Source AudioSA260 Nemesis Guitar Delay Effects Pedal

This delay pedal does it all! The more you use it the more you love it! Really love the reverse, tape, and analog delay algorithms! This is literally 26 different delay pedals in one. It's not like this is a normal all in one box with ok effects. These effects are absolutely superb! Hooking up to the Neuro app or desktop software gives you more tone and effect shaping versatility than your can possibly imagine. You can do it all from your phone, however with the absolutely vast array of parameters I prefer to connect a laptop to a big screen tv via hdmi and use the desktop editor with a wireless keyboard and mouse. That is absolutely not required it just seems to work well for me! This is as high end a delay pedal as you can imagine!

I've spent a long time researching different delay options and this is ultimately the winner for me. For the price, it's the most feature packed delay on the market and sounds absolutely incredible. I've compared it against a Strymon Timeline, TC Electronic Nova Delay, and Vox Delaylab and it ultimately came out ahead.This is a tone nerd's dream. Everything you need to get a great delay sound is right there on the pedal. But you can connect it to your phone to open up a world of more options that let you do crazy things like adding chorus or tremolo to the delay repeats. The delay engines are great and they have 14 more in the app (they added two more recently).Beyond that you can change how it bypasses (true or buffered), route the inputs and outputs in unique ways (i.e. the 2 slots can be an fx loop for the repeats), and a hold function which allows you to have a piece of your delay repeat over and over while you play on top of it. You can also change presets via midi or using a TS or TRS foot controller which is really cool.The signal does get converted to digital via 24-bit sampling. But at that rate I can't tell a difference between the bypassed signal and the converted signal. Also, by doing the digital conversion it allows Source Audio to do some really cool stuff with their algorithms.I do wish it had top mounted jacks, but there's quite a few things up there (such as external expression inputs) which make it so that it's just not feasible.Overall, I would say anyone in the market for a higher end delay should check this one out. It definitely can keep up with other pedals like the Timeline and for significantly less.

If you are on the fence about the Nemesis hesitate no more. Get it. An amazing pedal with an exceptionally deep feature set, growing user-community & factory settings database and Source Audio provides excellent customer service. While you can dial into a dizzying list of control parameters via the Neuro app, the pedal's on-board controls offer incredible adjustment and customization. There are dozens of YOUTUBE videos showcasing this beast. GEARPAGE has a user-community where you can keep learning more - and Source Audio monitors it and frequently responds to questions and suggestions for improvements. How many stomp box companies do that? SA has upgraded the pedal several times and all you have to do is connect and download the firmware updates.The quality of the signal is inspiring. The number of engines is impressive. The variety is mind-blowing - delay effects include tape, digital, slap back, oilcan, analogue, sequenced filter, multi-tap and many more. The modulation adjustments will keep you entertained for hours and facilitate the ability to build many of your own unique signature delays.Crazy stuff? It's in here. Delays can be distorted, flanged, chorused, tremolo-ized, bit-crushed, pitch shifted, reversed... it does a spot-on EQD Rainbow Machine if you want.On top of all that, it gets along well with other pedals. I run a EHX Pitchfork, FT Mini-Deja Vibe, SA Orbital, FT OCD before it and a Digitech Supernatural and Boss DD7 after. Glorious.

High value delay unit from an innovative company. The delay engines sound excellent and the control layout is very intuitive. Also helpful is the "quick start" card that shows how the knobs function per each delay setting. The included power supply was compact and worked well. Also included was a 1/4" to 1/8" TRS cable that allowed the unit to be plugged into my Android phone so that I could use the Neuro App to access extended functionality and additional delay engines.The build quality is solid and the footprint is very compact. I am replacing a dying Line 6 DL4, and after much research, decided on SA's Nemesis over other multi-delay units. For the money, I have a great sounding, easy to navigate delay unit that does not eat up major real estate on my pedalboard. Switching between presets is possible to do by holding the tap button to cycle through presets, however a 3rd party AUX switch can be used (connected via TRS 1/4" cable) to toggle forward and backward through presets. Be sure to check out the Nemesis FAQ on Source Audio's website, as it has valuable information culled from customer feedback via gear forums.

Best delay pedal for this money by far, sounds fantastic. Nice selection of presets in the box. With Neuro editor there are endless possibilities to create custom reverbs, versatility from more or less conventional to beyond andromeda. Up to 128 presets can be saved in the editor, you can save limitless in the cloud. You also download presets uploaded by other users. It is very easy to use, although it will really pay off to check out the well written manual especially if this is your first SA One series pedal. The editor has a clear layout. Compact design, thickness similar to most other pedals. Highly recommended.

Straightforward stereo digital delay. Easy to use. No menu diving. I use this in a 2-3 effect chain via the fx send from my mixer. I usually place a reverb just after it. I use it for drum machines and synths by blending the effect in/out during live performance. Excellent for recording as well. Very good selection of algorithms and good effect output gain level. There are 2 or 3 algorithms with unique pattern or rhythmic repeats. I have not delved into the computer based editor.
