  • I bought an Oceans 11 Reverb from Electro Harmonix and decided to film our first time together. MAN this is a crazy pedal. Drip for surf hall for ambience. I am very impressed so far!
    I cracked open the box and attempted to get some cool sounds. Did I succeed or did I just suck? Sink or swim

    Have to admit, I like this style of demo. No pre-playing of the pedal or planning, but out of the box experience- it shows a genuine first time users experience with a pedal this "complicated" it's all well and good finding out the best settings for each type and condensing it into a 5 minute video, but I found this to be more inspiring and representative of how easy or hard different people may find this pedal - thanks a lot!

      I have it. Not having played around with the pedal for too much but I like the Hall, Plate, Trem and (surprisingly) Shimmer. I play mostly with gain so I’m experimenting. Which setting do think works best with gain and delay?

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +1

      I think that plate works very well and the hall too

    Very interesting pedal, it seems ;-) One recommendation from my side: I thought it was sad that your playing could not be seen on the video. Keep them coming, mate!!

    • @TheGuitarGeek

      Thanks man. I had to stay out of it as I'm dealing with a broken computer and a broken camera... should be fixed for next week

    The spring setting is the absolute best feature on that pedal

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      It is REALLY good

    • @marcospintor1333
      @marcospintor1333 6 років тому

      TheGuitarGeek I saw another video on this pedal and i think they are like secret settings. For the spring, you could change the tube drive and you could change the length of the springs. Just saying in case you didn’t know that.

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +1

      I've since discovered that! Follow up video.....! Thanks

    The clean on that SG sounds great. What pups are they?

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +2

      Great idea mate. The pups are bog standard 498 and 490. They have been well abused and are slightly microphonic. The honey boy is also doing a great job

    Before anyone says anything about the warranty. I have sent one back. Like 4 years ago. Never heard a peep. ? I don’t have time in my life to chase down 65 bucks or whatever it cost

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +2

      Well that's as much on you as it is Ehx dude. You can't complain about losing money if you're not willing to chase it down

  • @markferguson3745
    @markferguson3745 6 років тому +3

    When I came up, EHX- was the only game in town,and as such,got much love.These days, however, they've been completely eclipsed by the competition, with only a few offerings that aren't entirely obsolete.I see this, the Canyon, Ravish Sitar, and maybe the Pitch Fork as viable contenders; sound quality a little better than TC, not quite up to Keeley, which has long offered similar.It will be on my board, next to the EQD,MXR,JHS, and ZVEX.I wish them all the best on future designs.

    Great video! Did you notice any tone loss or digitalisation of the dry signal with the pedal engaged or in the bypass mode?

  • @Jflux69
    @Jflux69 6 років тому +1

    Mm, like this one.

  • @markstanford594
    @markstanford594 6 років тому +1

    Wow! 35 minutes. You been hanging around Henning too long! Nice pedal though. Not sure it will unseat my HOF Reverb but might have to go on my GAS list. Nice video!

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      I was waiting for this 😄
      I'll do a shorter concise video too

    • @peterjessop1878
      @peterjessop1878 6 років тому

      TheGuitarGeek with this pedal not sure any less than 30mins would do it justice.

      For this style of video you're right

    • @nickcasale1709
      @nickcasale1709 6 років тому

      Long format is fine, preferred personally - I think as long as you throw some timestamps people can jump to in the description it's all good - thanks for the video

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      Good idea. I'll do that

  • @onzkicg

    Hi there! I won this in an auction, but still on the way couple of weeks. Do you think this one is way better than TC’s HOF (1) which I currently have? I can’t keep two anyway. Thanks!

  • @BloodpactORG
    @BloodpactORG 6 років тому +1

    Switch inside to toggle buffered/ bypass? Anyway you skipped the reverse setting :o

    • @louisfryzel4618
      @louisfryzel4618 6 років тому

      No, it sets tails on or off. There is no true bypass on this pedal, it's all buffered.

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      Thanks

    Man that is great sounding pedal (at least to my ears) to bad E.H. Is not at the top of it's game with quality control, that being said I'd probably take a shot with one, I am not a huge pedal guy so it would not get to much abuse. did you ever do a video of the Harley Benton p.r.s copy? Your channel seems to improve with every video you post Andy, great job with your channel so far. are you going to be selling T-shirts ever?

    • @TheGuitarGeek

    I so want to trust ehx pedals. But unfortunately in my experience they flat break a lot and cost me. Maybe they will change idk

    I finally watched it all the way through and it seems like you didn’t like the pedal due to its complexity. I have it and like the flexibility.

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      Hi Alexander. I like the sounds but you're right, I found it a bit annoying that I had to learn everything and dials did things other than what was labelled.

    • @Smart-Alex
      @Smart-Alex 6 років тому +1

      TheGuitarGeek it’s not that hard to dial in a sound. It was fun to experiment and didn’t have to read the manual.

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +1

      Cool. Maybe I'll give it another whirl

    Oceans 11 or the Hall of fame 2 tough one

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому

      That's REALLY tough

    • @jay_thedog_man5169
      @jay_thedog_man5169 6 років тому +4

      Oceans 11 in my opinion but that’s because you can’t get good surf drip out of the Hall of Fame. Where as with the EHX you really get the drip. But it definitely depends on your style of playing.

    • @TheGuitarGeek
      @TheGuitarGeek  6 років тому +1

      The drip is great

    • @jay_thedog_man5169

      It's not a review, its an exploration!
