EarthQuaker Devices Sea Machine V3 Super Chorus Guitar Effect Pedal

The Sea Machine chorus pedal offers an ocean of modulation possibilities that stretch far beyond traditional chorus territory. This versatile effects unit features a variable waveshape LFO with Shape, Rate, and Depth controls, allowing you to sculpt everything from smooth triangle waves to choppy square wave modulation. The extended delay line opens up uncharted sonic waters with its comprehensive control set.

The delay section houses the pedal’s most distinctive features through its Dimension, Animate, and Intensity controls. Dimension adds subtle slapback at low settings, reverb-like ambience at mid-levels, and can push into self-oscillating echo-resonance when maxed out. The Animate control serves as the pedal’s crown jewel, ranging from gentle double-tracked thickening to extreme pitch swings that venture into sonar-like oscillations reminiscent of awakening sea monsters.

From classic Leslie tones and subtle warble to seasick pitch bends and alien soundscapes, the Sea Machine covers vast sonic ground while maintaining clarity when stacked after fuzz, overdrive, or distortion pedals. Bass players seeking that quintessential 80s post-punk sound will find particular value in this pedal’s capabilities. Built in Akron, Ohio, the Sea Machine features true-bypass operation with silent relay switching and a transparent buffer that preserves your dry signal’s integrity.
