(See section Menu ) OPERATION Plug your guitar into the INPUT of the Ocean Machine II and use audio cables to connect to your amplifier. (See section CONNECTION SCENARIOS). Connect the power adapter (9 VDC, 500 mA, center negative) to the DC IN jack. Physical knobs Turn the 12 physical parameter knobs (4 for each of the three effects) to adjust parameters directly. The screen will temporarily display the parameter names and values and then switch back to display information for the active operating mode. Input and Output levels The main interface shows arrow graphics to indicate input and output levels. The color of the arrows indicates the signal status: dark arrow: no signal or signal too week green: signal of moderate strength yellow: signal strength close to the critical value red: signal distortion A red indication should be avoided during operation. Green or yellow indications are okay. 7 1. left input level 2. right input level 3. left output level 4. right output level Modes The Ocean Machine II features two main operation modes for using the delay and reverb effects in different ways (Play Mode and Patch Mode) plus a Looper Mode. The Patch Mode features different interfaces: the Preset Selection screen and the Patch Detail screen. Press the footswitches A and B simultaneously to change the main mode of operation. The active mode is indicated at the top of the screen (Play or Patch). When booting up, the pedal will remember the mode it was in before it was turned off (power supply removed). The labeling of the footswitches corresponds to the functions they perform in different modes: Play mode: Patch (Preset) mode: Tap tempo mode: Looper mode: 8 Play Mode In this mode the Ocean Machine II operates like a traditional effects pedal. You can use the Rev, A and B footswitches as if the effects were individual pedals. The footswitch LED indicate whether the respective effect is ON or OFF. In Play mode, turn the Reverb, DelayA and DelayB knobs to select the effect type for each of the three effect modules. After selecting an effect type, turn the physical knobs at the top of the panel to make quick adjustments to the effect parameters. All of the basic effect parameters can be changed directly by adjusting the respective control knobs. The values of the main effect parameters correspond to the settings indicated by the physical knobs. For some effect types, additional parameters can be set using the Menu button. These are indicated only in the display. (See section Parameter screen.) Additional effect parameters, tempo subdivisions, ping pong effects, sequence of the effects chain, etc. can be edited and adjusted in the menu screen. (See section Menu control.) Display in Play Mode Effects chain Shows the sequence of the effect blocks and the current status of each effect PingPong Use the Menu control to select and activate the PingPong effect for each of the Delay effect blocks. DelayA Time DelayB Time Delay Tempo Use the Menu control to select and edit tempo subdivision values and status. Effect Block Each Effect has its own effect block which displays the effect type, status and the position in the effects chain. Some effect types such as Mod-Rev have additional parameters which can be edited by accessing the effect block. Select an effect block using the Menu control and the effect block parameters will be displayed. Footswitch functions REV / A / B Pressing any of the footswitches once will turn the respective effect (Reverb / DelayA / DelayB) ON or OFF. If one of the effects is active, it will show its selected effect type in the display and the respective footswitch LED ring is lit and, in case of the delays, blinking to indicate the selected tempo. If an effect is not active, the respective LED ring is off and the module in the display shows OFF. 9 Freeze Feedback Holding down any of the footswitches while its respective effect is turned on will put the effect into a state of infinite feedback until the footswitch is released. This can result in oscillating feedback in some cases. The feedback will decay again as soon as the footswitch is released. Note: If you want to use Freeze Feedback in Patch Mode, press the REV and A footswitches simultaneously to switch to Patch Detail screen. Then use the footswitches as described above. Tap Tempo Simultaneously press the REV and A footswitches to access tap tempo control. The green LED ring for the REV footswitch will blink to indicate that the Tap Tempo Mode is active. The blinking rate indicates the speed of the MASTER TAP TEMPO. The Screen will show the BMP value of the Master Tap Tempo. You will then have a few seconds to enter your desired tempo by tapping a footswitch at least two times. Values for automatic tempo subdivision can be set for each delay separately by accessing the TempoA and TempoB fields in the main screen. (See section Tempo subdivisions.) REV footswitch = Master Tap Tempo: Tapping the REV footswitch sets the Master Tap Tempo for DelayA and DelayB simultaneously. The subdivision settings for DelayA (TempoA) and DelayB (TempoB) will then be applied to the Master Tap Tempo. The Master Tap Tempo has no effect on DelayA or DelayB if the subdivision settings are set to OFF. While setting the Master Tap Tempo, the display screen shows the BPM value for the Master Tap Tempo and the blinking rate of the Reverb LED ring also indicates the tempo. You can set the value by rotating the Menu knob or by tapping the REV footswitch several times. A footswitch = Sets an individual tap tempo for DelayA. 10 B footswitch = Sets an individual tap tempo for DelayB. The BPM value for each tempo is indicated in the display and the respective footswitch LED blinks to indicate the selected tempo. The top line of the display screen shows the tempo values for DelayA and DelayB in milliseconds. The tap tempo mode is automatically closed after 3 seconds without tapping. The LED ring of the REV footswitch will then stop blinking. The LED rings of the A and B footswitches will continue blinking in the selected tempo. Menu control Navigation Press the Menu knob once and rotate it to navigate the menu screen. The selected module or parameter is highlighted by a blue frame. Press the Menu knob to access the respective parameter screen for each module. Rotate and press Menu to select and edit parameters (only those not controlled by physical knobs) or to set states. Press the Home button to return to the main menu screen (main interface for Play Mode or Patch Mode). The Menu knob will then act as a master mix control. Master Mix When the main interface (Play or Patch Mode) is displayed and no module is selected (highlighted), rotate the Menu knob to adjust the master output effect mix of the Ocean Machine II (ratio of the effect signal / dry signal), with 100 being the maximum effect volume and 0 being completely dry sound output. In Play mode, adjust the Master Mix by turning the Menu knob. In Patch mode, you can adjust it by turning the Menu knob in the Preset Selection Screen and in the Patch Details screen. Parameter screen The parameter screen is opened by selecting a module by pushing the Menu knob once, then rotating it to highlight the desired module and then pushing the Menu knob again to open the module. 11 The top row in the display shows the selected effect type. The section below shows the parameters for this type. In Play Mode, the indicated parameters correspond to the physical settings of the knobs. The main parameters can only be adjusted by rotating the corresponding knobs. The parameter values are indicated as dials and digital readouts (in percent). "Hidden" parameters Some effect types (e.g. "Dist-Verb" or "Crystal Delay") may have additional parameters that have no physical knobs and can only be selected and adjusted using the Menu knob. Rotate the Menu knob to select the additional parameter (highlighted by a blue frame), then press Menu to access the parameter (highlighted by a red frame) and then rotate Menu to adjust the parameter. Press Menu again to return to parameter selection. Note: If you are in Patch Mode, press REV and A footswitches simultaneously to open the Patch Detail mode. You can then adjust the parameters as described above. Return to the main screen by pressing the Home button. PingPong effect The PingPong effect will alternate the delay repeats between the right and left side in a stereo panorama. Use the Menu knob to select the PingPong field in the bottom row of the main screen and push Menu to open the PingPong screen. Use the Menu knob to select and activate/deactivate the PingPong effect for DelayA and/or DelayB. Return to the main screen by pressing the Home button. 12 In Patch mode, first step on the REV and A footswitches simultaneously to open the Patch Detail screen, then use the steps above to set the PingPong effect. Tempo subdivisions For DelayA or DelayB, tempo subdivisions will be applied to the tap tempo that was entered for each individual delay or to the Master Tap Tempo entered with the help of the Reverb footswitch. Example: If TempoA is set to 1/2, the tempo for DelayA will be half of the tap tempo value. Use the Menu knob to select one of the TempoA or TempoB fields in the bottom row of the main menu screen and push Menu to open the respective screen. Push Menu to activate / deactivate subdivisions for the tempo of DelayA or DelayB. Rotate the Menu knob to select the desired subdivision (if activated). Return to the main screen by pressing the Home button. The selected subdivision (or OFF status) is indicated in the respective Tempo field for DelayA or DelayB. Note: Tempo OFF state is fixed to 1/4 by default. Positioning effects in the signal chain The effect modules and the Looper module can be positioned in series in the signal chain. This is indicated by showing the modules behind each other in the menu screen. Delay and Reverb effects can also be positioned in parallel to each other. This in indicated by two modules shown on top of each other in the menu screen. The Looper module can only be used in series in the effect chain. Use the Menu knob to highlight the effect module you wish to move (blue frame). Hold the Menu knob down and rotate it to move the effect module to the desired position. Release the Menu knob to confirm effect module placement. In Patch mode, first step on the REV and A footswitches simultaneously to open the Patch Detail screen, then move the module as described above. 13 Storing settings as preset All setting configurations can be saved as presets for later recall in Patch Mode. Press the Store button. The screen will show a preset number indicating the bank number (1-8) followed by a letter for the Preset (A-C). Rotate the Menu knob to select a preset slot where you want to save your settings. You can also use the A and B footswitches to select a slot. Press the Save button one more time to confirm or press Home to cancel the saving process. Note: Previously saved settings in the selected slot will be overridden. Patch Mode In this mode, the Ocean Machine II recalls saved presets. The OMII features 8 banks with 3 presets each, for a total of 24 presets. All main effect parameter values correspond to the values saved in the preset, not to the values indicated on the respective physical knobs. The parameter values will revert to the value indicated on a physical knob as soon as an adjustment is made on the respective knob. During adjustments, a temporary digital readout of the adjusted value is shown in the respective effect field in the display. Adjusted values must be saved in the preset or they will return to the previously stored value as soon as the preset is changed. Other effect parameters such as additional parameters, relative tempos, ping pong effect, sequence of effects in the chain, etc. can all be edited the same way as in Play Mode. (See section Menu control.) Note: All changes must be stored in the preset or they will get lost as soon as the preset is switched. Rotating the Menu knob will adjust the Master Mix. Pressing the Menu knob opens the Patch Detail screen to allow the same adjustments as in Play Mode. (See section Play Mode.) 14 Footswitch functions REV (Bypass) in Preset Selection screen: - activates the pedal, footswitch LED for effects that are active in the selected preset are lit A and B LED rings blink to indicate the respective tempo the preset number in the display is shown in blue - or switches the pedal to global bypass, all effects are switched to bypass all footswitch LED rings are off the preset number in the display is shown in white in Patch Detail screen: - activates / deactivates the Reverb effect Press REV + A footswitches simultaneously to toggle between the Preset Selection screen and the Patch Detail screen.

Press the Save button one more time to confirm or press Home to cancel the saving process. Note: Previously saved settings in the selected slot will be overridden. LOOPER The Ocean Machine II pedal features a Looper with up to 120 seconds of recording time, overdubbing, independent level control, full featured half speed + reverse effects and no limit to the number of recorded tracks. Press the Looper button on the panel to access the Looper mode from any other mode. Track Playback Time Playback volume Playback progress bar Preset Number (PL in Play Mode) Status: OFF / REC / DUB / PLAY / STOP / CLEAR 17 Operation Menu knob Rotate Menu to adjust the Looper playback volume level. This is independent from the master mix. REC / PLAY / DUB / STOP / CLEAR (REV footswitch) With an empty track: Tap once for Record, tap again for Play, tap again for Dub... Double-tap for Stop (when Looper is in Play mode) Hold for Clear All (when Looper is in Stop Mode) LED indication: o Off: nothing recorded (e.g. after Clear All) o Blinking slowly: the Looper is recording or over dubbing o Continuously lit: the Looper is playing back o Blinking quickly: the Looper is in Stop-Mode HALF SPEED (A footswitch) Half-Speed on / off When half-speed is active, the footswitch LED is lit and the status is indicated in the screen. REVERSE (B footswitch) Reverse loop on / off (this effect is available after the first loop was recorded) When reverse loop is active, the footswitch LED is lit and the status is indicated in the screen. Notes: When the Looper is recording and the first layer of recording is full, the Looper will automatically switch to Dub (and record the next layer). While the Looper is operating, you can go back and forth between the Looper and your current operation mode by pressing the Looper button. You cannot change the operating mode (i.e. use A + B footswitches to switch between Play and Patch) while in Looper mode. If the Looper is playing and the pedal is in Play Mode, the loop will continue playing, even if all effects are turned off. In Patch Mode, however, the playback will be muted, if the pedal is switched to global bypass (REV footswitch). Looper positioning The Looper can be placed at different positions in the effects chain. (See section Positioning effects in the signal chain) In front of the chain, the Looper will record (and then play) the dry signal directly from the input. This can be used to record a dry signal of the instrument and apply Delay / Reverb effects after the Loop was recorded. This "clean" recording can then be moved further back in the chain so different or no effects (end of chain) will be applied to the loop as compared to the live input from the instrument. In the middle of the chain, the Looper will record any effects that have been applied to the signal before the Looper position. These effects will remain recorded in the loop and always be audible even if the recorded loop is moved in the signal chain and even if all effects on the pedal are 18 turned off after the recording was made. At the end of the chain, the Looper will record the wet sound of the entire effects chain. SETTINGS MENU Press the Settings button to open the menu screen for global settings. These settings are not stored within the presets and are effective regardless of the selected operation mode or the selected preset. Press the Setting button to enter the settings menu. Press the Home button to return to the main menu screen (main interface for Play Mode or Patch Mode). Rotate the Menu knob to navigate the settings menu. Press the Menu knob to access parameter screens, enter parameters and set states. F4 Pairing Ocean Machine II supports the MOOER F4 wireless footswitch for external control options. Use this setting to pair your Ocean Machine II with an optional wireless MOOER F4 series footswitch. Turn the F4 wireless footswitch on and long press the A + C footswitches on the F4 simultaneously to put it into pairing mode. The F4 LED will flash to indicate "ready for pairing" status. Select "F4 Pairing" in the Settings screen and press the Menu knob for pairing. The "F4 Pairing" label turns green to indicate that the pairing is in progress. After successful pairing, the label changes to "F4 Paired". Once paired, the wireless footswitch will automatically connect to the OMII as soon as both devices are turned on. After successful pairing, F4 footswitch display shows "PL" for Play Mode or the current preset number in Patch Mode. The four footswitches on the F4 wireless pedal perform the following functions: 19 Footswitch A: Master Tap Tempo, the LED flashes to indicate the selected tempo Footswitch B: Tap Tempo for Delay A, the LED flashes to indicate the selected BPM value Footswitch C: Tap Tempo for Delay B, the LED flashes to indicate the selected BPM value Footswitch D: Switches all modules into bypass, only the dry signal is put out (works in Play and Patch modes). LED is off in BYPASS. Step on D again to re-activate the previously active modules. The LED will be lit to indicate ACTIVE mode. Bypass & Trail Use this screen to select the bypass type (DSP or True bypass). Note: When the INPUT has only LEFT/MONO connected, but the OUTPUT has both LEFT/MONO and RIGHT connected, the system will automatically switch to DSP bypass. The user can select between DSP and True bypass if both inputs are connected or if only one input and one output are connected. Bypass type DSP bypass (Digital Signal Processing) buffers the signal in the bypass. True bypass does not buffer the signal and provides a direct connection between input and output. Rotate the Menu knob to select the Bypass field. Press the Menu knob to select the desired bypass type (True or DSP). Trails Trails can only be activated when DSP bypass is selected. With Trails active the repeats of the delay effects or the echo of the reverb effect are allowed to naturally decay after the respective effect has been switched off, but no new repeats or echoes will be generated. With Trails deactivated the repeats of the delay effects or the reverbs echoes will be cut off as soon as the respective effect is switched off. Rotate the Menu knob to select the Trail field. Press the Menu knob switch Trail On/Off. Exp. Use this page to select which parameter is controlled by an external expression pedal and adjust the minimum value for the parameter when the expression pedal is in the heel down position (in case you do not want the minimum value to be zero). 20 Rotate the Menu knob to select which parameter you want the expression pedal to control. This will be a global setting and cannot be changed per preset. Press the Menu knob to confirm your selection. The selected Parameter will be highlighted in red. (Note: P1 and P2 in are the two hidden parameters in the effect model, such as Dist and Level for "Dist-Verb") Select the "Min Value" field at the bottom of this screen to change the minimum value in percent that is applied to the effect when the expression pedal is in the heel down position. Calibrate When connecting an expression pedal for the first time or when you find that the pedal is not working properly, it is recommended to calibrate the pedal. An expression pedal only needs to be calibrated once. You only need to re-calibrate when you switch expression pedals. Use this screen to calibrate the connected expression pedal. Follow the instructions on the screen. For best results, use an expression pedal with a max potentiometer resistance of 10 k - 50 k. Use a 1/4" TRS (stereo) cable to connect your expression pedal and your OMII. To calibrate your pedal: Open the Calibrate screen in the OMII settings menu. Open your expression pedal all the way to the "heel down" position. Press Menu on the OMII to calibrate the minimum value. Close your expression pedal all the way to the "toe down" position. Press Menu on the OMII again to calibrate the maximum value. This completes the calibration process. Press Home to return to the main screen. Note: If an error is prompted during calibration, please check the following: The expression pedal is properly connected with a 3-wire TRS connecting cable and the cable is not damaged. The value for the heel down position should always be smaller than the value for the toe down position (the value in Step 1 should be smaller than Step 2). IN & OUT Use this screen to adjust the global input and output levels. Press the Menu knob to change between Input level (IN) and Output level (OUT). Rotate the Menu knob to adjust the level. 21 Merge With Merge activated, trails (repeats and echoes) of the delays and reverb will blend into each other when the effect type or a preset is changed. Press the Menu knob to switch Merge on/off. Global EQ The Ocean Machine II is equipped with a Global EQ section which will affect both your dry guitar signal and the sound of the effects. This can be switched on or off. The Global EQ can be used for quick adjustments to accommodate the sound conditions at the venue. Global EQ settings are independent of presets and affect all presets. Rotate the Menu knob to select the On/OFF field or the parameter you wish to change (blue frame). Press the Menu knob to adjust the selected parameter (red frame). Rotate the Menu knob to change value. Press the Menu knob again to finish adjustments (blue frame). 1 2 4 3 1. ON/OFF: Switches the Global EQ on or off 2. L.FREQ: Adjustable low frequency cut.

You will be prompted to press again for confirmation. Select NO or press the Home button to cancel the factory reset procedure. Note: A reset will delete your stored presets and set them back to factory settings. EXPRESSION PEDAL An external expression pedal can be used to control various parameters of the Ocean Machine II. Use a 1/4" TRS (stereo) cable to connect an expression pedal to the EXP input of the OMII. For best results, use an expression pedal with a maximum potentiometer resistance of 10 k ~ 50 k. You can select the parameters which the expression pedal controls on the Exp. screen in the Settings menu (see section SETTINGS MENU). Please calibrate your expression pedal before you use it for the first time on your OMII. (See section Calibrate in the Settings menu) WIRELESS FOOTSWITCH The Ocean Machine II supports a wireless footswitch of the MOOER F4 series (to be purchased separately). Please consult the manual for the F4 footswitch for battery specs and charging requirements. Please see section SETTINGS - F4 Pairing for information about establishing a connection between OM II and the F4 footswitch. Once paired, the wireless footswitch will automatically connect to the OMII as soon as both devices are turned on. The Ocean Machine II can only be connected to one wireless footswitch at a time. The F4 wireless footswitch can be used to perform the following functions: 23 Footswitch A: Master Tap Tempo, the LED flashes to indicate the selected tempo Footswitch B: Tap Tempo for Delay A, the LED flashes to indicate the selected BPM value Footswitch C: Tap Tempo for Delay B, the LED flashes to indicate the selected BPM value Footswitch D: Switches all modules into bypass, only the dry signal is put out (works in Play and Patch modes). LED is off in BYPASS. Step on D again to re-activate the previously active modules. The LED will be lit to indicate ACTIVE mode. The Display on the wireless footswitch will indicate the Preset number in Patch Mode or "PL" in Play Mode. If the Effects are active on the OMII, the LED on the wireless footswitch will blink to indicate their respective tempo. MIDI TABLES The Ocean Machine II can receive MIDI signals but cannot generate its own MIDI commands. Incoming MIDI commands can be routed through the OMII to the MIDI TRU port and forwarded to other devices. Incoming Program Change signals (PC) can be used to recall presets. Incoming Control Change signals (CC) can be used to switch effects on/off, control parameter values, etc. (See table below.)
