L INPUT Jack
–
This ¼” jack is
either the mono audio input or the left
stereo input to the Oceans 12. In mono, the input impedance is
1M
.
In
stereo, the input impedance is
2M
.
R INPUT Jack
–
This is the right input jack in a stereo setup. This input
can also be the RETURN signal if using SEND/RETURN mode (see page
15). The input impedance is
2M
.
L OUT Jack
–
Use this output for a mono setup. In a stereo setup this is
your left output. The output impedance is
550
.
R OUT Jack
–
This is the right output jack in a stereo setup. This output
can also be the SEND signal if using SEND/RETURN mode (see page 15).
The output impedance is
550
.
Combo EXP/FSW Jack
–
This input jack accepts either an expression
pedal or an external footswitch. The Oceans 12 can automatically
differentiate which of the two is connected.
EXP
–
Connect an expression pedal with a TRS plug to this jack to allow
external control over any o
f the Oceans 12’s knobs, or use it like a volume
pedal on the dry signal before it hits the reverb effects. See page 31 for a
description on how to set up and control the Oceans 12 with an external
expression pedal.
The polarity of the expression pedal’s plug must have the
sleeve connected
to the heel position (usually GND), Ring connected to the toe position and
the Tip connected to the wiper. The nominal expression pedal impedance
is 10kΩ though most other values wi
ll work fine. Please do not go below
6kΩ on your expression pedal’s potentiometer impedance. Some
suggested Expression Pedals: EHX Expression Pedal, M-Audio

EX-P,
Moog

EP-2 and EP-3, Roland
®
EV-5 or Boss

FV-500L. Additionally, the
EXP IN jack can be connected to a CV source using a TS plug; the
acceptable control voltage range is 0V to 5V.
