Oceans 11 Reverb : A toy ? Maybe, but an honestly good one!

This one has bad critics around me. "A toy for newbies" or so they say. Well I have been playing guitar for 40 years ans if it might sound true for many EHX products, I still find this Ocean 11 a really fun one, sometimes spectacular, and always enjoyable. And it is very good for the price tag (a quarter of the Strymon Big Sky's price)

I use this manly for shimmer and dripping spring reverb but find the other sound less usable with a clean guitar mainly because of some unnatural end tails. I sometimes use this with a second almost quiet hall or plate reverb after this one, to blur successfully some harshness in the sound.

They are also some unique types of reverb, the kind seldom found elsewhere and I must confess I still can't master the wealth of multi function controls without keeping the manual close.
