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.
