Product Description
Source Audio NEMESIS DELAY
Multi-Engine Stereo Delay
The NEMESIS Delay is the culmination of three years of intense research, listening, and engineering. The mission was to create a compact, powerful, and easy-to-use delay pedal with unrivaled tone, flexibility, and style. NEMESIS offers 26 distinct effect engines ranging from vintage tape and analog delays to highly advanced pitch-shifting, reverse, filter modulating, and rhythmic delays. It also features 128 presets, multiple delay taps, a hold function, tap tempo, full MIDI control, deep editing functionality with the Neuro Mobile App, and much more.
Main Features:
- Stereo Reverb effects pedal
- Allows use of 2 reverb engines simultaneously
- 12 onboard delay engines
- Slapback: short single-repeat echo based on early tape delay machines
- Digital: classic clear digital delay with optional delay time modulation
- Diffuse: delay line with a diffusion effect that smears the attack of the repeated signal, reminiscent of classic “oil can”
- Analog: sound of classic bucket brigade analog delays – warm, resonant and increasingly lo-fi
- Tape: detailed re-creation of classic moving-head tape delays that captures the characteristic flutter, warmth, and color
- Noise Tape: detailed re-creation of classic fixed-head tape delays with grittier and darker repeats, capturing the sound of old or damaged tape.
- Degrade: primitive Lo-Fi digital delay with bit crushing and sample rate reduction, distortion, noise, and aliasing.
- Shifter: delay with polyphonic pitch-shifting on the delayed signal (octave up or down, minor or major 3rds, 4ths, and 5ths)
- Helix: angelic delay effect combines reverse delay with an octaver to create a strange, shimmering delay that disappears into the upper frequency range.
- Reverse: creates several overlapping reversed delays that fade in and fade out regularly to create a pulsing tremolo effect
- Sweeper: slow resonant low pass filter sweep across the frequency range, creating an undulating synth-like effect in the repeats
- Rhythmic: allows for the creation of a wide variety of rhythmic patterns in the delay effect
- Additional engines and deep customization features accessible online via Source Audio Neuro App and Desktop Editor
- 8 Presets accessible via onboard controls, 120 more presets recallable via MIDI
- Mix knob – for adjusting between 100% Wet/Dry Balance plus global Kill-Dry Mode
- EXP/Switch input with selector switch for selecting external control source between Switch EXP pedal)
- Stereo Inputs and outputs – for multiple advanced routing options
- Tap Tempo with dedicated footswitch and Sub-Divisions (quarter note/dotted eight note/triplets)
- MIDI IN and MIDI THRU connections
- Mini USB Port for PC connectivity (Windows and Mac compatible) and remote control
- 3.5 mm control port – for connecting compatible Source Audio control devices
- Selectable Relay True or Buffered Bypass Switching with selectable Trails Mode
- Included 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm TRS cable to connect to mobile device
- Powered by (included) 9V DC power supply(2.1 mm plug, center -, 200 mA current draw)
NEMESIS captures the full spectrum of delay effects, starting with a comprehensive collection of meticulously crafted vintage delay tones. The Source Audio engineering team spent over a year studying numerous iconic and sought-after tape and bucket brigade delay units with a staunch dedication to identifying their every nuance and idiosyncrasy. At the opposite side of the spectrum, you’ll find an advanced collection of sophisticated and specialized delay effects.
- DIGITAL: A classic clear digital delay with optional delay time (pitch) modulation. The INTENSITY KNOB controls filtering allowing for low cut (high pass) filters (creating a thinner delay sound) or high cut (low pass) filters (creating a warmer delay sound). Or, set the INTENSITY KNOB at 12 o’clock for a pure, unfiltered delay. The NEMESIS features a 56-bit signal path with a 24-bit delay line for pristine digital delays.
- DIFFUSE: This engine features a diffusion effect that smears the attack of the repeated signal, softening it and allowing it to blend in more easily with the unprocessed dry signal. This creates an ethereal sound reminiscent of some reverb effects. There is also some subtle filtering to shape the sound of the repeats.
- ANALOG: This delay engine reproduces the characteristic dark sound of bucket brigade analog delays. Traditional analog bucket brigade delays can be either resonant or warm. This engine focuses on warmth, and was inspired in part by the classic EHX Deluxe Memory Man delay. True to the nature of older bucket brigade delays, treble frequencies are reduced, even on the clean (dry) signal.
- TAPE: A detailed re-creation of classic moving-head tape delays. Repeats are bandwidth limited and have artifacts characteristic of tape delay, such as filtering, preamp saturation, noise, wow and flutter.
- NOISE TAPE: A detailed re-creation of classic fixed-head variable-speed tape delays. Repeats are bandwidth limited and have artifacts characteristic of tape delay, such as filtering, distortion, noise, wow and flutter. NOISE TAPE is grittier and darker than the TAPE engine, and has artifacts that mimic old or damaged tape.
- DEGRADE: A delay with distortion and sample rate reduction. This creates unique lo-fi sounds with varying amounts of distortion, noise, and aliasing. For more extreme degradation and bit-crushing, try the LO-FI RETRO engine.
- SHIFTER: A delay with pitch-shifting on the delayed signal. The pitch shift is static; that is, pitch shifting does not compound with successive repeats.
- HELIX: Combines reverse delay with an octave up pitch shift to create an ambient, shimmering delay that disappears into the upper frequency range.
- REVERSE: A classic reverse tape sound that became popular in 60s psychedelic rock. The NEMESIS can create several overlapping reversed delays that fade in and fade out regularly to create a pulsing tremolo effect. The INTENSITY KNOB mixes in additional delay taps to add more layering to the reverse sound.
- SWEEPER: A resonant low pass filter slowly sweeps across the frequency range, creating an undulating synthlike effect.
- RHYTHMIC: The NEMESIS contains 5 delay taps which have programmable delay time and level. This allows for the creation of rhythmic patterns in the delay effect. The Rhythmic effect uses 3 taps to create a wide variety of 3-note rhythms (plus a note on the downbeat of the next measure).
- SLAPBACK: A short echo popularized in 50s rockabilly music and characteristic of many other genres. Based on tape delays, with some minor tweaks.
In addition to the basic 12 delay engines available on the front panel, the NEMESIS also features 12 extended delay engines for a total of 24 engines in all. These additional “back 12” effect engines offer a variety of tonal options and can be selected using the Neuro App or via MIDI. Any of these effects can be used to overwrite the default effect engines on the effect dial or can be stored as user presets.
Job one in the development of the NEMESIS Delay was to create a flexible, easy-to-use, and great sounding delay pedal. Out of the box, that’s exactly what it is – plug in, select from the twelve onboard delay engines and make beautiful music… simple. But there is much more here than meets the eye – the truly “Big Idea” behind our One Series pedals was to give musicians a second, far deeper, set of options and editing tools with which to craft the perfect tone. The Neuro Desktop Editor and Neuro Mobile App are free downloads for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows. They offer a huge collection of additional delay engines as well as an expanded set of editing parameters. Tap into the Neuro Editors’ Oil Can, Binson Echorec, Resonant Tape, Warped Record, Chorus Delay and more. After editing your preset, burn it directly to the pedal and access it easily without reconnecting the Neuro App.
