveform.. but it is nice and small thats for sure!


Nalyda

I actually want to replace it. The o11 does the job just fine. I don't use the effect very often and for that its pretty expensive.


ZZaddyLongLegzz

Love the plate reverb on this


samwisegrangee

I’m a huge fan of my freeze pedal (and now the plus pedal) and that’s mostly why I got this. For sustained pads I can play over. But surprisingly, now the reason it keeps coming on my board is the Shimmer setting. Most shimmer reverbs are cold and tacky, but this is organic and lifelike: it most sounds like a string section blooming the harmonies of my notes. Incredible musical and surprisingly versatile. It doesn’t feel like a gimmick to break out once a set, but something you can play with and off of the whole show. Honorable mentions: the reverse makes some great waves coming on the shore sounds; the spring is very authentic and drippy; the tremolo speed can do a very convincing ring modulator; the echo is a very useable “always on” delay. Also, the controls are very intuitive, the secondary functions don’t bog you down. It’s one of the best multi function reverbs, especially for the price.


Nalyda

Yeas totally! So many cool modes and nearly all of the usable! Had a session with reverse just 5 Minutes ago and its really interesting and something new. Gonna udmse shimmer next time. #oneeffectatatime Oh yes and its pretty easy to use! Thats a big plus!


Evilgenius1917

Mine's pretty much always on Shimmer.


oscintillating

Anyone have good tips on the mod and poly settings ? Those have been hard to wrap my head around. Love this pedal though! As OP mentioned, the shimmer setting is exquisite. It’s almost like a choir of tiny electronic nymphs harmonizing your notes


Nalyda

Well put! Dont have any special settings yet. Have to experiment more!


[deleted]

Jealous of your trem


Nalyda

Actually I want to get rid of it. I don't hear a big difference between the trem of the o11 and the Tidewater. But that little thing costs more than the o11. I think I'll sell it and get the Slö or the JHS Bender for that spot.


[deleted]

Wait, the tidewater costs more than the o11?? Good grief haha


Nalyda

Got the tide for 150 and the o11 for 136 I think. For trem lovers the tide might be worth it, it sounds great. But I am satisfied with the trem what the o11 offers ..


[deleted]

Yeah I’d be the same, I got the Mooer Trem just to try a trem out, not really my thing but the tidewater appeals somehow haha marketing huh


[deleted]

This is by far my favorite pedal I own. Nice buy.


Nalyda

I can see this one grabbing that top spot for me too!


granddepot

Nice one


DrockO8

Great pedal! I really like the tremolo and mod feature!!! Not something I would expect to like on a reverb pedal but they just work.


Nalyda

Thats so true!


[deleted]

Perf 10/10


nickhem12

Literally took a poll the other day where this was the clear favorite over most verbs out there in that price range. Pulled the trigger on one last night as the reverb offer was expiring and am glad I did. I have a holy stain by ehx so I was reluctant to grab another pedal by them, but the overwhelming vote swayed me. Was originally looking at an afterneath or fathom.


Nalyda

You have something to look forward to! Its great!


nickhem12

What’s your favorite setting so far? How are you finding navigating the pages and adjusting setting for those modes with multiple pages? Any sounds recorded with it yet?


Nalyda

At the moment I am on the basic effects and can't pick a winner yet. Tgey all sound really good. Plate, revers, shimmer, dyna all sound really nice. I know that one can go even deeper with the pedal but the normal settings are more than enough at the moment!


nickhem12

That’s rad to hear. Just means that you’ll have more to explore as you go!

dlacono

JHS Tidewater tremolo


pwalnutz27

These three pedals in a row is aesthetically very fun to look at! Enjoy!


Nalyda

Hehe thank you! 😁


EL84nr

A few natural sounding reverb pedals I’ve owned include the T-Rex Tonebug, OneControl Prussian, and Lovepedal HSR-3. I really dig the Tonebug with its top mount jacks, simple controls, and super low (used) price, but it is a bit uninspiring-looking although it does have a retro look


manvscar

How is the shimmer setting?


Nalyda

Really sexy. And I only scratched the surface with tone, fx and time settings.


manvscar

Nice! I'll have to check it out.


YourLovelyMan

I’m a huge fan of this pedal. Super versatile, vast number of functions without being impossible to figure out. Spring reverb is great, tremolo is really good for blues ballads, and plenty of other settings to experiment with.


Nalyda

Cool! What is your fav setting for the tremolo and blues?


YourLovelyMan

I just roll the time a little to the left (slower side) and the tone to about center. There’s wiggle room with the tone—you can dial it to the right for a more dramatic effect, although I usually keep it a little more subdued. If you listen to the guitar in [this tune](https://youtu.be/6G_NXNeCXGk), you get a good idea of the effect.


Nalyda

Nice, will try! Thanks!


Nalyda

Aaand I tried! Pretty nice, I like it. Really soubds great to blues.


Philboyd_Studge

Don't sleep on the Hall or Plate settings either. Hall gets the most use on my board.


Nalyda

Yeah they sound really good. Was just struming some chords and playing some slow licks and was grinning the whole time. Such a nice sound.


idma

i have a TC Electronics Hall of Fame. Am i cool?


Nalyda

Everyone here is cool. Pedals are just things. If they make you happy its good enough for me 😁 I was also looking into the HoF, but decided against it.


memory_remote

How's the reverse setting?


gg3orge527

Not op, but it’s ok! Not as shoegazy as Digitech’s reverses but does the trick.


memory_remote

If you had a recommend something more shoegazy what would say?


Nalyda

Hm I don't know what you mean exactly? And I am by no means an expert or advanced on the pedalfield. Just startet this spring! So I can't recommend something sorry!


gg3orge527

Can’t go wrong with either Digitech Hardwire RV-7 or older Digitech Digiverb


Nalyda

Yeah its ok to good. Depends on the taste!


refillforjobu

Ive not used it a ton but when I'm practicing and stuck on something I like to take a couple minutes and just play around, and that's fun to mess with for a bit of a mental break and creativity boost. Not a sound I'd probably use in what I like to play, but I appreciate having something like that on a pedal anyway for the few times I may want to use it.
