Source Audio Encounter Ambient Delay / Reverb Effects Pedal

The Source Audio Encounter is more than just a combination delay and reverb effects pedal-it is a fully loaded vessel of atmospheric discovery, thoughtfully designed to explore swirling celestial tones and deeply immersive soundscapes. The pedal features a control surface similar to Source Audio's now-legendary Collider Delay+Reverb, but while the Collider focused on classic sounds, the Encounter offers a wide-ranging collection of otherworldly and never-before-heard delay and reverb effects. 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 Encounter Ambient Delay+Reverb's collection of effect engines features a powerful mix of brand-new sounds and modernized favorites from Source Audio's award-winning Ventris Dual Reverb and Nemesis Delay. New engines such as the Hypersphere reverb (which imagines the reverberations heard from an ever-expanding room free of walls, ceiling, or floor), Kaleidoscope delay (a cascading, harp-like effect), and Shimmers (a dual-pitched shimmer effect) are among the most beautiful and imaginative in Source Audio's history.
