Endless Ambient Possibilities

Encounter’s 12 engines provide a vast palette of tones. From the swirling textures of Kaleidoscope delay to the cinematic Hypersphere reverb and shimmering octave-rich ambiences, this pedal is designed to inspire creativity. Enhanced takes on classics like Reverse, Swell, and Drum Echo deliver both familiarity and fresh dimensions with expanded parameter controls.

With each footswitch independently engaging its effect, Encounter essentially acts as two pedals in one, allowing complex layering and spontaneous soundscapes.

Professional-Level Control

Whether you want simple stompbox functionality or full rig integration, Encounter adapts to your setup. Store presets, sync to external MIDI clock, or dive deep into sound design with Neuro 3.0 software. The intuitive interface and tactile controls make it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in your home setup.
