Overview
If you are looking for a reverb pedal that has more to offer than the typical Hall, Plate, and spring reverb then you will find that with the Oceans 11. The name of this pedal was named because it has 11 different reverb effects built into it.
While you have the basic reverb effects that you would want there are also a lot more effects than can be achieved with this pedal. If you look in the sound demo section you find samples of what each effect sounds like. For $176 you are definitely getting a lot for the money compared to other reverb pedals out there.

Sounds
Here below is what each setting is meant to do. This is pulled directly from Electro Harmonix’s website.
HALL – the rich reverberant sound of a grand concert hall
SPRING – pays homage to the classic Fender® 6G15 tube spring reverb
PLATE – the lush, warm reverb that got its name because a large metal plate was originally used to create it
REVRS – emulates the quirky reverse reverb effect where a note’s reverb fades-in backwards. (Jimmy Page claims to have invented it.)
ECHO –sends a recirculating echo thru the Plate reverb. The crisp clear delays get tastefully smudged by the airy plate reverb
TREM – reverb plus tremolo that’s applied to both the wet and dry mix of a Hall reverb, your choice of three different tremolo shapes
MOD – modulated reverb, three modes. Chorus laced onto the reverb tails creates a luscious atmospheric effect. Flanger wraps around the reverb tails and weaves a hypnotic tapestry. Chorus and flanger combined.
DYNA – Swell, gate and duck. Swell silences your notes’ attacks before blooming the tails back into the soundscape. Gate passes the reverb tail thru a noise gate that opens when it detects playing. (Phil Collins popularized the technique by applying it to drums.) Duck compresses the reverb tail while you’re playing and fades it back in when you’re resting.
AUTO-INF – Auto-infinite reverb that triggers a reverb wash for each note or chord. When a new one is struck, the previously resounding reverb crossfades to the new one
SHIM – Shimmer generates a rich octave-shifted reverb wash that modulates and blossoms behind your signal
POLY – Polyphonic reverb, two configurable bi-directional pitch shifts operating on your pre-reverb signal. Combine dissonant intervals with near infinite decays to create disorienting soundtracks, or choose perfect/major intervals to generate creative harmonies when jumping around a key signature
Conclusion
In conclusion after using this pedal for the last three weeks, I really enjoy the versatility that this pedal offers. I’m able to get ambient guitar tones and simple reverb effects that sound great. The only effect that I’m not a huge fan of is the tremolo setting because it just sounds very jarring and not natural.
Therefore, if you are wanting a reverb pedal that does more than just a simple reverb effect then you won’t have to look further than this pedal right here.
