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.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Delay — Delay is an effect that records the guitar signal and plays it back after a short period of time, creating an echo or repeat. By adjusting the time, feedback, and level, delay can add subtle depth and space or produce rhythmic, expressive repeats that enhance lead lines, ambient textures, and overall atmosphere.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. Reverb — Reverb (short for reverberation) is an audio effect that simulates the natural reflections of sound in a physical space. When you play in a room, hall, or cathedral, the sound waves bounce off the walls, ceiling, and floor, creating a sense of depth and ambience. Reverb pedals and processors recreate this effect electronically, allowing guitarists and producers to shape how “big” or “live” their sound feels. From short, springy echoes that mimic vintage amp tanks to lush, atmospheric washes used in ambient or shoegaze music, reverb adds dimension and realism — turning a dry, flat tone into something immersive and expressive..
