Gosh I miss listening to Strapping Young Lad... How many Devin Townsend fans are here in the house ✋
👍🏼
got it :D
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Zayne Langston Instablaster =)
I’m 60 this year and got my first guitar when I was 20. Trouble is I never stuck at it. Lot’s of reasons such as working away from home etc. But have made a conscious decision to dig my stuff out..............update with a few bits and bobs (as tech has moved on sooooo much) . Have been watching your CZcams stuff and finding it has really inspired me to get stuck in. I never really got beyond being able to play 10 chords averagely well on the guitar. Not a lack of ability.............just a lack of time and effort on my part. I love this ambient guitar stuff..........right up my street. So have ordered the MOM and am looking forward to it arriving. Around 20 years back I dabbled with various keyboards/synths/samplers (Kong Z1, Novation, Nord etc...........and have still got them too). So going to sort it all out and ‘create’. I do a lot of walking/climbing in Snowdonia, The Lakes, North York moors and up in Scotland..................and also film those. So my inspiration is to create a musical backdrop to those films. Love what you are doing and the way you share and explain. Keep up the great work and you have a new subscriber ......Mallers
Thanks so much for subscribing and leaving a comment! I hope you foray into this kind of stuff is a good experience. Keep creating!!
I'm not a gamer but I have friends who disappear sometimes for a week when they get a new game. I feel I would do the same thing if I got one of these. I'd be sitting in a pile of pizza boxes and soda bottles with sores all over my fingers and a crazed look in my eye
Sounds like a good time! :-)
sedgwic st.patrick
same, except it would be beer bottles! 😵💦👍
exactly
And how is that a bad thing?....
i was thinking the same thing before i read this comment hahahah
That's an incredible pedal,I just love the ethereal sounds that you can dial up on it-any guitarist can now create tonal dreamscapes that were previously only available with a lot of studio effects manipulation. I amazed by how you constantly come up with Mooer and Mooer innovative effects pedals.
I can't believe that such insane tool is really affordable.
Very good presentation, keep up a good work.
Bill, you seem to review every pedal I come across and get interested in.
I usually only watched gear videos with no talking, but I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I have been shopping for a more advanced reverb pedal. Came across this one by accident and saw that you reviewed it. Your review sold me. Thanks for going into depth(some) to show what this can do.
Glad it was helpful!!
Chords of Orion
You’re like the Bob Ross of the guitar pedal world.
I was going to post that same comment.
Just got mine yesterday. For the music I’m writing/recording, this is an ideal tool for me. Such an amazing pedal
I love Devin Townsend!
I ordered one of these about a month ago. Got to tell ya, this thing is awesome. I don't know if it is better than or less than any other pedal of its type, but wow. Has given me so much voice in my playing. I have run my guitars through it. My keyboard through it. My bass through it. It is always interesting and surprising what comes out the other side. Thanks for putting these demo videos out.
Great that the OM is working well for you!!
I have learned quite a lot from your videos for ambient guitar playing and want to say thank you for putting them out there for those of us who are drawn to ambient music. I don't wish to imitate anyone but just getting ideas from you(and Andy Othling) has pushed me into some interesting directions. I currently record on Audacity but would welcome some advise on purchased recording programs.
A few additional notes on your excellent reviews:
1) Deep effect editing is only for the modulated delay/reverbs; for all the other the deep editing is limited to the 4 parameters as er the knobs
2) There is a freeze function: with a clean digital delay or reverb is a classical freeze, with tape or analog you can create some weird effects
3) The looper has reverse and half speed but, unfortunately, no undo: it is weird that in some (even official) ads it says 44 and in other 60 seconds of looping time; in mine, it was 44
4) Very interesting: in deep editing you can also choose the structure of the delay repeats (independently per delay A and B): 1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 (dotted or normal), 1/16, etc.
5) You can get firmware updates (the first is already out), but you need to buy special midi to usb cables (around 20$)
Overall, excellent machine, but tap dancing is quite difficult, especially for the looper: Mooer sells a separate wireless pedalboard that can add 4 switches, but then the price increases....
How to make a parallel mode for delay ?
@@artemdemidov2874 in settings mode you can choose the routing, series or parallel for any of the 2 delays and reverb
@@andreaferrero6533 thanx!!!!
I love not only the way you play and treat the sounds but also the way you talk. So patient and pleasant attitude to listeners and viewers. Your video was the one to make me sure I bought my OM well.
This is a really fascinating stomp box , love its capabilities.
I took a chance on getting one pretty much on release as I like Devin's ethos (he's a great salesman for the product!) it looked good and I needed a dual delay/reverb.
I use it in a lively church on modern worship so a mixture of 80s rock, post-rock and even EDM! We usually have two keyboards too but there's still space for a bit of textural ambient 6-string loveliness!
So, after a month or two...
Pros
lots of great sounds - very flexible
lots of patch slots
great value (If money was no object, I'd go for Source Audio or Strymon Delay/Reverb but this does the same sort of job perfectly well.
Cons
I find the shimmer is just a tad harsh/artificial for me
The tap tempo is a bit close to the menu button so I've accidentally pressed it a few times but I'll learn not to or maybe 'hack it' with a little cover or something!
When switching from some of the more intense patches there can be a weird 'video-game style' sound as it transitions. I just look at the keyboard-player as if to say 'Was that you?!" ;) but ideally it'd be a little more elegant! Or there may be a setting I've missed - suggestions welcome! :)
So, on balance - I've found it to be a great piece of kit at a great price (even at the original RRP which was what I paid before the price was dropped.)
Really great CZcams channel by the way. I work in education and I think your presentation style is great.
Excellent review - it's great to have feedback from someone using it in a band setting. Thanks for sharing!
just change the setting of the trails. you can choose whether the delay/reverb continues after changing patch or if it stops
saw Devin in Bristol recently , and twice in 1993.
Also met Fripp at Southampton university in the late 1980s who is one of [the many] innovative musicians that have influenced me.
I'm glad I found your channel, as it fits to some of my "playing-moods or guitar-personality"
that sounds odd!?
anyway.. Cheers
John in Hampshire, England.
Thanks for joining the community here!!!!
Chords Of Orion
you're welcome,...
I just bought a Zoom G3Xn
it has 150 patches, 75 of which are presets.
There's an online PDF listing them...
They emulate famous Amps and Guitarists.
I currently find it overwhelming, and need to work out its potential uses as it is my first ever multiple digital pedal.
At the moment... having fun using existing patches...... I will post a video lasting a couple of seconds so you can see it.
Apologies if you already have one!
;~)
Same here John.....Stumbled upon this channel about 6 months ago and got the bug for ambient guitar playing from this bloke, although I'm not that good at it yet. My missus got me 1 of these Ocean Machines for Christmas so I'm going over the videos again to look for a few tips. Isle of Wight here mate 👍
Sex and Religion tour?
This Moore Oceam Machine and Specular Tempus both sound more interesting to me than the Styrmons
The Tempus sounds freaking amazing in youtube demos, best reverb out there right now, I seems to me.
Got mine today!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet!!
Here it is, 3 years later, and I still am thinking about getting one of these. Just can't find anything else that can do what this does. After watching Devin play a single note into it, and then use the pedal as an instrument to mangle and build on it... it just strikes me as something I would love to make music with.
Have you snagged one up yet? Just received mine this week. I can't stop playing with it. Goes great with a Strymon Blue Sky, but on its own there is so much to play with.
Gotta say, this is just in time! Yesterday I put mine TC Nova Delay and Mooer Shimverb Pro on sale to buy the Ocean Machine, and here you are with the video! It made me confident I'm heading the right way
I spent 2 hours last night working the OM. The more I use it, the more I like it. The 2 limitations that I see are 1) looper is only 44 seconds and 2) longest delay time is 2 seconds. If that does not bother you, then it's worth serious consideration.
I'd love to get more looping time, but then I can get a pedal dedicated for that. As for the delay time, my Nova has 2290ms so I think it wouldn't make much difference. One thing that bothers me though is that I'm used to manually setting the delay time in BPM and storing it as presets for gigging purposes and was wondering if it was easy to change presets up and down on the Ocean Machine?
I don't want to sound crazy, but that's the third time you inspired me for something guitar-rig-related. First I got a volume pedal because of coming across your channel, then recently I decided to swap it with the octaver in my chain (which btw makes perfect sense) and now the Ocean Machine. You are being very helpful sir, thank you!
Even it's a 5 year old video...
It's still a good demonstration.
This pedal is worth every cent, it's even a steal. I got one used for 110€\$.
The possibilities of this pedal are endless and if there were a name on it like Strymon it would cost 500+
Most musicians don't know what they miss without an ocean machine.
Btw. With the firmware update it has Midi Clock included.
Excellent demo. What puts me off buying are the significant number of reviews which mention that the unit either fails after a short time or that build quality is dubious ... but most negatives seem to focus on the number of units which fail within a few months. Soundwise it sounds amazing with masses of potential for anyone who enjoys creating ambient-style pieces.
Just when I thought I had everything that I need, THIS makes it's appearance. Looks like a "Must"...
You should really release some music that's just you playing ambient stuff with some spoken word over the top. Your voice is so relaxing!
Glad you like my voice. Maybe I will do something like that!
Very nice demo again Bill - you sold me on this too!
Hope you enjoy it!
Just an update, been using the Mooer Ocean Machine now for a few months. I absolutely love it.
Did you ever use an expression pedal in it?
Red Skelton and the Smothers brothers sent me here. Coming up next .... Hogans Heroes
Hi Bill. Thanks for another great review. You've got some beautiful tones and playing going on here. I really enjoyed your preset as well. I agree that this is definitely a step up for Mooer (I got my pedal the other week), the pedal has a real nice solid, quality feel. I just wanted to also add the looper has a really nice feel and using the half-speed and reverse mode while looping was great to experiment with. All the best
Cheers from Texas!
🤟😺🤟
Love DT
I should get my hands on one !
you have a very nice voice, try to record an audio book
he speaks in ambient voice.
Isaac Darlong Haha ! Fucking funny. I've heard somewhere that it's called "Voice of Orion"
Thank you for all your inspiring videos
Thanks man....you've inspired me to print out the manual and give it another go... a lovely sounding pedal.
Ordered. Holy smokes. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. Hope you enjoy the pedal. I've been finding a lot of really nice sounds with it this week.
Thanks. I can't find decay on the looper in the Mooer. I suspect it doesn't have this. Can you confirm? If not its not a deal breaker.
Yeah - as far as I can tell from the manual and from playing around with the looper - there is no loop decay feature, just half speed and reverse. I am planning on focusing more on the looper over the next week or so. If I find a decay option, I will be sure to let you know!
Got the pedal in. Yes, no decay. Its all good. I think I could use it for a drone or something similar. This would free up my Ditto X4 in the chain to perform more complex types of looping!
Your voice alone was enough to make me sub. Great demo!
Oooh! I've been waiting for this!
Sweet!!!!
the onion knight....Didnt know you were a musician too :)
Winston C 😂
Winter came and he whittled it away with his guitar :)
😆
Nice pedal.very easy to adjust and your explanation was pretty clear
Thanks!
Awesome. Congratulations for your great videos! Cheers!
Lovely detailed presentation of combinations! Thanks!
Certain sounds remind me of my beloved old Digitech XP SpaceStation ✌️😊🎶
wow, great effects pedal!
Great video. It is really helpful. I just got my Mooer Ocean Machine today. I have been waiting for it to come out since I saw Devin Townsend demonstrate it in a NAMM video. It is definitely designed and built well. I am just starting to explode it, but it has some cool effects. My favorite, thus far, is the fuzz delay. The guitars initial output comes out clean, but the delay comes out fuzzy.
The fuzz delay is definitely cool. I am planning on working with that one for sure.
I was hoping you'd review this one, cheers Bill!
This sounds so good, I want one
Man, I was expecting this thing to be between $500 to $600 but it's only $300. A lot of pedal for that price. Mooer is really coming out with some nice gear. I just watched a review of their EVH clone preamp (the 005) on Know Your Gear and Phil really showed it well. Liked and subbed
Thanks for subbing! I've had the OM now for a few months, and it still impresses me with the range of features and sounds.
Love the sounds you're getting
Mod Rev , Low Bit and Liquid Delay seems really interesting, in fact i'm pretty sure that pedal is a must have !
Mooer do some great gears actually (Red Truck or Mod Factory)!
Nice demo !
Thanks!
well this throws a bit of motivation for me to finalize something i have been meditating on for a bit... good on you for putting this contest on. skol
Go for it! You still have a month left to record and post!!!
I was hoping you'd do a demo of this. I love your videos/music/tone/guitars everything. lol
Thanks!!
Sounds wonderful.
Your sound is just amazing! And your review of this pedal is one of the very few where the pedal is used how it was supposed to :)
Thanks!!!
I bought one a couple weeks ago. I like it.
you too can be the edge////seriously beautiful sounds-I wish I had more use for it.
If you don't have any pedals then this lokks like a great introduction to ambient guitar, if you already own a reverb, and a delay then many of these sounds are already available to you.... Personally I am still saving for the immerse 😀
Totally agreed!
1.8 seconds in to your playing and I realise I must possess this
Sooooo I gotta get a second job for this? It's BEAUTIFUL and I could spend a month getting lost in this pedal. Very very nice 😀
good job on demo. You have good playing ideas too, I will listen to your music. FYI to anyone using delays: google bpm (beats per minute) to ms (milliseconds) for chart to synchronize delays to metronome
Great Video and love the preset
Thanks!
I am always late to the party :D Thank You for sharing this Bill ... I am saving again now to buy this Pedal you show here :D
Just a quick update after a week of experimental usage....If you are thinking of buying a strymon DIG.....DON'T!! .... for the same money, you can have one of these awesome beasts, the delays are way easier to understand and you get the addition of a beautiful sounding reverb and a Looper.....hours of fun!
Thats a cool box of tricks man.
Incredible...
excellent review! this machine os superb
I've been window shopping for a while now ...today this one jumped out, but I wanted to come check with (you) Bill. Yep, this is the one for me. I can lose a box of pedals messing up my mind and get nice and bent with just this one. Thanks, Bill-O (^8
Devin's such a badass
got this pedal rescently mind blown what you can do with it.. ! very good piece of gear!
I continue to use mine quite a bit. Really love the ability to add shimmer to every reverb type.
LOVE this demo! You remind of a Bob Ross! In a soft spoken Ambient way, there are no wrong notes, just puffy lil clouds wherever your want them! :) I really did learn a lot here and appreciate your efforts on sharing info here!
I get the Bob Ross thing a lot. Guess it's all in the delivery. :-) Thanks very much!
Where the hell has this been my entire life , and why am I just finding out about it now ?
Hey Bill: thanks for this review. It's a very interesting pedal with a lot of bang for the buck. It's on my GAS list, (with a Strymon El Capistan, and others). What I like about it especially is the pre-set capability; 24 pre-sets. This is really nice. I find that my other delays, Flashback Triple for instance, there are only the 3 "on-off-pre-set" buttons, so effectively, three presets, but they disappear if you save something over them for the current setting. Plus you can't see what your pre-set is comprised of. That's not a show-stopper, but, well, it's annoying and limiting. So for that reason alone, I'm nudging this Mooer delay up the GAS list.
On the downside, what I'm finding, at my stage of ambient guitar, is that flexibility like "Tone Prints" and "Source Audio Neuro App" etc. make for too many choices, not enough music making. It's easy to get lost for a couple of hours messing around with my LA Lady on the Neuro App, and frankly, I don't get much out of it. Perhaps in years, when my ear for this type of sound is more refined, I'll like being able to dial-in some exact sound. But with my SA Nemesis delay, Flashback Triple delay, and Strymon Dig, plus my Neunaber Immerse and Boss RV-6 reverbs, I have A LOT OF SOUNDS available to me without having to dial in much.
So on the one hand, I'm happy and making nice music, on the other hand, GAS is killing me!
Thanks for your work.........Bill in Colorado
As far as reverb and delay pedals goes in my collection so far the list is: BigSky,BlueSky,Immerse,delays :Flashback Trip,e delay love that one use a lot the Toneprint Ediotr to make my own sound and stack them,next is Alter Ego X4 and Timeline.Believe me I stack all these three reverb and delay pedals and I get some pretty crazy sounds in the good way Ofcourse.But this Ocean machine Doesent sound right to me.Nothing that my others pedals can't recreate better,but that's just me.
Thanks for the response. Wondering: do you stack the reverbs too? I found that multiple reverbs get chaotic, not nice. As for me, I generally have a hard time judging the actual "sound" of a pedal by listening online, through headphones or not so good speakers. But I hear you that you don't like the sound of the Ocean. I A/B'd the Neunaber Immerse vs the Boss RV-6 through my rig and amp, and wow, I thought the sounds of the Immerse were MUCH more pleasant; less metallic; more organic; words can't describe...just "better".
I would agree with you that this pedal perhaps doesn't sound as good as all those pedals put into a line. It is $299 and doesn't even have the high end processors of the BigSky for example. For myself, I'm picking it up for the portability, travel, etc. I have all 4 Eventide Factor pedals and Strymon Timeline, Bigsky, Dig, Riverside. I still see a benefit to this pedal. I'm heavily into sound design and can see applications for even the wackiest delays on the Ocean Machine. Would I have this as my only pedal in my chain for delay / reverb / looping? Not a chance.
The sound of the ocean no I don't like it's not inspiring to me.As far as delays go I need to add the DIG to my Timeline,TC Triple delay and Alter Ego and TC T2 reverb and four reverb and delay pedals are fine enough for me,anyway I only make recordings at my studio I don't p,any in a band so I need different types of reverb and delay algorithms,I need all my tracks to sound as different as possible from one another.
Sounds good to me! I just picked up the TC Triple Delay myself. I think I now have a total of 5 delay pedals... Half of them are setup as send effects from the mixer and aren't specifically in the guitar chain. I use them for synths and modular gear. An update on the Ocean Machine. I've pulled it out of the guitar chain for now, and put it in series with my Prophet 08 since the original Prophet 08 doesn't have any effects. It is opening up a whole new set of sound design possibilities.
Looks like the amazon affiliate link has sold out of the pedal, with a notice that they don't know when or if it will be available again. :(
Cheers for the good review, though. I enjoyed it.
Bummer! Looks like they are only available now from a few small merchants. Hopefully, they will become more available soon.
Good review. The reverse reverb wasn't very dramatic. I thought it might replace my Yamaha SPX-90
Hey Devon, Just subscribed and love the channel and just wanted to say thanks. Really great stuff. I like this unit. I had a Boss Giga delay and sold it years back and I miss it from time to time and now that I have watched this I am on a different trajectory. Played pretty heavy music for years and getting into the sound shaping and ambient as well as Synthesizer sounds. It's all so fun and infinite. I think I will order one of these. If you and anyone else can recommend a few Synth Pedals I would appreciate it. Happy Trails-
I wonder how this Ocean machine will compare to Boss RV500 where you can stack two reverb types with a delay on each one ;)
Just got this unit. Tons of thanks for this helpful review, was just what I needed. Do you happen to have som nice settings you've come up with written down to share with us?
beautiful sound :)
Thanks!
This is definitely an elaborate delay unit. In my opinion, I'd have say it's far more elaborate than the Strymon Timeline.
Actually, I am finding it really easy to dial in patches. Just took one or 2 sessions with it to learn where the controls are.
Bill took up the ambient guitar mantle where Steve Hillage left off
how about the shimmer on this pedal compared to the hall of fame 2?
The shimmer on both pedals is implemented differently. The Hall of Fame has a specific reverb type called shimmer, while the Ocean Machine has a shimmer knob that allows shimmer to be added to each reverb type.
Just a wannabe bass player here, but that pedal sounds great. When the guitar player I’m jamming with has a good reverb, all is right.
Chris Davis `
I admire your guitar, nice instrument.
seems good value for all those options in one box.
I feel like it is, for sure.
Chords Of Orion Its now on my wanted list, one can pick them up in UK for £200.
How is the looper on it? Looking at the EHX 720 but if this looper is sufficient I might pull the trigger.
It is OK for occasional use, but it you are planning on using a looper in a significant way, I would recommend getting a dedicated loop pedal.
Chords Of Orion Thank you!
I like the riff you're playing at 10:13 . Is that your own is it from some other song?
this, for under 300 bucks is crazy!!
So I just found some time to sit and play...this is by far the best pedal I own, I traded my strymon DIG but I don't regret it, this thing replaces the two delay lines of the DIG AND I get a reverb and a looper....loads of fun...JUST BUY ONE!!
Glad you are liking the Ocean Machine!
Sir Davos on the guitar the onion night !!
The Reverb sounds exactly the same as on my Mooer Red Truck. A little on the tinny side.
The Mooer Ocean Machine over Big Sky or Eventide H series? The Mooer Ocean Machine is sounding gooood.
I seriously cannot decide if I should grab this as my main verb and delays or get the Walrus Audio SLO and save for a good delay.
A mexican pedal enthusiast was trying to get this to work and was once heard saying "On delay, on delay!!! 🤣
$300 for a Mooer pedal? I hope they're stepping up their build game at that price point. I've had several of their micropedals, and while they're fun, they're not terribly reliable.
There is a big problem with this pedal ans is the bypass. If you want to activate or bypass the three effects you have to do it one by one. So there is no option to activate or bypass the three effects at the same time.
Ok, Just take my money! I want one. Now I want this and the new sustain pedal. Its the Freqout feedback creator by digitech. These are the best I have seen that are new that I really want! Huhhhh..
sweet!
Hey Mr. M! It is pretty cool. Like I say in the vid, this one is on a different level compared to other Mooer pedals.
Very detailed&interesting review... But I have a question: Recently Wampler made a similar ambient pedal 'Ethereal'. I say similar to the way it produces ambient stuff. Can you please compare those two and maybe suggest which one is more 'ambient' and better sounding (except the fact that Wampler is analog and this is digital) because I've never had those two in my hands. Thanks for your videos... they are most inspiring.
Glad you are liking the vids! I have never played or seen in person and Ethereal, however, I don't think it is that similar to the Ocean Machine, which has 2 discrete delays, a reverb and a looper. Also, the Ethereal is mono, which is not ideal for me. I would more likely compare it to version 1 of the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run, which is more similar combination of effects. All that being said, if Wampler ever sent me, I'd be happy to do a demo of it. Wampler makes great pedals for sure!
Many thanks for the reply... I'm trying to see what is the best choice for the buck. Cause, Ethereal is surprisingly more expensive than Mooer and because of all the other options that Mooer offers I think I'm going for the Ocean Machine at the moment. :) Keep up the good work. Regards from sunny Croatia.
The concept of this pedal is great but it sounds not really natural n kind of really compressed or digital IMO
ok. this is on my christmas shopping list :-) Thanks Bill for the demo! I enjoyed the ink and echoes episode you were a guest on! Cheers, Guido ps: is your all acoustic album still available somewhere?
Glad you enjoyed the demo. The all acoustic album is on Spotify, iTunes, etc. under my name "Bill Vencil". It's called "In the Wilderness". Also, you can download it at billvencil.bandcamp.com
OK, bought the acoustic album, and love what I've heard so far......
Thanks Bill. I truly appreciate the support! I keep thinking "maybe another acoustic album". We'll see...
Can the looper be moved in the chain as well? Manual is unclear.
MOOer Ocean Machine - delaychart is the key Ü
Yup I’m getting one...my wife is gonna be mad at me
She will calm down when she hears the glorious tones! :-)
Yes. I have been assured that I dont need any more pedals.
