Description
Unleash your creativity with the Source Audio Collider, an innovative blend of delay and reverb effects that allows musicians to design complex soundscapes in seconds. This powerful pedal brings together 12 standout effects from Source Audio's award-winning Nemesis Delay and Ventris Dual Reverb, all housed in one compact unit.
The Collider's intuitive control surface allows for a seamless mix-and-match of any two-engine combination of delay and reverb. Thanks to the dual footswitches, you can individually control each effect, making it a perfect choice for live performances.
The Collider doesn't stop at the basics. It offers an exceptional collection of rich, spacious tones, including realistic reproductions of vintage Analog, Tape, and Oil Can Delays. Classic models of Spring and Plate Reverb, as well as natural replications of large and small acoustic spaces, are all within your reach. Plus, with intriguing "unnatural" tones such as a tripped-out Reverse Delay and an other-worldly Shimmer Reverb, the possibilities are endless.
The Collider is powered by dual 56-bit DSP processors, bringing you studio-grade effects and experimental potential. The pedal also supports complete MIDI functionality and is compatible with expression pedals, offering greater control over your sound.
Key Features:
- 12 unique delay and reverb effects
- Dual 56-bit DSP processors for studio-grade effects
- Intuitive interface with individual footswitch control for each effect
- Complete MIDI functionality for advanced control

It doesn’t get much better
It doesn’t get much better than this for a full featured reverb and delay pedal, which is complemented by the Neuro app in terms of having access to lots of other users’ presets. It does take a fair bit of learning to save and access presets, but even just in manual model I think it’s worth the price of admission, which is admittedly high.

It's when you think you get it you realize you haven't even poppep up the hood yet.
There's so much going on with this effects unit one could write a whole essay about it.
It's great for guitarists, keyboardists, producers, DJs, in the studio, live... A couple of features makes it stand out from the rest of the market.
First and foremost it's the most underrated feature; this is a Dual DSP engine Reverb and Delay Unit. This means it can be Reverb-and-Reverb, Reverb-and-Delay, Delay and Delay or Delay and Reverb. So it's not "just" a Delay+Reverb pedal.
It's Stereo/Mono/Dual Mono. Routing options make it super flexible as any input can be routed to any DSP engine and either be mixed or have separate mono outs. Makes it super useful for all types of line signal.
It has enough Reverb and Delay modes to suit 99% of needs of 99% of user cases. All the basics are covered and some more exotic modes are also available. Once again, I cannot stress enough howtDual DSP engine allows for effects creation by mixing both signals.
Full-sized MIDI din 5-pin connectors. Collider has In and Thru MIDI ports for connecting to controllers, MIDI clocks... It also has a dedicated 2.5mm tap swtch connector which works with any standard tap switch.
All of these features can eb used by what you see on the pedal itself, but this is only the beginning....
Source Audio Neuro App (for desktop or mobile) unlocks all the hidden settings of the Collider, and allows for much further customisation, exploration and creation. You can download the app and run the free emulator mode to see all the available settings. You can also save way more Presets using the app.
There is very little room for improvement here. The only cons I could think of is I would way much prefer top-mounted jacks, but all Source Audio pedals are side-mounted. Also a time-clock feature would have been nice, to allow other pedals to sync with the Collider without the need for a separate device. Otherwise it's basically a perfect product!

cleverst Delay + Reverb around
I bought this pedal for the versatile and useful combination of delay + reverb but I could never have imagined the possibilities this pedal gives you.
The pedal is very intuitive to start with, all knobs have double functions (at least) but are easy to adapt to.
What's really mind blowing are the hidden potions. trails, double reverb and especially the routing options. This gives you the possibility to set the collider up as two completely independent pedals. I could imagine so many great ideas how to use this in different setups, it's just awesome. + you can save your presets, even including the routing options.
The sounds are splendid, I can really recommend this pedal! I also looks awesome!
