Source Audio Collider Delay & Reverb Pedal

[@sourceaudioeffects]

Hell yeah! That sounds fantastic, Michael. Thanks for checking out the Collider - what you do is extraordinary.

[@dep1001]

Cool! But they don'e seem to be in stock anywhere? When are they available? Thanks

[@EnochDark]

@@dep1001 Last time I checked Sweetwater has them...

[@eguilherme1]

Great demo, thanks for posting. Nice to hear a delay/reverb demo with some gain, not just clean ambient playing. I’ve had the Nemesis & Ventris (both great), will definitely be picking up the collider.

[@BadShuriken]

Nice to hear Europe's Superstitious. Thanks for the review.

[@thesphericalguy9018]

This thing sounds absolutely glorious.

[@druwk]

Great guitar - amp sound! Adding the reverb, and Deley = epic!

[@RiffandDestroy]

Amazing Pedal !!!!! What a sound of reverb!!!

[@billyfreeze1893]

Great demo , good solid guitar player ! Thanks - I own one , I'm guessing ( of course) but I bet the bit of silence there at the end is when you looked at the complicated manual after hearing what happens to volume once the two effects are combined . For those who don't know -Source engineers introduce these mathematical illustrations someone thought belong in a musicians effect manual - 'No' Geometry or what ever that part was supposed to explain was defiantly not the way to go . ( In my humble opinion ) I'm an old dude. Memo to Source: Please keep engineers away from your manuals . Let this guy write it . ans send him a bunch of free stuff while you're at it . peace !

[@djpgreek]

Great demos as always.

[@philipdonovan6510]

Yeah, at least from this video it appears that the pedal is translating the direct guitar tone with decent fidelity. I have this on my radar for a JCM800 2204 build with a series "zero Loss" FX loop. Naturally, a pedal that preserves the direct guitar tone is paramount in that case. Nice sounding and versatile pedal. Many pedals have what I might refer to as the "Digital milky swamp smear" which I find very old already, and sonically offending. This pedal doesn't seem to have alot of that. Nice video.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I believe it has analog dry through

[@ihorValitVseh]

AWESOME SOUND!

[@xblinketx]

Nemesis is not a dual engine device. Ventris is, but Nemesis is not.

[@shawnrurodenm3640]

Thanks for the demo. Trying to decide on a delay/verb. I've liked source audio on bass effects, so I figured I'd give a listen. The plate verb sounds authentic and not dsp modelie . Its still a toss up with me but I'm still leaning towards the Stryman. Now needing to go out and try them out. Thanks. P.s. I hate LA. nice hat. lol

[@louderup]

Did not expect to find one of the Full Tilt guys when looking up whether this pedal would be good for my synth. Ashes to Ashes is the GOAT.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

louderup ah! Thank you brother!!!!

[@bessiebraveheart]

Hi from England, mine arrived this morning, so far I like it.

[@dvdpz89]

Hell of a “dry” signal. Sounds huge! I want a Tele now. What’s the bridge pickup? Love it.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks! That's a Kinman noiseless tele pickup

[@Yupppi]

I assume you're a very busy guy, but would you care to address some old gear/replicating a sound/covering some killer 80's metal guitars like you did back at some point? Well, the Friedman stuff was also great. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Yep. Will do.

This is a great review...Just Ordered mine

[@adamkrauss303]

Didnt hear much in the way of Spring or Plate and some others, because it appears you had signal weighted way towards dry mix? Is full wet all the way to the left on the knob ?

[@vincental3038]

All Wonderful....only One question, if you must choice between this and strymon..what Will you do?

[@elpiulas9937]

Hey, fantastic pedal and Kee Marcelo's Superstitious solo.... yeah...

[@ItaiIfrach]

Sounds great ! I have to ask ! How it this reverbs compare to the rack lexicon units or fractal reverbs ?

[@drewbarries]

Hey Michael, cool demo, Ventris is dual engine, however I don’t think the Nemesis is. I just sold my Ventris and Nemesis and have replaced them with the Collider and love the smaller footprint on my board but miss the more straight forward dedicated pedal structure. The parameters you select on one side maintain their value even after you’ve changed them in the other side. That way when you return to the other previously selected effect your new control positions are in effect the old position thus preventing massive step changes. At least I think that’s how it works based on my desired delay time bouncing around the dial. I really love that you commented how close the delays were to some of the classic rack gear you love. How would you rate the reverb compared to your Bricasti or PCMs?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Hi Drew! Oh yes! I believe you are right about the dual engine. I misspoke!

[@baruchdor]

hi men love this, i try to find the best hall !!! reverb for my electric guitar(that i can afford), i thinking about the lexicon pcm 70 or 81 rack units , the pedals that i have eventide,strymon,tc didn't to the trick for me what do you think?

[@jackprice7828]

Pretty impressive

[@kylecoffey6010]

Oh Good Lord that Soldano/VHT combo sounds damn good... Yeah like AMAZING! That's the middle channel, No? Here in TX we'd say real loud "YouSonOfABit@h" as a term of endearment much like the upsidedown grin of approval! \m/\m/ Another Excellent video Michael cool pedal too btw. This one kinda makes me miss my X88!

[@user-he7hz2gp2w]

Hi great demo, your tele sounds awesome, is it a CS '52, what pickups? what do you run it through (amp/ overdrive pedal) besides the Collider? Cheers Ralph

[@izme4700]

You could have merged their reverb and their delay and saved a lot of dough if you got a parallel mixer pedal there’s a variety of ones on the Internet used and you can mix any effects and I’ll come out as if they’re one effect

[@BigHairyGuitars]

True, but there's a value to having just 1 pedal to worry about.

[@StupidEarthlings]

How come it doesn't sound this good when I play mine?.. :/

[@LeviBulger]

You really missed out in demoing the oil can properly. It's such a unique sound, but you didn't let it do its thing because of the short trails.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Fair comment. To be honest, I went back to it last week also, and though, "Hmm, What should I do with this!?!"

[@rockostiffredi4276]

I like how it doesn’t interfere with your dry signal, almost like it has a built in ducking delay, unless you had your dry left and delay right?

[@sebastiendonat9707]

this telecaster sound huge !!

[@SpinandThrowDiscGolf]

What was that super cool delay you had on your Blue Murder tone?

[@tylerelliott6774]

That is seriously the best sounding Tele I’ve ever heard. Are those the Kinman Broadcaster Pickups? I’d love to put this set in my Tele.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Tyler Elliott thanks! Yep, those are the Kinman’s. Great pickups!

[@alexzaytsevguitar]

Hi, did you try specular tempus comparing to collider?

[@emreemre369]

Sweetwater says it is analogue dry-through, I know the Ventris already was, but the Nemesis was not, that is why I ditched them 'n went the Boss road. Maybe someone can confirm this is analogue drythough, though and through? hah! I need important info on Friedman guitars Mike, I am just letting you take some rest before I shoot my questions..

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Only shoot emails 😜 It is 100% analog dry though. What you’re hearing is my whole guitars signal go through the pedal and the wet/dry is coming determined by the mix knob on the pedal.

[@emreemre369]

@@BigHairyGuitars Thanks...good to learn that.

[@defenderstargate1447]

It is Analog Dry Through in the parallel and single effect modes, but not in the series mode (one effect into the other). What matters is that the demos have sounded great.

[@PeterGuitarSound]

@@defenderstargate1447 Whuuut ? So if you use both reverb+delay side at the same time, you're not analog dry through ?

[@analogblues9606]

Hi Michael! Great video. I’ve been looking for a pedal like this for two years now. I’m old and into old school sounds! :-) I want to leave my reverb on all the time and add delay for some songs. Are the volumes adjusted in the presets and do you know the output impedance of this pedal? I’m also looking to take my output buffer off my board and if the Collider impedance is low enough I could do that. Thanks in advance, love your videos!!!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I don’t know about the impedance. You can individually adjust volumes

[@analogblues9606]

@@BigHairyGuitars 😊

[@daveandrew7014]

Sounds Crazy Good!!! Can you tweak the subdivion of the delay in the app to dual delay 1/4 + dotted 8th?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Ya know. I haven’t gone that deep. Their apps are pretty elaborate. I suspect you can.

[@sourceaudioeffects]

Yes, you can do that. There is an example of it in the Source Audio demo of the Collider.

[@daveandrew7014]

@@sourceaudioeffects That's awesome thank you! So can you do dual delay + reverb?

[@worldwide1376]

So, you can’t combine the reverb and delay together?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

They can run at the same time, or individually.

[@TavaresProject]

Hey Mike, how come the reverb sounds as if it were stereo? How did you hook up the pedal?

[@-jk-2580]

So I got the pedal but it seems to have really annoying delay when switching presets. Volume fades way for a few milliseconds. Everyone else having the same problem?

[@stu3736]

I’m 2 years late but yes JK I am. It’s not a volume drop, it is the effect totally dropping out before the next preset effect kicks in - i.e latency. I’m picking up at least half a second, likely more. For that period of time your signal is dry. And no it is not a midi issue. Checked with SA and sent them a video and they advised that is the normal latency due to the processing power.

[@KipCount]

Is that base dirt tone from your amp, or a pedal? If its a pedal, which? great sound!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

All of the dirt is coming from a Soldano X88R preamp that was modified by Dave Friedman, into a VHT 2150 power amp.

[@JRP3music]

[@peterschaefer1665]

You can always tell when a pedal has analog dry through.

[@kjetilalexandersaltnes8643]

Does anybody know.. Can this pedal do circular delay?

[@rameshperalil5217]

Is this pedal possible to use direct microphone for singing

[@BigHairyGuitars]

You would have to run MIC > a Mic Preamp > Collider > mixer or interface. I wouldn't really recommend using that way though. There are better things for that purpose.

[@rameshperalil5217]

[@aleksmayer5907]

Is it true that the Collider's preset switching takes between 200 ms and 1 second (when using Midi / Effects Switcher)? I would need something like the collider for my live pedalboard, but waiting a second for the sound to appear is not okay at all. Do you have any experience with that? I've also read that the delay/reverb unnaturally stops immediately when turning the collider of - is that true?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

hmmmm. I don't know. I've used it live, but I don't remember a significant latency when switching. I'll check into it

Yes it absolutely is Aleks. In fact I replied to a comment you made on another You Tubers video. I sent video of my latency (close to a second) to Source Audio and they advised that is the normal latency due to the processing power. And It is not midi - the video I sent to SA was with manual switching. It makes no difference what is doing the switching.

[@mikedivittorio3744]

Does the pedal’s delay engine take a while to turn off for you?

[@xblinketx]

This is due to a built in tap tempo, otherwise it would not work as designed. You can tap the tempo with the same button so it cannot turn off immediately after you pressed for the first time.

JRPowell3_Music Will the neuro editing app you can “unlock” the reverb and delay engines giving you access to any of the delay to reverb engines found on the dedicated Ventris reverb or nemesis delay. There is a reverse delay engine there.

[@JRP3music]

All those sounds and only 4 presets? Why not 44?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

With midi you can have more. But all of the pedals in this range are only 4. I guess they just carried it over

[@vinhlam7888]

Where did you get 4 from? It’s 8

[@eguilherme1]

Through the neuro app, you can set it to have 8 presets, with no midi control needed. Nemesis & Ventris have the same option.
