Oceanum - Boostverb(?)
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2017 5:47 pmSurfy slapback, delicate ethereal tones, and walls of shoegazey goodness all await within.
Oceanum is a reverb based around the Belton Brick, but with a slightly different approach. Instead of a unity gain buffer around the reverb, I allow control of a preamp section.
Users are offered control of:
-Preamp Gain
-Active 3-band EQ (Treble, Mid, Bass) - shapes clean tone prior to reverb
-Reverb Mix
-Decay
-Two mode toggle
[Mode One] contains a room/hall/spring reverb with a fairly short decay range
[Mode Two] has more pronounced slapback at shorter decay, and a longer decay time available.
My original plan was to fill a void for dedicated pre-dirt reverbs. I was pleased to find out that this does that and more.
Slam the front end of a dirt pedal or amp with a boosted wall of reverb or place it after your dirt, tweak the EQ to your liking and set to a desired level. You choose how transparent or noticeable the change is.
Assembled in a powder coated and screen printed aluminum enclosure. High quality aqua 3PDT switch, alpha pots, aluminum knobs, and neutrik jacks, as usual.
PCB's currently being fabricated for the first run as well as demos and tourbox.
