This pedal is insane and mine arrives tomorrow. So excited- thanks for the overview!
Best Ocean machine video I've seen
wow, really? thanks June!
5 years later and I'm reading that this pedal didn't sell very great at launch, however people are now selling their Strymon delays/reverbs and picking this up. It went from $239 to $300 and may still go up in price. I think people want something different than being stuck in the same old. Mine comes in tomorrow
I couldn't/wouldn't affort it when it came out. It is/was a totally underated pedal. It really needs some time to find put all the possibilities but then it beats lot's of pedals costing almost double.
Some weeks ago i picked one up, used, in mint condition for 125€/$
and it's a pleasure to play with.
Btw. For the older guitar nerds:
You can create Hank Marvins double delay signature sounds without a problem.
Want one bad, gonna start saving tomorrow!
Great demo.
thanks, HS Tele! :-)
I'm so anxious to get this pedal in my possession. Great demo!
Thanks Josh, it's a really cool pedal..I don't think there's much it can't do with reverb and delay.
I work for the distributor, www.osiamo.com/Mooer-Ocean-Machine and we'll have them around February 15th. I got this one from the NAMM show but had to hand it off to Premiere Guitar for another demo. I figured I'd grab some video while I had it in my hands. =)
Do you guys have them in stock yet?
Hi Jordan, we're expecting our first shipment next week but we may be sold out already, I'll know more by Weds 2/22, hit me back if you want and I will give you an update. email: my first name at osiamo dot com.
i think id be one with this machine.
Great presets!!! If you're planing to do another video, please show the looper capabilities and the behavior of the pedal when engaging/disengaging the 3 effects within a preset and how the tap tempo works. Thanks!!!
Hey Gianfranco, thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind if I do another one. I'm curious to check out the looper myself.
5:09 7B love that one
Mooer has really been taking the effects market by storm. This one packs a lot into one box for $300.
That's what I was thinking too, Fred.
Right?! expected to land before the end of April
(trying not to sound like "the boy who cried wolf")
no doubt..the last word from Mooer is they're supposed to be here (US) by end of April. www.osiamo.com/Mooer-Ocean-Machine
hoek1114 I dunno man.... yes there is a digital air about it..... but it sounds good to me..... not every setting, of course, but not all bad. depending on the gig, as to the useability of course. much respect to you and keep rocking!
I purchased the little Mooer E-Lady Flanger ( for that Andy Summers / David Gilmour Sound ) and could not be happier. It does Exactly what I hoped for. Very Impressive, and plays nice with my high-end Boutique Pedals. ( don't sleep on Mooer products ).
Hey Michael, I love the Elady too, I think it sounds great
yes, they have fantastic affordable pedals:
1 - Rumble Drive [Zen drive clone]
2 - Hustle Drive [OCD clone]
3 - Black Secret [fantastic Rat and Turbo Rat clone]
4 - Tender Octaver [EHX Micro Pog clone. EHX made them pull it out of the market, but sometimes you can find them on the net]
5 - Ana Echo [Boss analog echo clone]
6 - Green Mile [killer TS copy]
7 - Trelicopter [Demeter tremolator clone]
8 - Ninety Orange [MXR phase 90's clone. To my ears doesn't distort as the MXR one does, which is great]
9 - Triangle Buff [EHX Big Muff clone]
Cant say anything about the others, haven't tested them.
7B is quite impressive!!...
there are so many good to great pedal and effects, I just don't know which to get and I hate to dig into my guitar funds :) this does sound pretty cool
I know Tim, it's mind-boggling. I seriously don't know how they keep making and selling so many pedals, it's nuts!
HI Neal Walter, is it possible to enable the delay tail (spillover) between presets? or it is possible just in play mode?
So what would the signal path be to get that nice stereo sound for recording?
Does this have spillover function? Are the delay and reverb tails cut off during midi preset change?
I think "Mooer is Coming" ( word of caution ) to: These companies that are Price Gouging. Musicians are consumers, and we want Value for our money. I Love my E-Lady. Its Incredible. Don't Sleep on Mooer Pedals. Great bang-for the buck.
The Elady sounds amazing! it's a best-seller.
I currently have a Boss DD20 Delay and Eventide Space. Really tempted to scoop this up, it can replace my DD20
Are there devin townsend'd presets made by him? What number presets?
could you do a video with some lead tones with these presets? some desolate canyon gainy goodness
haha..I like your description. I would like to but I had to ship this unit of to Premiere Guitar for a review. I'll probably do some more when I get another one of these.
How's the sound quality? Functionality seems fantastic, and could potentially knock off my Empress Reverb and their delay that's coming out. As long as the sound quality is pretty up to par
I think the quality is good but I'd need to do a side-by-side to really tell.
Can you contronl more than one parameters with the expressison pedal?
Hi James, yes you can control various parameters with an expression pedal, but they're global and can't be changed per preset.
I heard some Counting Crows.:}
Thanks Randy, I hadn't thought of that one :)
300 is a nice price point, like having 3 pedals and a looper with stereo funciton.
me too, it's got a lot of goodies in one spot
Ebay is selling for 259/free shipping
Just bought one for 195 #blackfriday
I have a timeline and a bigsky thinking about buying this and selling the strymons do you think if it is worth? how the spring reverb quality is?
Hi Amzeeh, I can't speak for those two because I don't have them, so hard for me to make a judgement call.
I have the BigSky, Timeline and now this pedal. I would never sell my Strymons for this alone.
@@davidknight754 why not tho ,,,is it because strymon costs too much ???
Because the Mooer Ocean Machine doesn’t sound as good as the 2 Strymon pedals. I’ve owned it and wasn’t happy with it when comparing them.
Does cost play a role in the comparing this to the Strymom Blue Sky? Nice demo by the way!
Hey Gilles, thanks dude! It looks like they're about the same, $299.
BTW, we're expecting them this week: www.osiamo.com/newArrivals
That may be, from a retail point of view where the problems start. Strymon has a long established reputation with it's Blue Sky. While Mooer make nice pedals in a pinch they have yet to garner that kind of gravitas, just sayin'
I hear ya man :)
I had a blue sky, for the same price, the Mooer takes the cake. My blue sky was awesome, but it was limited to just a few small functions.
This or the Eventide Space?
I wish I had both!
I wonder how it would do with an Electric acoustic?
good question Rosby..I'll bet it would sound great
I have a acoustic Ovation. I use the Ocean
machine at church. It has an incredible ambient sound. 3A & 3C works good.
I use a Mooer Acoustikar with my Fender strat with the Ocean
machine as well. Kick in overdrive, turn off the Acoustikar & quick setting change on the Ocean machine & bam - your electric.
and then came GFI along......check the specular tempus
Shimmer comparison with bluesky???
To be honest with you R M, I was really looking forward to using the shimmer control as well as some of the far out delays such as Crystal, Galaxy, Liquid etc but I was so disappointed with those ones and found them basically unuseable.
To be fair though, I'd say about half of the delays on each knob are very good and most of the reverbs are good as well. So for me, I have 10 delays and about 7 reverbs out of my Ocean Machine, as well as the looper, that's useful with having the reverse & half speed options.
I see that it's already out of stock, are you gonna get new ones ?
Hi, it says out of stock but we haven't actually received the first shipment. It's on it's way and will arrive next week.
We are very close to sold out already but we will get another shipment, not sure of the time frame on that one yet.
Neal Walter did you ship them yet ? I'm so excited I can't wait to have it !
Hi Melomania, we are shipping today by "ordered date" first and our first run was small so I don't know if you made it in the first batch or not. You can email me at neal at osiamo dot com to give me your name and I can check the order for you. our next batch will ship at the end of March. I'm excited too!
Mooer had a delay in the first shipment, we now expect them by end of March. Looks like early next week might be the first incoming, but that batch is already sold out.
needs more knobs
I was thinking it needs more lights...lol
When will it be available?
Hi Ste Ro, we're getting the first shipment by end of March, but it has sold out already. You can check the website for updates: www.osiamo.com/ I'm guessing we'll have more in April. That's the best info I have for now. -Neal
hope I get one in Taiwan.
well, you're close to the source. I would think you can.
Hey Neal, could you post the dimensions of the pedal? Planning my pedal board. Cheers!
Hey Gianfranco, I had to ship the pedal off and didn't have a chance to measure it. I should get another one within 3 weeks? I can take dimensions then and post them here. I work for the distributor, Osiamo.com and we'll have them for sale around Feb 15th or so, if you're looking for a place to pick one up.
Hi Alastair, I had to ship the pedal off and didn't have a chance to measure it. I should get another one within 3 weeks? I can take dimensions then and post them here. I work for the distributor, Osiamo.com and we'll have them for sale around Feb 15th or so, if you're looking for a place to pick one up.
I found these dimensions (WITH packaging): 12.0 x 20.0 x 5.0 cm
for now, I found these dimensions (WITH packaging): 12.0 x 20.0 x 5.0 cm
Thanks. That's smaller than I was expecting, which is great. Sorry, based in Europe, otherwise I'd buy it from your shop!
Well now.... along with the tender octaver pro, I know where my moneyz going.
David nice! Thanks for your support David. I believe we have the tender octave pro in stock at Osiamo.com but the first batch of ocean machines have sold out already. We should have more by April.
You know what, you should be the first to do a demo of it. I'm really curious to see if it's as good as the tender octaver EHX made them pull out of the market.
thanks David, that's a good idea. I bought an expression pedal to test the TO Pro Exp. Pedal jack. It makes it act like a Whammy Pedal, pretty cool!
how good is the TO pro? would you compare it fairly to the Whammy or to the HOG?
the sound is good as a whammy, a little slow on the tracking when doing fast whammy effects, you can hear the increments rather than a full smooth effect.
This is obviously an exploding thing. Strymon Dig, Pigtronix Echolution, many many of 'em. And we gitbunnies LOVE to sit in our toy room and make cosmic noises. Some of these things are nuttier than a shithouse rat; in a _good_ way. In a band of decent caliber, the DRUMMER sets the pace and I can already "hear" some clashes. I have a Piggy Infinity looper, and they VERY WISELY provide a single extra out for the drummer and stage monitors. Can you imagine having TWO guitars having these on? They'd better lock them up with MIDI or you got cacaphony. POSSIBLY in a good way....
yes we do love sitting in our rooms and making noises! two guitars...that could be a mess..or a beautiful disaster
The wet mix is low so does not show me the depth of the sound. A lot of us using reverbs echos etc want it deep and disturbing. I have a strymon big sky , so wanted to hear one of these. The wet mix is very tame so does not give me a idea of the machine.
Hey Brandon, I just did a quick run-through in this video so didn't crank up the wet mix on this one. Just an "out of the box" run through.
When you do a quick run through out of the box, turn the knobs al the way so you get a quick sense of what you bought man...you must be very disciplined and meticulos type lol
Does it has a kill dry? and does the midi works as well?
Hi Hilbert, it has a wet/dry mix knob, I don't have the unit in front of me but I'm confident that you can turn knob to 100% wet and kill the dry tone. This page has a link to the quick start guide which shows some different MIDI setups: www.osiamo.com/Mooer-Ocean-Machine
thanks for the reaction, we wait and wil wait and see!
Good to put a little baby to sleep - that is a good thing.
This or the blue sky???
That is the question...
Big sky....... ;)
you're right Marios, it does have the shimmer function. They basically put all the Mooer reverb/delay bells and whistles into one unit.
Just looking at all those knobs and menus is making me seasick.
haha...yes, I know what you mean. I guess they named it well, then ;-)
Definitely!
I listened to al lot of reviews but i don't like the algorithms which ofcourse determine the sound of this pedal. Not bad for the money but no crystal clear transparent sounds in my opinion. Overall it sounds to muddy for me. I stay sticked to my beautiful Kemper effects...
This is a great sounding pedal BUT it is not reliable and Mooer seem to have no service. I bought one and absolutely loved it. Then it started glitching, then it stopped making any sound. The lights are all on but no one is home. I’m not the only one. There are many reports of problems just after it goes out of warranty and it’s just not worth it to get it fixed privately.
Mooer produce great pedals at a price, but once you are forking out more than £200/$200 they need to do better on the aftercare.
If you are happy to replace every couple of years, go for it, it’s great.
