When we took a look at the Oceans 11, we were aware that its lack of stereo outputs could be a dealbreaker for some potential users. 

Now, Electro-Harmonix is back with a version that can not only run in stereo if required but actually features two simultaneous, independent stereo reverb engines, A and B, which can run in series or parallel should you wish to use both together.
