Seafarer Complex Nautical Reverb

Empty Head Effects Seafarer

Explore the infinite expanse of the sonic ocean with Seafarer from Empty Head Effects, a complex reverb with the character and behavior of the raging oceanic waters. The magic of Seafarer starts at its random wave modulation, which effects several parameters including pitch and tremolo. The depth of this modulation can be defined by onboard potentiometers, giving you plenty of range between subtle variations and dramatic random warbles. Set the reverb length with the Ocean Size control, which works in tandem with the second footswitch, which will momentarily extend the reverb length ad infinitum—or at least until the footswitch is released. Add grit to your reverb with the Oxygen parameter, which adds a soft clipping diode distortion to the reverb for a saturated reverb sound. Mutate the timbre of your reverb using the internal low pass filter, the movement of which is informed by an internal LFO, or can be disengaged altogether. This low pass filter can also be controlled manually using the EXT input for affecting it directly with an external controller. All of this amounts to a reverb sound that is unlike any other; capturing all the gorgeous chaos of the colossal ocean. If you so choose to explore that endless watery abyss, take heed, and do not go it alone—bring a companion as stalwart as the Seafarer from Empty Head Effects.
