Source Audio Nemesis Delay Part II

www.sourceaudio.net/products/one_series/nemesis_delay.php This is a walk through of the Nemesis Delay. To see Part I go to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIW8dJ2fe7ikkLM
The Nemesis Delay is the culmination of three years of intense research, listening, and engineering. Driven by a passion for greatness, our goal was to create a compact, powerful, and easy-to-use delay pedal with unrivaled tone, flexibility and style. We feel that our goals were achieved - Nemesis offers 24 distinct effect engines ranging from vintage tape and analog delays to highly advanced pitch-shifting, reverse, filter modulating, and rhythmic delays. It also features 128 presets, multiple delay taps, a hold function, tap tempo, full MIDI control, deep editing functionality with the Neuro Mobile App, and much more.

This has all the features and sounds that I've been needing in a delay of this size. Great work, Mike and Source Audio! :)

[@sebdos]

+Mick Hagman me too but concerned bout max delay 2.6 secs...

[@JCBigCat]

SJ DS wow, what would you need more than 2 seconds for?

[@francoismarchand5461]

Very nice demo (and in stereo to boot!) of a quite seducing delay pedal. The Helix mode is incredibly smooth, unique. Love it!

[@GuitarCailuong]

Oh shit that defused delay is unreal!

[@shckltnebay]

+GuitarCailuong Oh yeah and this sounds as good at home if you have a few good amps

[@bigupliquidchilli8709]

@@shckltnebay Leave people the fuck alone.

[@mintyhippojds]

thanks for the great demos Mike, this is kicking off my Echolution 2 for sure

[@frederickpfeiffer9276]

I am having the same debate with myself and my echolution 2 ultra. What aspects of the Nemisis are swaying you away from the pig? Warmer?

[@mintyhippojds]

+Frederick Pfeiffer it seems like the Nemesis does everything that made me love my echolution in the first, except it does it better. it seems much easier and much more practical to use live, the presets are easier to get to on the fly It can do the sweep filter thing (which sounds absolutely badass) the reverse delay thing which I think is much more controlled and made more useful on the nemesis and the octave up "shimmer" delay thing which again seems like you have more control over the timing and intensity of the effect instead of just random farts of octaves hoping that you dial in the right setting everytime. as powerful and impressive as the pig warmer was I feel like I never had enough control over some of the delays to feel totally comfortable with it. some people dig that but this seems much better to work for me and for what I use it for.

[@frederickpfeiffer9276]

+mintyhippojds Thanks for the great comments. Now we just have to find a couple for sale, lol.

[@mintyhippojds]

+Frederick Pfeiffer anytime bro and yeah that's where its everyman for himself hahaha

[@Erickchicas]

Lovely delay, i'm considering changing my el capistan and pitch shifter 3 for this. The helix is definitely inspired in the ps-3. and covers everything :) tape, digital delay, reverse and the "helix" sound, plus more things.

[@shckltnebay]

+Erick Chicas Keep the el cap sell the pitch shifter and get this in addition

[@Erickchicas]

Eric sin sinner I just bought the Nemesis haven't been able to use it though, i don't think i'll ever sell ps-3 love that pedal, and el cap y amazing as well but i don't know if i can justify keeping el cap just because hehe

[@shckltnebay]

Erick Chicas You probably will, I had the DIG and the Nemesis completely replaced it.

[@Erickchicas]

Eric sin sinner hopefully it will and i won't miss my El cap!! we'll see how it goes pretty soon :)

[@shckltnebay]

I have to say both you demos of this outshine Pro Guitar shop no knock on Andy but wow yours are worlds better

[@boonexy]

that's because Andy plays songs. He barely demos anything anymore.

[@serdiezv]

boonexy That's one type of demo too, band setting

[@martinespinomusic]

How is this in comparison to the straymon big sky which is basically a reverb unit right?

[@DrJSkellington]

Mike your demos are awesome! How does it compare the analog and the tape engines to the empress superdelay vintage modified?

[@Timrobrus]

To anyone wondering how this compares to the E2D - I sold my E2D after getting this. The E2D is awesome but the Nemesis does pretty much everything the E2D does, plus more, is smaller and has a much simpler interface.

[@shckltnebay]

+timrobrus Thats what Ive done waiting for my Nemesis

[@shckltnebay]

+Eric sin sinner So glad I did this blows away the E2D

[@shckltnebay]

I didnt know it had a MIku setting in the reverse section, just recognized the song in the first part of the rhythmic section

[@the5chord]

Thanks for this Mike! Sounds great.

[@billsstudio2528]

Simply brilliant Stellar sounds

[@albertorivera7937]

Great job, as always. I fear we are very close to market saturation with pedals. So many are derivative.

[@GuitarAnthony]

Top of my list to get next. Loving the Source Audio pedals. Don't know if it's gonna top my TC Alter Ego X4 but that's why we keep buying more gear, isn't it? :)

[@popintothechemist]

+Guitar Anthony The Nemesis is amazing! I'm really loving it!

[@Overdrivenn]

+Mike Hermans hi Mike, i bought the nemesis recently but I am experiencing some problems with saving presets where the tempo is not kept after switching to next preset. Did you experience the same thing?

[@shckltnebay]

+M Try the gear forum!

[@Overdrivenn]

+Eric sin sinner thanks!

[@shckltnebay]

+M not sure if they resolved that but I did read someone had that issue. One more day until mine arrives

[@charlesycoker]

For those that have this, I know it doesn't have an analog direct signal. For the REALLY picky people, do you notice ANY change in tone or feel running through s series FX looop?

[@shckltnebay]

+Charles Coker NO none at all and im very picky about that.

[@jonbailey6052]

Charles Coker yes I did, I run mine through a Xotic Stereo X blender to keep the punch of my direct signal intact. Some people may not notice, I do

[@wormeister]

@@jonbailey6052 I bet you can hear the grass grow as well

[@762nato1]

Excellent. I know they are different beasts, but for the delay types they have in common, how do the Nemesis and E2D compare sonically and functionally?

[@shckltnebay]

+762nato1 E2D is horrid

[@DaveThomson]

This is or the DIG or Timeline? I sort of prefer this over the Dig since it has midi and I can use my GCP to control everything.

[@JCBigCat]

Dave Thomson hi, what is a gcp?

[@DaveThomson]

JCBigCat Ground Control Pro from Voodoo Labs. MIDI Controller

[@sebdos]

rhaaaaaa dig it... too bad the max delay is quite short regarding my requirements (2.6 secs right) but it's killer appart from this

[@fxaarchable]

Mike: Did you find any issues with the Nemesis creating allot of hiss?

[@MaxPaws]

At 14:48 it’s an effect first heard from Jethro Tull!

[@mikelamusic]

I am very interested in getting this to possibly replace my Supa Puss. Can anyone confirm that you can make the analog setting get gritty and creamy? The SP has some great grit to the trails without being fuzzy. I'm hoping that I can nail that sound and then get the million other bonus algorithms. Also, being that it's digital, do you notice any sterilization to the tone or feel of your signal. As subtle as it was, all of the Strymon stuff dulled out the feel in my signal and it was a deal breaker. Thanks for your help!

[@aaronlightstone1867]

I did not compare it to a Supa Puss but I thought the analouge engine sounded better , creamier, etc than the analouge pedals I did compare it to.

[@DrivenCrane1]

Mikelamusic, i believe you should try the Diffuse engine. It has crunchy trails as i hear them.

[@Kananond]

Thinking of switching from echolution to this but the echolution sounds warmer, sweeter. Has anyone compared?

[@brunobailly7013]

The Helix effect is magical ! I'm pretty sure Joe Satriani used it on "Baroque" in Time Machine... Does anybody know which pedal it was ?

[@JCBigCat]

Bruno Bailly it was an Eventide pitched-delay, called Crystals, that Source Audio recreated in this pedal. It’s a fantastic effect and the only thing I would have missed about my PitchFactor, except I’ve found it in the Nemesis :)

[@mattgilbert7347]

That was amazing

[@shckltnebay]

Android app is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jandesteen9736]

Eric sin is out.
