What you will learn:
Is this different than other pedals?
What was the cost of the device?
Does this work with any amp?
How does this sound?
Can anyone use this effects unit?
Does it 'Djent'?
The Mooer Ocean Machine might be one of those devices that you see and then go out and buy it. That's 'OK' BUT (there usually is one). You're no Devin Townsend (and neither am I) and you wind up with the Ocean Machine and wonder what on earth you might do with it. Oh you're a 'Djent' fiend? Hmmm might be a problem... You're the next (put whatever name you want here) guitarist - well even you might have a problem...
You see, the Mooer Ocean Machine is no simple pedal and that's a fact. But in it's own way, this very specialized pedal is possibly one of the best effects units you can buy and it could conceivably change how you write music forever. You don't have to play a guitar to use it! It might work very well on so many other things - even vocals.
So what is this thing? Its an effects unit, but it loves ambience of tones and atmospheric parts of music that many can't really envisage. This unit will expand your mind and you WILL HEAR things that you claimed that you could never write, and create (with work!) those ambient tones that before were out of reach.
Its not a pedal for everyone - I take you through the inside and out reviews that I am known for - and I discuss the Air pedal and other features and the many benefits of this pedal. Lastly I 'play' some examples of the presets in the unit... now then, play is a funny word because I don't come from this style of music... but I reckon with a bit of practice I could write serious ambient and atmospheric tones and breaks in the rock music I usually play.
I do cover most stuff one way or another and if you are considering buying one of these devices then this video will open your eyes to the complexity and overall features and benefits of what exactly it is you will be buying.
