The Nemesis Delay is the culmination of three years of intense research, listening and engineering. The mission was to create a compact, powerful and easy-to-use delay pedal with unrivaled sound, flexibility and style. Nemesis offers 26 distinct effects engines ranging from vintage tape and analog delays to highly advanced pitch shift, inversion, filter modulation, and rhythm delays. It also has 128 presets, multiple delays, hold, tap tempo, full MIDI control, deep editing functionality with the Neuro Mobile app, and more Again.
The Nemesis includes twelve basic delay effects engines, with more effects available in the Neuro Mobile app. Existing effects engines can also be further modified using the Neuro app's extensive set of adjustable parameters.
Slapback — Synonymous with rockabilly guitar effects, Slapback delivers a short, single-repeat echo based on early tape delay machines.
Digital — A classic clean digital delay with optional delay time modulation. The Intensity knob controls filtering allowing for high pass filters (creating a thinner delayed sound) or low pass filters (creating a warmer delayed sound). 12 hours on the Intensity knob provides 100% pure, unfiltered delay. The Nemesis features a 56-bit signal path with a 24-bit delay line for impeccably clean repeats.
Diffuse — A delay line with a diffusion effect that smudges the attack of the repeated signal, softening it and allowing it to blend more easily with the dry, unprocessed signal. This creates an ethereal sound reminiscent of classic “oil can” delay systems.
Analog — The sound of classic bucket brigade analog delays. The successive delays are warm, resonant and increasingly lo-fi.
Tape — A detailed recreation of classic moving head tape delays. The tape captures all the characteristic float, warmth and color that gives vintage tape delay machines like the Echoplex and Space Echo their classic charm.
Noise Tape — A detailed recreation of classic fixed-head tape delays. The Noise Tape is grittier and darker than the Tape Engine, capturing the sound of an old or damaged tape.
Degrade — A primitive Lo-Fi digital delay with bit crushing and sample rate reduction. This creates unique retro sounds with varying amounts of distortion, noise and aliasing.
Shifter — A delay with polyphonic transposition on the delayed signal. Choose from octave (up or down), minor or major thirds, 4ths and fifths.
Helix — This angelic delay effect combines an inverted delay with an octave to create a strange, shimmering delay that disappears in the upper frequency range.
Reverse – The classic reverse tape sound made popular by a number of iconic psychedelic guitarists who shall remain nameless. The Nemesis creates multiple reverse delays that overlap and fade regularly to create a pulsing tremolo effect.
Sweeper — A resonant low-pass filter slowly sweeps across the frequency range, creating a synth-like undulating effect.
Rhythmic — The Nemesis delay line contains 6 taps. This allows the creation of rhythmic patterns in the delay effect. The rhythm effect uses 4 taps to create a wide variety of rhythms.
