Mooer Audio: OCEAN MACHINE (taking a trip with...)

[@HaraldEngels]

The nicest Ocean Machine presentation I have seen so far (a lot).

[@toomzey]

Harald Engels Could not agree more! 👍🏻

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Easily. A video displaying very useful sounds.... That sound great.

[@JG-ux7of]

Holy shit, I have buyers remorse. In the past year I've bought the TC HoF2, Walrus Audio Descent and Walrus Audio Fathom. Those 3 pedals set me back $600 without tax. I also bought the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run V2 which is Reverb and Delay, that was bought used at $250. I could have purchased this and the Delay Unit and saved money with more options. The only Mooer effects I heard were the Shimverb and their multi effects systems and they weren't very impressive. This sounds like a Strymon Big Sky and is a lot less money. My problem is when I have GAS I run out and buy shit. I need to do more research and have MOOER self control.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Me too.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Just buy it and throw it in with the rest if you havnt already considering this comment is two years old

[@ruxiwang9571]

the shimmer reverb on Ocean Machine is still crap. sounds plastic.

[@clappingjazzhands9408]

Brett deserves a commission for everything he reviews. Always a great job and amazing presentations. I’ve purchased a few pedals based on these videos. This might be next.

[@BrettKingman]

Stephen, you are too kind. The truth is, these days I do often get to hang onto the pedal (like this one) and sometimes I get paid as well. These videos often take a day to put together so it's become my full-time job. Thanks for your support and have a great Christmas. :)

[@ebeep]

Count me in as Brett having been my KZbin salesperson on many occasions. Despite my "NO SOLICITORS" sign, he assures me he'll just be a minute, dumps a canister of dirt on my carpet, and then brings in the next greatest vacuum I've ever seen. It cleans like no other whilst making the most beautiful noise. He then schools me on all the features before accepting payment on his way out the door. I've been watching for years now. Thank you Brett; you're always welcome in my home!

[@JG-ux7of]

He is one of my favorite guitarists on KZbin. His playing using the Earthquaker Devices Seamachine and one of their reverb pedals was amazing. I listened to it 100 times or more easily, not so much for the pedals but to hear him play

[@djandreezer]

Just ordered one because of this - and I don’t even play guitar! I’m a synth guy and can totally see this used with synths

[@StuartRochabrunt]

How's your experience so far? I have a Flashback Triple Delay and a Neunaber Expanse to use with my synths. Thinking about the 3 Digitech (Polara, Nautila, Obscura) and the Specular Tempus. This could be an addition too.

[@TARAS_K]

does this still work?

[@amundbisgaard7295]

This work is pure gold. Made my day, although it was already made. Double made it.

[@jacobpittman1996]

When I want to know what a piece of gear does and how it can sound, Brett Kingman delivers the goods. Thanks for demoing with competence.

[@BrettKingman]

Very kind. Thanks, Jacob. All the best to you.

[@pablohernandez1989]

Best video of this pedal I’ve seen. It gave me more creative ways to use the one I already have!

[@learningguitar562]

ohh those tones. very nice playing and very lush effects

[@DrJoshGuitar]

F'n beautiful in headphones... I am inspired now. Time to go back to my channel and create something

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

Geez man. Do this at a gig and people will feel all kinds of emotion. Beautiful stuff.

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks. I'm not sure I could ever replicate this performance, though. It was just the right time (in my head) with just the right pedal (a future classic) and I'm lucky I captured the lot on film. I wondered for a day or so whether people would dig this, but in the end I let it go. Glad I did. Thank you for your encouraging comment and all the best to you. :)

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

@@BrettKingman Well you sold me on this pedal. More so than DTs video! It's sitting on my board right now.

[@TimothyBussMusic]

After listening to the very beginning and the very end of this video, I think you are for the birds! Seriously, I have listened to a number of folks demoing this pedal and you are without a doubt the best one of all of them, whether you like it or not!!!

[@BrettKingman]

Ha! Timothy, you are too kind. I considered 'sea' sounds for the intro/outro but thought it was a little too literal, so I went for what I could hear coming from the yard and window - country sounds. Cheers!

[@ahmedalkatraz6715]

This is an awesome Demo man, Cheers to you

[@skyhigh_butterfly]

Damn, that loop mode kinda sold me on this.

[@carlodevivomusicontent2138]

i agree, it's the best demo of this pedal. I think this machine could take over many more expensive delay pedals. I think it is very very versatile, and has everything

[@cesarvalerio4292]

Nice! Greetings from brasil

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

This unit is dirt cheap considering it’s quality and vast expanse of fx options. Thanks for taking us along for the trip;)

[@jeff0566jsm]

Really,Really, Nice...

[@captainprivate3768]

Certainly sounds good when you're playing it! Will add this to my list of options. Thanks.

[@inspectionnegross8695]

Mooer have a solid bunch of products these days.

[@neilgroves3592]

What does holding down the right hand button do at 1:50 ?

[@bioburden]

I think it's a freeze function.

[@podhditalia]

in-depth as well as enjoyable demo, thank you

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

This sounds like something Eric Johnson would have a blast playing. With his clean tone and chord progressions it just fits his style.

[@ZillianZilch]

I've just ordered this Pedal before watching your demo. Having watched it I might order another one! Awesome stuff

[@TARAS_K]

does this still work?

[@ianfisher5316]

Wow. David Gilmour would have loved this 45 yrs ago. I'll stay with my Dispatch Master for now.

[@BCTGuitarPlayer]

ian fisher: that was the very first thing that came to my mind, too👍

[@Obradoom]

beautiful presentation man, big props!

[@JUNINHOMALTEEN]

With the Trail function in "off" (truebypass mode), does it give a little fuss? Is this caused by the conversion of signals when triggered the effects key?

[@gatlinjb]

Merry Christmas BK...! I'm a early subscriber and many moons in...I feel like your in my life... I enjoy all your demos and watch everyone...! Cheers from Newport Beach, CA. Sk8ter Joe

[@BrettKingman]

Thank you, that's a wonderful to leave. I'm really flattered and glad to be a small but positive part of your guitar life. I wish you and all the CA people (whom I hope are safe from the raging fires happening there at the moment) a wonderful and safe Christmas. Cheers!

[@vandermaas76]

Oh man. Sounds even better with a doobie !!! Heavenly awesome, Brett !!

[@BrettKingman]

Haha. Pass it over here, would you, please? :D

[@zzzang1231]

Very nice work

[@StuartRochabrunt]

3:47 Shut up and take my money!

[@cgonzt5636]

Hi, sounds awesome. I know this is a cheaper brand.. and in KZbin headphones sounds good also. Is the audio quality of this thing comes close to other popular brand delay reverb combo? Like EHX, Keeley, etc.

[@rivonbd]

Great demo, very good

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

When I noticed by accident that you had posted video this I wondered what on "earth" you'd do with it. Now that I've finally returned to this planet after listening to it I just have to say. . . holy (insert profanity here) Kingman! Incredible!

[@zenarobinson3851]

oh wow! fantastic performance. (i think perhaps some of us will be disappointed with our own results tho'!)

[@yosephmcjoe9575]

Would've been cool to see some of the Expression Pedal functionality, but other than that couldn't have asked for a better demo, sounded immense

[@MrBothandNether]

Thank You, Brett.

[@teknical100]

Brett, you could sell me a bag of air to be honest. You are an inspiration, thank you.

[@BrettKingman]

Aww, thanks, T100! Truth is, I had to sell mine to pay some bills (usual story). I wish I didn't have to because it's a pretty amazing pedal. I never heard whether Devin Townsend liked this demo or not. Oh well, onwards and upwards. All the best to you!

[@teknical100]

@@BrettKingman Well he should Brett because I've just paid for one off the back of your review. (Coming Tuesday). Thanks again for some great playing (and inspiration), you are certainly one of the best reasons for spending time here. Take care.

[@ampcruz2540]

Hahahaha

[@aquabot]

I neeeeed this!!! Soooo much!!!

[@The_Doc_Rocks]

Showing your Gilmour streak there, Burgs - beautiful stuff, mate :)

[@BrettKingman]

Thanks, Pete. Maybe Mr G and I were brothers from a different mother or something. This stuff is very easy for me ... flows out effortlessly. I sometimes think that all the acid I took in the late 80's had a beneficial effect. I'm glad I stopped taking it, though! Cheers. :)

[@sryburn641]

Incredible

[@guitawrizt]

Need a third hand for knob-tweaking.

[@migzz7976]

Or longer toes

[@itumelengnkabinde]

I need this

[@neilgroves3592]

would have been nice if you had told us what you were doing as you went along?.... what settings you were using etc

[@BrettKingman]

There's bare bones written commentary along the bottom of the video as I'm adjusting parameters. Verbal commentary would've spoiled the soundtrack in my opinion.

[@MrRob33]

I just snorted table salt

[@neilgroves3592]

Mr. Rob you must be a liberal....first eating tide pods, now sniffing salt😅

[@TheTruth70777]

Should I get this or the line 6 m9 as an additional to my board?

[@pipecfh]

I had an M5, now I own one of this and for sound quality for delays and reverbs I think this is better than the line 6.

[@neilgroves3592]

how long are the individual delays and can they be stacked to double the length? also is it possible to plug in another delay in the line to add still MORE delay?

[@Mrjononotbono]

What an amazing pedal. Your demo/music has made me want one! Thanks!

[@nayaraoliveira7862]

Great video! Does it have both stereo input and output? I'm looking for a looper that uses at least 2 switches to use alone or simultaneously in live performance. Is his looper good to set up and save presets? How long does it have full memory for it?

[@rahjuwow]

Thanks for the great demo. My problem with these wonderful sounding pedals is when they come with stomp buttons that make a huge clicking sound when pressed. Terrible disturbance during quiet ambient moments. Specially so with EHX pedals. This is why i tend to stick with Boss. Does this one have that problem too? Please let me know, as I can only purchase these gadgets online without testing first hand

[@her0de84]

Rahju, no they do not have a click sound. Play mode you can turn the "one of the 3" effects off..BUT in patch mode there is no on or off...so I use a loop box to take it in and out of my pedal chain..only for patch mode..cheers

[@themanofgreatpromise]

Would you choose this over the EHX Oceans 11?

[@eugeniop4547]

Hi! Does it have a dotted 8th? Thanks

[@bartonamon]

Beautiful....

[@jeanguion3223]

impressive demo to say the least

[@mr.rul0005]

Does this have a Dotted 8th delay setting?

[@psychosculptor]

Yep

[@This_Justin86]

Finally someone good demoing this thing. How does it sound with some gain? Seems like a fun piece of kit, especially for those late night soundscape vibes

[@neilgroves3592]

I've had this machine for a while now and initially I was happy with it, however after listening to some of the other units both reverb and delay, I am considering going back to individual inits such as the strymon DIG for delays...I am stuck for reverbs though, what would you recommend to check out Bill for a decent reverb machine? the reverb on the ocean just doesn't sound good to me.

[@theokingshango]

If money then: Strymon Big Sky or Crazy tube circuits Splash stereo. But seems like this Mooer packs double features for third of a price. I wonder if the sonic diference is so big?

[@alansturgess1324]

The 'Quick Start Guide' for this pedal is a joke - a few diagrams and a few instructions. No troubleshooting information and - unlike EHX - no suggested starter settings to help you begin experimenting. This upload is superb because you hear lots of interesting sounds and the uploader puts all the settings on-screen. That all starts at 0.32. Essential watching if you're new to the 'Ocean Machine'. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6nWlnqMa6aZisk

[@CPUrafael]

Very nice :)

[@LysanderLH]

Seems more user friendly as a delay than the Meris Polymoon.

[@luishenriquerodriguesdasil8018]

Fantástic

[@MrWaightyboy]

Just bought one coz of this.

[@robertfalconer5054]

Ambient universe of sounds,😎

[@fatback2]

Groovy!

[@FretFriendGWaL]

Why do people feel the need to go tell total strangers on the internet that they smoke weed? Great demo btw; I was going to buy a Vox DelayLab and a TC HoF for my pedal-board but I think I am going to buy this pedal instead...

[@pastorkev777]

I have the Vox DelayLab and this is a different animal. I will use both once I get this pedal. The Vox has some stellar sounds and is best for u2 and ping pong delays. I do love the DelayLab, but this is the ambient tone I desire.

[@paulg7002]

Wow, I think I heard about a dozen intros for some new Pink Floyd songs.

[@jeanpat8946]

Great !!!

[@adrianchynoweth4684]

WOW!!!

[@psychosculptor]

The lack of midi sync is a huge disadvantage of this pedal.

[@JJF10101957]

Impressive, I'm not sure that I can live long enough to justify the cost.

[@-thirteen]

Jimmy Fischbeck it's the cost of two other pedals

[@AceBambam]

Perfect for dub hehe

[@standaklapuch2370]

Super :-)

[@jrr832]

Wow

[@tommyfoley]

Tangerine Dream called, they want their pedal back.

[@WillMaskellTaylor]

its devin townsends signature pedal hehe ;)

[@MrJackal43]

TOFO phhhft... Devin Townsend made this pedal moron. “Tangerine Dream?” The 60’s called, they want their shite crap band back.

[@cmin7b9]

🤙

[@badhandtim1]

Woah...

[@soundknight]

I'm surprised at how good this sounds. Reminds me of Fate of Nations sound.

[@gatlinjb]

😊

[@sunlounger29]

I'm a simple man... this has too many knobs and options for me. Love the sounds though!

[@HBSuccess]

sunlounger29 probably way more practical in the recording studio than onstage.

[@DavidDavid-uh8ry]

Think of it as 2 delays & one reverb with 4 knobs each. Easy start, then a looper. A simple option is, click the right button & go through the presets.

[@LeviBulger]

It's way more intuitive than you might think. Way easier than more expensive multi function delays. It's also surprisingly small. I think Mooer killed it with this. They continue to surprise me. The only downside is the digital "true" delay isn't crystal clear, but I don't mind that at all as I prefer the analog, echo type sounds.

[@Avalanche1368]

Does it come with any hallucinogens? Maybe some Shrooms?......Freak-out man..

[@DavidDavid-uh8ry]

No, just Devins face at the bottom of the box.

[@mclekrell]

I really like the Ocean Machine. One thing that bothers me though it that it is -obviously- built on stolen copyrights. And now we’re buying it back, hurting the original inventors that were stupid (greedy, forced...!?) enough to produce in China, where their ideas were stolen and made into this cheap little box. Perfectly (and quite ugly, but wth) I have to add. Anyway, who am I to lecture, I bought it too for the fourth of the price of two great delays and a reverb.

[@theokingshango]

We are not buying it back, we are buying it cheap or more affordable. We hurt inventors in a sense that they wont get so stinkin rich as hey could have...

[@mclekrell]

King Shango Sound don’t become a lawyer if you’re smart

[@theokingshango]

I surely wont lol
