- FOOTSWITCHES AND LEDS -

The Oceans 12 has two footswitches which perform the same functions

for their respective reverb engines. The left footswitch controls Reverb A,

and the right footswitch controls Reverb B. Each footswitch has the

functionalities described below.

Footswitch Functions

BYPASS – The BYPASS functionality of the footswitch works like that

of a standard latching footswitch when the MOMENT button is not lit:

press and release to toggle between bypass and effect modes. When

the center white LED in the Oceans 12 graphic is lit, at least one of the

reverb engines is engaged and the unit is in effect mode.

If the MOMENT button is lit, then the selected reverb engine is normally

in bypass mode unless you press and hold the footswitch, at which point

it goes into effect mode. Release the footswitch and it returns to bypass

mode.

TAP – In ECHO reverb, press and release the footswitch two or more

times to set the delay time with your foot. The tap time and the current

MODE setting determine the actual delay time. After tapping in a delay

time, you may cycle through the MODE settings to find the desired delay

timing. The blue TAP LED at the bottom left of the Oceans 12 (pictured

below) will blink at the selected echo rhythm of your tapped tempo.

INFINITE – If TAILS is on, then press and hold one of the footswitches

to ramp up the reverb decay time of the associated reverb engine to

infinitely sustain. The white INF LED at the bottom left of the Oceans 12

(pictured above) will blink rapidly to indicate that infinite sustain is

engaged. Release the footswitch to ramp back down to the current

feedback setting. You may continue playing your instrument while the

infinite reverb decay is sustaining; the Oceans 12 will apply fresh reverb

from the second reverb engine to your new playing, indicated by the

rapid blinking of its SELECT and Reverb Type LEDs. While INFINITE is

sustaining, you may edit any of the knobs – these control changes will
