Mooer unveils Ocean Machine delay and reverb pedal
Mooer has revealed the Ocean Machine, a signature pedal for Devin Townsend. The Ocean Machine features two delays, a reverb and a looper, which can be arranged in any order. The first delay (Delay A) features digital, echo, galaxy, rotary, tri-mod, liquid, tremolo, reverse and mod-inverse, while Delay B features digital, real, analog, tape, mod, lo-fi, tube, dyna and filler. The reverb section features room, hall, plate, phaser-verb, flanger-verb, filter, reverse, spring and mod, as well as a separate shimmer control knob. Lastly, the looper can play back at half-speed or in reverse. The Ocean Machine has stereo ins and outs, expression pedal control and is MIDI compatible.
The final product is still being tweaked and its price isn't determined yet, but according to a tweet from Devin Townsend, it should go for around $250.
Below is a demo of the pedal by Effects Database taken at the Musikmesse show:
Mooer Twin Series Pedals offer on Massdrop
Massdrop currently has a "drop" going for the Mooer Twin Series pedals. If you're unfamiliar with Massdrop, it works similar to Groupon - Massdrop offers a product at a discounted price, but only if enough people commit to buy it. In this case, they're offering Mooer's Twin Series pedals at $104.99 if it can get 3 buyers, and the price lowers to $94.99 if there are 5 buyers. Mooer's two newest pedals, the Reverie Chorus and Reverie Reverb, are pretty good deals as the only stores that are currently carrying them have them at $168.
The Massdrop offer is located at this link, but you need to join the site in order to see it. You'll have until March 13th to get in on the offer.
Below are Mike Hermans's of the Reverie Chorus and Reverie Reverb. The Reverb is particularly interesting as it offers five base reverbs (room/hall, plate, shimmer, octave, mod) and then allows you to add your choice of effects (wah, low-pass, flanger, tremolo, water) on top of it, which should allow for some interesting creations.
Demo of Mooer's Mooergan organ simulator
British retailer Stompbox has an exclusive demo of Mooer's newest offering - an organ simulator named the Mooergan. It should be an interesting alternative to the more expensive EHX organ simulator pedals.
Cheapest true analog delay pedals
The following is a list of inexpensive true analog delay pedals under $100 new. These pedals use true bucket brigade chips, rather than analog-voiced chips such as the PT2399.
BBE Two Timer
Usually around $75 on Amazon
Provides up to 330ms of delay. Its unique feature is that it has two time knobs, and a footswitch that allows you to switch between the two settings.
Behringer Vintage Delay VD400
$25
The cheapest true analog delay, and by quite some distance. It uses a Coolaudio V3205 chip, and provides up to 300ms of delay.
Behringer Vintage Time Machine VM1
$50
A supposed EHX Deluxe Memory Man clone, the VM1 provides up to 550ms of delay, as well as options for chorus and vibrato. Known to have some tone-suckage problems.
Electro-Harmonix Memory Toy
$90
Has a modulation switch and up to 550ms of delay time. This is the most expensive pedal on this list, but could also be argued as the safest option since it comes from a reputable company and has a familiar sound.
Mooer Ana Echo
$60
The smallest analog delay on this list, and the only Chinese "mini pedal" that's a true analog delay. Uses a Coolaudio V3205 chip, and provides up to 300ms of delay.
Rifftone RT-2 Mantra
Around $57
Uses two Coolaudio V3205 chips and provides up to 600ms of delay time. The Rifftone Mantra is a rebranded XinSound Pro DL-99B sold by The Earth City Sound Company, a long time American seller of Chinese pedals. Therefore, you'll only find this pedal at their Amazon, eBay and Reverb stores. There is also a 300ms version of this pedal called XinSound Pro DL-99A, but neither XinSound pedal seem to be commonly sold.
Vox Double Deca
Usually around $80 on Amazon
Usually sells for around $150 at American stores, but for some reason costs around $80 from Japanese sellers on Amazon. Uses three Coolaudio V3205 chips. It features a modulation knob, as well as a toggle to choose between "short", "long" or "both" time settings. It provides up to 300ms in short mode and 900ms in long mode. The "both" mode uses both delays at the same time. The ability to use modulation and two different delays at once might make this the one of most interest to more experimental/ambient players.
