Product Information 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. Features Universal Bypass: Select either analog buffered or relay based true bypass. Analog Dry Through: The dry signal is routed around the signal processor for a completely unaffected dry tone (available only with Parallel Routing). 100% Wet Option: A dry kill option for use in effects loops. Complete MIDI Functionality: Engage any of the Encounter's 128 preset or control any of its adjustable parameters with external MIDI messages. Includes 5-pin MIDI DIN input and through jacks Expression Control: Assign expression control to any combination of knobs and program the depth and direction of each. 6 Delay Effects: Noise Tape Resonant Drum Echo EchoVerb Kaleidoscope Helix 6 Reverb Effects: Hypersphere Shimmers TremVerb Reverse Lo-Fi
