New Source Audio Delay + Reverb Pedal

Source Audio says that their new Encounter Ambient Delay+Reverb is a fully-loaded vessel of atmospheric discovery, thoughtfully designed to explore swirling celestial tones and deeply immersive soundscapes. Here's more details direct from the company...

Encounter is more than just a delay and reverb pedal, it's a gateway to atmospheric soundscapes. Based on the legendary Collider Delay + Reverb, Encounter sports a similar layout, while adding a wide-ranging collection of new and otherworldly delay and reverb effects.  

Packing a mix of brand-new sounds and reimagined favourites from Source Audio's range of delay and reverb pedals, Encounter is sure to conjure up a wealth of ambient sounds.

Main Features:

• Stereo Ambient Delay and Reverb Effects Pedal
• Analog Dry Through Path
• 6 onboard Delay engines: Noise Tape, Resonant, Drum Echo, Echoverb, Kaleidoscope and Helix
• 6 onboard Reverb engines: Hypersphere, Shimmers, TremVerb, Reverse, Lo-Fi and Swell
• 8 Presets accessible via onboard controls and 128 presets available via MIDI
• Mix knob - for adjusting between 100% Wet/Dry Balance plus global Kill-Dry Mode
• Input with selector switch for selecting external control source (EXP/Switch)
• Delay Footswitch doubles as a Tap Tempo control
• Sub-Division control switch for the Delay (quarter note/dotted eighth note/triplets)
• Stereo Inputs and Outputs
• Mini USB Port for connecting to Neuro 3.0, Source Audio's preset editing software
• MIDI IN and MIDI THRU connections
• 3.5 mm control port - for connecting compatible Source Audio control devices
• Switchable True or Analog Buffered Bypass
• Included 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm TRS cable to connect to mobile devices
• Powered by (included) 9V DC power supply
• (centre -, 2,1 mm, ~280 mA current draw)

 

All six delay and six reverb engines can be used individually or in pairs (that includes dual delay or dual reverb combinations) with full MIDI functionality and stereo ins & outs. Routing options include series, parallel, or split stereo. Each footswitch engages or disengages its own effect, essentially providing the functionality of two separate pedals in one unit.

The new engines such as the Hypersphere reverb, Kaleidoscope delay, and Shimmers are among the most beautiful and imaginative in Source Audio's history. Returning effects such as Reverse, Lo-Fi, and Swell reverbs, along with the Helix, Drum Echo, and Resonant delays, have been reimagined and enhanced with expanded parameter controls, unlocking limitless sonic possibilities and creative potential.
