EarthQuaker Devices Sea Machine V3 is a chorus pedal that gives you an unprecedented measure of control over its parameters. Sporting EarthQuaker’s proprietary digital-analog hybrid circuitry, Sea Machine V3’s extended delay time gives you standout chorusing effects topped off with dramatic shimmer. Sea Machine V3 is based around a short digital delay line, with controls for Animation, Dimension, and Depth. From there, knobs for Shape, Rate, and Intensity let you craft and fine-tune your chorus effect to perfection. This third-generation edition of the Sea Machine boasts improved circuitry for better sonic performance, more range on almost every knob, and silent, relay-based switching. If you’ve ever chorused your guitar (or keyboard, bass, or what have you), get ready for an ear-opening experience when you plug in to EarthQuaker Devices’ Sea Machine V3.
Smart controls for effect fine-tuning
Sea Machine V3’s Animate knob gives you control over delay time, while Dimension adjusts the amount of spatial regeneration, and Depth adjusts your wet/dry signal mix. The LFO section of the Sea Machine V3 includes Rate, Intensity, and Shape controls. Rate sets the speed of the oscillator, Intensity adjusts how much the LFO modulates the delayed signal, and Shape transforms the waveform from a soft triangle to a hard square wave. An LED shows the speed and shape of the LFO, even with the effect bypassed.
A world of modulation underfoot
It’s Sea Machine V3’s palette of controls, both standard and proprietary, that makes it unique – and eminently useful for everything from understated warble and classic Leslie effects to roller-coaster pitch bends, condensed arpeggiations, outrageous alien soundscapes, and more! When engaged, Sea Machine V3’s transparent buffer leaves your dry, all-analog signal crystal clear and untouched. EarthQuaker Devices designed Sea Machine V3 to play nicely with the other pedals in your signal chain without distorting, attenuating volume, or inducing mud.
