Source Audio’s 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.

Key Features

  • Ambient Gateway – The Encounter comes loaded with 6 onboard Delay engines (Noise Tape, Resonant, Drum Echo, Echoverb, Kaleidoscope and Helix) as well as 6 Reverbs (Hypersphere, Shimmers, TremVerb, Reverse, Lo-Fi and Swell). Reverbs and Delays can be used together, as well as dual reverb and dual delay.
  • Analogue Dry Through – Keep your signal path pure with the Encounters’ completely analogue dry through signal path. Perfect for keeping the dynamics, harmonics and overtones of your signal intact.
  • Built For Any Rig – With 8 Presets accessible via onboard controls and 128 presets available via MIDI, multiple expression control options, as well as a versatile mix knob and global Kill-Dry mode, integrating the Encounter to any rig couldn’t be simpler.
  • USB Editing – Connect the Encounter via USB to the Neuro desktop or mobile app for even more editing capabilities as well as downloadable presets and more!

Unrivalled Versatility

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.

New Engines

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.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Reverb

A reverb pedal is like the rich sauce that ties every flavour on the plate into one smooth experience. It adds depth, warmth, and atmosphere — the sonic equivalent of a perfectly reduced glaze that lingers on the tongue. Whether you’re after the subtle ambience of a cosy café (spring or plate reverb) or the grand echoes of a cathedral (hall or shimmer reverb), this is where your tone breathes and expands. A touch of reverb can turn a dry sound into something lush and inviting — but pour on too much, and it’s all you can taste. Used with finesse, it’s the finishing touch that transforms your tone from plain to unforgettable.
