For players who live in the space between echo and atmosphere, the Source Audio Encounter ambient delay/reverb pedal is a portal to limitless sonic depth. Combining six delay and six reverb engines, it lets you stack, blend, or split effects in series, parallel, or stereo for lush, three-dimensional sound design. Each engine—from crystalline digital repeats to blooming, infinite reverbs—has its own personality, giving you everything from cinematic ambience to experimental soundscapes. With dual footswitches for independent control, stereo I/O, and full MIDI integration, the Encounter functions like two studio-grade pedals in one. Compact yet powerful, it’s built for guitarists, producers, and sonic explorers ready to push delay and reverb beyond the familiar into something deeply inspiring.

Innovative Delay and Reverb Engines for Sonic Discovery

The Source Audio Encounter features six unique delay and six reverb engines, offering a combination of new and enhanced sounds. From the ethereal Hypersphere reverb that creates the sensation of infinite space, to the cascading, harp-like Kaleidoscope delay, these engines inspire new musical directions. By blending modernized classics like Swell and Reverse reverbs with brand-new effects, the Encounter provides a lush sonic palette for crafting immersive textures and one-of-a-kind tones.

Flexible Routing and Dual Effect Capability

The Encounter pedal excels with its flexible routing and dual-effect operation. You can use delay and reverb in tandem or separately, choose series, parallel, or split stereo configurations, and even explore dual delay or dual reverb setups. Each footswitch independently controls one effect, functioning like two pedals in one, with full MIDI compatibility for added creative control. This versatility ensures you can customize your setup to suit any playing style or performance need.

Seamless Integration and Smart Controls

Designed with usability in mind, the Encounter includes Source Audio’s free Neuro 3 software for precise preset editing and sound design. The SoundCheck feature allows you to test and create presets directly from your phone or computer before purchase. With hands-on controls for tweaking gain, mix, and tone, as well as stereo ins and outs for expansive sound, this pedal ensures an intuitive and rewarding user experience for any guitarist or producer.
