- FOOTSWITCH FUNCTIONALITY -
INFINITE REVERB
In most reverb types (see the chart on page 8 for which ones), infinite
reverb is instantaneously accessible by holding down either the internal
footswitch or an external footswitch connected to the INFINITE jack. This
makes the active reverb play in the background indefinitely while granting
access to a fresh, independently controllable reverb of the same type. For
more details, see “Infinite Reverb Functionality” on page 14.
TAP TEMPO
In ECHO reverb, the quarter-note echo delay can be set with tap tempo.
You can use either the built-in footswitch or an external tap tempo switch
connected to the INFINITE jack. Plugging in an external footswitch,
however, always disables the internal footswitch’s tap tempo functionality.
With either footswitch, you can achieve different rhythms using the MODE
button, per the ECHO reverb’s MODE descriptions on page 5. Tap twice at
your desired quarter-note tempo to lock in your tap time.
You can disable the internal footswitch’s tap tempo function. To
disable/enable internal tap tempo, unplug power from the OCEANS 11,
press and hold the footswitch, then plug power back in while holding the
footswitch (this will also disable/enable the internal footswitch’s infinite
reverb control, see “Infinite Reverb Functionality” on page 15). The LED
will slowly blink five times if tap tempo is turned off or will blink twice if
tap tempo is turned on. The OCEANS 11 saves your tap tempo
enable/disable setting until it is changed again, even if the pedal is
removed from power.
You can also reset the internal footswitch’s tap tempo to the factory
default setting of enabled by holding the footswitch when resetting
secondary knob settings. See step 3 in “Erasing Secondary Knob Settings”
on page 11.
KICKING THE SPRING TANK
In SPRING reverb, if “TAILS” is on (see “Controls” on page 3), quickly
double tap the internal footswitch to "kick" the emulated spring tank. If
an external footswitch is connected to the INFINITE jack, then you must
use that one instead of the internal one. This will send a loud bouncy jolt
through the OCEANS 11, as it would a real spring reverb unit.
