All you need! Source Audio Collider Delay and Reverb Review 

Martin, thanks! I've had this pedal for awhile and hadn't figured that out. The manual is "robust" I'm sure that's not the only cool feature I've overlooked. this thing is deep!

Thank you sir. Doing the lord's work.

You can have 2 delays with both engines running together, but then you’d be missing out on the reverb.

I didn't think you bought these to do subtle

@@MarkRigler This is just one of the things you buy it for :) I think it is really useful for this application, though. Direct recordings may sound too dry or "lifeless" but a subtle stereo room reverb can help a lot with that. I find that most room reverbs sound more like tile rooms or bathrooms, which create some unpleasant resonating frequencies. Ventris/Collider's Room algo sounds very Hi-Fi.

Harald, on any Source Audio pedal, expression control can be assigned to ANY function in the Neuro App, and/or ANY knob just with the buttons on the back of the pedal.

Aren't there presets...switch by midi maybe

haha... you are buying into the marketing and stats.... These are guitar signals! These are being reproduced by 12 inch speakers without tweeters... there is NO high end and 48KHz is wayyyyyyy more than you need to adequately sample a guitar sound. You would not be able to hear a difference... not even in a quiet studio setting.... most certainly not in a band setting. There will be ZERO difference! Feature wise... the Avalanche is nice, but very limited... the SA Collider does many many different algorithms and is a completely different tool.

daaaamn.... you are right! Reshoot?

I might have liked to see how you set it up in stereo with the Synergy FX loop.

EytschPi42 does the Collider delays auto ping pong in stereo like the Nemesis? I watched a video comparing Nemesis to Timeline and the gentleman commented on the auto ping pong of delays when the pedal ran stereo out. Just curious ... love the video!

@@james.hatcher Yes they do and you can change the rhythm in the editor

@@LemonMeIon thank you

Still have it? Any issues? Hiss?

@@shckltnebay yep still have it. It is in my worship rig. No issues with static or hiss, but it is a complete silent stage rig running into an HX Stomp, so no tube/electrical issues to contend with. I do run it from a CIOKS DC7 power supply, so that gets rid of a bunch of other power related issues as well. What issues are you having with it?

@@jerryhorton5708 Im thinking about getting one and read on Sweetwater reviews some issues with hiss and latency, I have a Zuma so power is not an issue, Just got the UA Golden and I not so sure its all it could be

@@shckltnebay The Collider is a great piece of gear, although it isn't perfect. The delays are excellent, but I find the reverbs to be a bit too digital for my taste; however, I use very minimal reverb for any of my other gigs, so take my opinion with a large grain of salt. I've never experience hiss or latency with the Collider, so it could be a defective unit for this player or just a junky signal chain. The only time I've ever had noise issues with this rig is when someone put a PoE injector under my board (I use a stereo Dante output). Cheap PoE injector introduced 60 cycle hum but that is going to happen, no matter how good the rest of your signal chain is - it's essentially a pretty powerful radio frequency at that minimal distance. As an ambient tool, it is easy to use, simple to program, and has great tone for the music this board is dedicated to. The downsides? The DSP is a little bit of a limiting factor - you can run 1 delay and 1 'verb; or two 'verbs; or two delays. Don't get me wrong - that's fairly flexible, but it also becomes an issue when you need to run stacked delays and a big washy 'verb (I really don't have any scenarios when I would stack 'verbs). I also do not use the editing software as it seems to be a kludgy and I really don't need that much superfine tweakery - the knobs and my ear have sufficed for this long, so why make it more complicated? A minor issue (for me anyway) - the tap tempo is tricky as hell to use. I've added an outboard dual momentary switch, which is very helpful for setting tap tempo and switching between the four onboard presets. No plans to go full MIDI at this point, so I'm of little help there. I would highly recommend it for players who need a good basic ambient tone, don't want to tweak through endless menus or editing software, and don't mind adding a second outboard delay if they need it. My two cents, anyway...Cheers!

Good thing you said "literally". I 'd hate for anyone to think you were speaking rhetorically. Or hyperbolically. Or ironically. Thank you for making that distinction.

ANY HISS or noise issues? Latency?

@@shckltnebay none, but need to spend more time with it.

@@leoolivero963 Ive got the Ventris coming, selling my UA Golden most likly

ANY HISS or noise issues? Latency?

Purely speculative, but my guess would be hype and esthetic. The Strymons are great, but I think it's largely due to them kinda being the first to the punch with all the big box stuff and being the only ones offering their vast feature set for some time.

BECAUSE GUITAR PLAYERS ARE CHEAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

Expensive?

@@Samhaim1234 so are Strymons

​@@Rikamortis6stringer Cheap, salty and tribalistic. 🎯

Well this comment aged well.

Saurondor yes

Chaotic Embrace It’s called G.A.S. Gear Aquirey Syndrome

"few weeks" lol

So you went with the neunabar immerse MK2 over this one? Cuz I am trying to decide between this pedal or getting an immerse MK2 and a boss dd8 or just getting this pedal.

@@jordanebacher I did. Ended up with the Immerse and the Avalanche Run. No presets but I like it that way, it doesn't have the problem Henning pointed out where you have that common control set. The pedal always shows you how it's set.

no

@@EytschPi42 Probably yes. There's a split stereo option (one engine to right, the other to left). Using that, he should be able to go Collider In 1 - Out 1 - Tremolo - Collider In 2 - Collider Out 2 - Amp. Probably should be checked and confirmed with Source Audio support line, though.

Did you find an answer to this Aleks? I have one and it is taking that long when switching between presets - whether switched using midi or the pedal itself

possibly Katana, but I haven’t tried one yet

Yeah the dual engine and parallel path options makes this super versatile and deep! X2 with two Colliders!

ANY HISS or noise issues? Latency?

I've got 4 of them

Yes, but a good one for selling the product. You would like to believe Henning...
