A mono long tailed reverb pedal with Random Wave Pitch Modulation, Random Wave Tremolo ( creating stuttering old tape effects) plus a low Pass Filter controlled by an LFO, potentiometer or external exp control.
Conceptually, Seafarer plays with sounds and feeling of falling overboard at night in the middle of a dark sea.

A truly different and paradigm shifting reverb...
I know. Powerful claim.
But I buy, sell, and trade a whole lot of pedals in my near mad quest to perfectly outfit my sound lab for what I do, and...
...this reverb will never get sold or traded away.
Simply, it's different. And better. And more nuanced. And significantly more textured, ethereal, atmospheric, and just plain useful. Anymore, reverbs and delays I end up adoring and keeping invariably have some element of randomness to them, and Seafarer is no exception...
...a perfect blend of aesthetics (yep, they matter to me), build quality, clever labeling, elaborate control scheme (but no menu diving), remarkably rich gain circuit, incredible LFO and modulation, and... probably THE best ramping swell function I've yet heard in a pedal.
Honestly, the kind of pedal where I feel like I got the far better end of the deal for the price.
If you're a reverb freak, well... you're remiss without this one, mate.

Take to the seas!
This reverb is excellent for lofi textures. Between the drive, random tremolo, LFO, low pass filter, and chorus, you can build amazing ambient soundscapes. Definitely a keeper for me!

One of the best dirty reverbs!
Empty Head has done it again - the Seafarer is never leaving my board. This can go from a clean, spacey, slightly modulated reverb to an earth shattering wall of noise. This pedal will eliminate your need for a post-verb drive…if that’s your thing. It does the lo-fi thing exceptionally well. I’ve bumped several pedals off now that the Seafarer covers those sounds. Yup, it’s large, but it’ll take the job of at least 3-4 pedals in your rig. Just get one!
