November 20, 2023 · 2 sources

Source Audio announced the SA 260A One Series Nemesis Delay ADT on November 20, 2023, an updated version of the original Nemesis Delay from 2016¹. The pedal adds Analog Dry Through and raises the engine count from 24 to 26¹.

The ADT designation refers to the dry signal, which the maker says remains unprocessed: "The instrument's dry signal remains completely unprocessed, maintaining a 100% pure analog signal path that runs alongside the pedal's delay effects"². Gearnews describes the change as the dry signal running unchanged through the pedal in bypass mode¹.

Twelve engines are selectable on the pedal's center selector wheel, and the remaining 14 are available through the free Neuro software for Mac and Windows or the Neuro Mobile App for iOS and Android². Three engines previously available only in the app can now be selected directly on the pedal: Drum Echo, Oil Can and Resonant Analog¹. The maker describes Drum Echo as drawing on the Binson Echorec rotating drum unit and Oil Can as capturing a 1950s Tel-Ray Electronics Sound Chamber². Gearnews describes Resonant Analog as a dark bucket brigade sound with soft, long-lasting echoes¹.

Controls include time, feedback, mod, rate, intensity and mix, along with a tap tempo switch that also handles freeze control; beat divisions are quarter notes, dotted eighth and triplets²¹. The pedal has stereo inputs and outputs, 128 presets (eight accessible from the pedal, 128 via MIDI), 5-pin MIDI DIN and USB MIDI, external expression control, and selectable true bypass or analog buffered bypass under the name Universal Bypass². Gearnews reports a 9-volt connection and a control input in mini-jack format for syncing with other Source Audio pedals¹. The maker lists the housing as brushed anodized aluminum².

Gearnews reported that the pedal could be pre-ordered at the time of announcement, with shipping expected in roughly 7 to 9 weeks, probably mid-January 2024¹. The maker's page lists a sale price of $349.00².

The maker says the pedal is compatible with presets published for the original Nemesis by the Neuro Community¹.
