Source Audio SA 263 Collider Delay+ Reverb

I'm an established sound designer and performer in the ambient music genre, and it was years I was not getting an "instrument" like Collider. Yes, there are better delays and reverb out there, of course they are much more expensive and super cool, but... Collider mix them together in a perfect way.

High end algorhithms (many, unlike several other combo pedals) that make sense and each have a specific personality, interact in such a musical way that makes me say "so well balanced!!". Not quite often I found the same stunning quality in a combo pedal.

At the cost of one good pedal you get two, and "perfectly playable". Yes, I simply can tweak Collider while making loops and phrases with my guitar and it's instant ambient music, instant creativity, moving all of the many features this pedal offers (read the manual and you'll know you can easily tweak live a lot of parameter). I can imagine what will be when I'll add a MIDI controller to my pedalboard, since Collider has full MIDI features...

This is not only a pedal, this is an instrument for creativity. Nice is the Neuro app too, that is very easy to setup and offers in-depth program features to create whatever preset one can imagine (but you surely use the pedal itself if you don't have a pc when you're playing live out there in the world...).

The only cons I found is that it cannot "trail" while switching from an algorhitm to another, but I undestand it's not the common use one can make of it (it can only trail while switching off delay or reverb).

I was in need of a combined reverb and delay unit to use in my home synthesizer setup, preferably as an insert with the mixer. After considering multiple options I decided to choose this one and I never looked back.
First of all, the sound quality of this pedal is amazing! 5 stars is not enough to rate this. You can go from very subtle sounds to over the top, this one does it all.
Secondly, some of the features make it perfectly for a synthesizer setup. It has midi so you can send parameter changes from your daw or groovebox and it follows the tempo so rhythmic effects with the delay can be done easily. It has the option to cut the dry signal completely, which makes it perfect as an insert for a mixer.
I do have some issues with the controls. There are just a few parameters on the pedal itself and these are shared between the delay and reverb. A toggle switch let's you choose which one of the two you are editing. All the other controls are inside the software and are only accessible if you connect to a computer or iPhone (other phones are supposed to work too but I haven't been able to get it to work). I understand that this is what you get if you want all of this in a small pedal, but it is something to take in mind.
The amount of options you have in the software is great, you can really tweak anything.
So yes, this is not a cheap pedal, but what you get in return is more than worth the money in my opinion. A great pedal with so many options, anyone should be able to make this work for himself.
