Overview

24 Diverse Delay Engines –Choose from vintage delay tones such as Analog Bucket Brigade, Tape,

and Slapback, or delve deeper into unique sounds cooked up in the Source Audio lab. 12 factory

delay engines are available out of the box, 12 extended engines can be recalled via MIDI or loaded

via the Neuro App.

Flexible Stereo Routing –The Nemesis is equally at home in a mono rig or a stereo rig. Every delay

effect engine works in stereo multi-tap mode, and a variety of routing modes such as Mono-to-Mono,

Mono-to-Stereo, and External Loop allow the Nemesis to harness the true power of stereo signal

chains.

Single Delays, Dual Delays, Multi-Tap Delays –Every Nemesis delay engine comes ready to go with

both single and dual delay modes. Some delay engines make use of the Nemesis’ 5-tap architecture

to create unique multi-tap delays and rhythmic patterns.

Compact Design –The durable, anodized aluminum housing with its slim profile and small footprint

is built for the rigors of the road.

Universal Bypass –True bypass, buffered bypass, or soft bypass with delay trails? The choice is yours.

The Nemesis features high-quality signal relays for true bypass and transparent buffers for analog

bypass, and soft bypass mode for preserving delay trails or complex stereo signal routing during

bypass.

Presets –Save your favorite sounds with the touch of a button. 8 presets can be stored and recalled

using the hardware controls, and a total of 128 presets can be saved internally and recalled using a

MIDI controller.

Deep Control Set –Beyond the six control knobs on the face of the Nemesis are many additional

editable parameters. The Neuro App provides access to the inner workings of the delay effect for

advanced users who want to create a unique signature sounds.

Neuro App –The Neuro App for iOS and Android offers a powerful extension to the basic pedal

functionality. Access the full set of editable parameters and save presets on your mobile device. Edit

and share your favorite sounds with the Neuro Community directly from the App!

Neuro Hub –The Source Audio Neuro Hub connects up to five compatible Source Audio pedals and

stores the settings of each pedal as a scene. Up to 128 scenes can be saved and recalled using the

Neuro Hub, combining the power of a multi-effects system with the flexibility of a traditional pedal

board.

External Loop –Configure external loop mode to insert external effects in the delay line of the

Nemesis, making them part of the feedback loop.

Full MIDI Implementation –The Nemesis' parameters can be accessed and controlled using MIDI via

the Neuro Hub or USB. Class compliant USB-MIDI allows the Nemesis to work as a plug-and-play

device with recording software running on Mac and Windows. The Nemesis can also sync to your

DAW or other MIDI devices using MIDI clock.

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 3

Tap Tempo –The TAP FOOTSWITCH allows users to directly set the delay time, with optional beat

subdivisions.

External Control –The Nemesis can be easily configured to work with a variety of expression pedals

and footswitches for various external control options.

Hold Mode –Sustain your delay sounds with the HOLD function. The delayed audio is repeated

infinitely for ambient sustain effects.

Quick Start

Power

To power the unit, connect the included 9V DC power supply to the jack labeled DC 9V on the back

panel.

Warning: Using a non-Source Audio supply, especially an unregulated supply, could damage the unit.

Please be very cautious when using 3rd-party power supplies and refer to the power supply

requirements printed on the bottom of the Nemesis housing.

Guitar/Audio Connections

Using standard ¼” mono cables, connect your guitar, bass, or other instrument to the INPUT 1 jack

and your amp (or the next audio device in the signal chain) to the OUTPUT 1 jack. If you have a second

amp, connect it to OUTPUT 2.

When the power and audio connections have been made, the Nemesis is ready to use.

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 4

Brief Knob, Footswitch, and Button Descriptions

Time Knob: Controls the delay time. If an effect engine uses multi-tap delays, this will set the time for

the longest delay tap, and the sub-delays will automatically scale according to that.

Mix Knob: Controls the relative level between the dry input signal and the wet, processed signal.

When set at 12 o'clock, the wet and dry signals will be at equal volume. Fully counter-clockwise is

100% dry, and fully clockwise is 100% wet.

Feedback Knob: Controls the amount of wet signal that is fed back into the delay effect. At minimum

feedback, the delay effect will only process once. At maximum feedback, the delays will continue

infinitely. It is also possible to set a feedback greater than 1, allowing for "self-oscillation" effects.

Mod Knob: Controls the depth of the modulation applied to the effect. It can have different

functions depending on which engine is selected. Some effect engines use time (pitch) modulation,

filter modulation, tape modulation (wow and flutter), or tremolo.

Rate Knob: This controls the speed of the time (pitch) modulation, filter modulation, wow and flutter,

or tremolo. In tape delays, this simulates the tape speed.

Intensity Knob: The INTENSITY KNOB changes function depending on which engine is selected. Most

effect engines can create a range of different sounds: warm to bright, clean to distorted, full to thin,

and so on. The INTENSITY KNOB changes the color or character of the sound and allows you to dial in a

unique flavor for each effect engine. The details of how the INTENSITY KNOB works are described in

more detail in the individual descriptions of each effect engine.

Engine Selector Knob: Selects between the 12 main effect engines. To access the additional delay

engines (the “back 12”), you’ll need to use the Neuro App or MIDI.

On/Off Footswitch: Engages or bypasses the delay effect. The corresponding ON/OFF LED will be lit

when the delay effect is engaged.

Tap Tempo Footswitch: Tap this footswitch two or more times to set the primary delay time. Make

sure the SUBDIVISION SWITCH is set to quarter notes for basic quarter note operation.

Press and hold the TAP footswitch to active HOLD mode. This will circulate the audio in the delay line

infinitely until the TAP switch is released.

Tap Tempo Subdivision Switch: Selects a beat subdivision for tap tempo, allowing more complex

delay times such as dotted eighths and triplets to be tapped in using the TAP FOOTSWITCH. The TAP LED

will always blink in time with the duration you tapped in with the TAP FOOTSWITCH, even if a

subdivision is selected.

Preset Select/Save Button: This button selects and loads one of the four user presets saved in the

Nemesis. To save a preset into the currently selected spot, press and hold this button.

Automatic Stereo Detection: When a plug is inserted into the stereo output, the Nemesis will

automatically detect it and generate a stereo ping pong delay effect for any of the delay machines.

The Nemesis monitors its input and output connections and configures itself to the appropriate

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 5

mode. It’s also possible to override this and choose a custom routing mode using the Neuro App or

MIDI.

Connections

Input Side Connections

Input 1

INPUT 1 is the primary input for guitar, bass, or other instruments. It can also accept line-level inputs

and will work in your amp’s effect loop. Connect it to your instrument or other audio source using a

mono (TS) ¼” cable. Details about the allowed signal levels are available in the Specifications section.

Input 2

INPUT 2 is the secondary audio input for stereo sources, external feedback loop input, or as the data

connection to your mobile device when using the Neuro App.

Input 2 as an Audio Input

The tip contact on INPUT 2 acts as a secondary input for guitar, bass, or other instruments. Connect

your instrument (or the previous effect in the signal chain) using a mono (TS) ¼” cable. The Nemesis

will automatically configure itself for stereo audio input. Other routing options are available using the

Neuro App. For more information about stereo routing, refer to the Stereo Operation section.

Input 2 as an External Loop Return

If the Nemesis is configured in a routing mode that includes an external loop, OUTPUT 2 is the loop

send and INPUT 2 is the loop return. Connect INPUT 2 to the output of the external effects loop using a

mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Input 2 as a Neuro App Data Input

The ring contact on INPUT 2 acts as a data connection for the Neuro App. The Neuro App sends data

to the pedal using your mobile device’s headphone jack. Connect it to your mobile device using the

included stereo (TRS) 1/8” to ¼” cable. It can also accept daisy-chained Neuro data from another

Neuro-compatible pedal in the chain, provided that a TRS cable is used. The audio signal (if

applicable) will be on the tip contact of the plug, and the Neuro App data will be on the ring contact.

This allows audio and Neuro data to flow on the same cable.

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 7

MIDI Input

This is a standard 5-pin DIN connector that accepts MIDI control messages from external devices,

including program changes, continuous controllers (CCs), and MIDI clock. See the “Nemesis MIDI

Implementation”document for details.

Output Side Connections

Output 1

This is the primary audio output. Connect it to your amplifier, recording interface, or the next device

in your effects signal chain using a mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Output 2

OUTPUT 2 can act either as an audio output, external loop output, or as the daisy-chain data

connection for the Neuro App.

Output 2 as an Audio Output

The tip contact on OUTPUT 2 acts as the secondary audio output. It carries an audio signal when the

Nemesis is configured with a signal routing that uses stereo outputs. Connect it to your amplifier,

recording interface, or the next device in your effects signal chain using a mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Output 2 as an External Loop Send

If the Nemesis is configured in a routing mode that includes an external loop, OUTPUT 2 is the loop

send and INPUT 2 is the loop return. Connect OUTPUT 2 to the input of the external effects loop using a

mono (TS) ¼” cable.

Output 2 as a Neuro App Data Daisy-Chain Output

The ring contact on OUTPUT 2 acts as a data connection for the Neuro App, passing data from the

Nemesis to the next Source Audio effect in your signal chain. You can daisy-chain the Neuro App data

regardless of whether OUTPUT 2 is configured to output audio or not. Connect OUTPUT 2 to the next

device’s Neuro App Data input (usually INPUT 2) using a stereo (TRS) ¼” cable. The audio signal (if

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 8

applicable) will be on the tip contact of the plug, and the Neuro App data will be on the ring contact.

This allows audio and Neuro data to flow on the same cable.

MIDI Thru

This is a standard 5-pin DIN connector that echoes MIDI messages from the MIDI INPUT jack and sends

them to other devices. The Nemesis does not generate any of its own MIDI data, but it will copy and

output any data it receives.

Power and Control Connections

DC 9V (Power)

Connect to the included 9 Volt DC power supply. If you would like to use a 3rd-party supply, the

power supply must be regulated at 9 Volts DC (direct current), able to source at least 200 mA

(milliamps) of current, and the plug should have a tip-negative, barrel-positive polarity.

USB

Connect to your computer (Mac or Windows) to the Nemesis’ USB port (denoted by the icon)

using a standard mini USB cable. The Nemesis is a class compliant USB device, meaning that it does

not require any custom drivers. For more information about the Nemesis’s USB capabilities, refer to

the USB section of the User’s Guide.

Control Input

The 3.5 mm CONTROL INPUT port connects to external control devices such as the Source Audio Dual

Expression Pedal, Reflex Universal Expression Pedal, Neuro Hub, and Hot Hand Motion Controller.

For more information, refer to the Expression Pedal Input, Hot Hand Input, and Neuro Hub sections

of the User’s Guide.

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 9

Expression/Switch Pedal Input

The PEDAL INjack on the back panel connects to either an external passive expression pedal or

footswitch. The PEDAL IN SWITCH allows the user to select which type of external controller is being

used. Set to EXP for expression control or SWITCH for footswitch control.

See the External Control section for details.

Delay Engines

The Nemesis includes twelve basic delay effect engines, with 12 extended engines available via the

Neuro mobile app or MIDI. While some of the sound and functionality for each engine is fixed, many

parameters and controls can be edited using the Neuro App or MIDI to tweak the sounds to fit

specific use cases or to adjust to taste. Changes to the engines can be saved as user presets or

“burned” to override the factory settings of the effect dial.

Each effect engine uses the MOD KNOB, RATE KNOB, and INTENSITY KNOB in different ways to change the

sound of the effect. Here is a description of each effect engine and how the knobs are configured

respectively:

DIGITAL (0)

A classic clear digital delay with optional delay time (pitch) modulation. The INTENSITY KNOB controls

filtering allowing for low cut (high pass) filters (creating a thinner delay sound) or high cut (low pass)

filters (creating a warmer delay sound). Or, set the INTENSITY KNOB at 12 o’clock for a pure, unfiltered

delay. The Nemesis features a 56-bit signal path with a 24-bit delay line for pristine digital delays.

Time Knob Range: 10 milliseconds to 2.6 seconds

Mod and Rate: Control time (pitch) modulation depth and speed.

Intensity: Controls filtering on the delayed signal. A high cut filter is available on the left side of

the knob while a low cut filter is available on the right side. The middle range of the knob

disables both filters.

DIFFUSE (1)

This engine features a diffusion effect that smears the attack of the repeated signal, softening it and

allowing it to blend in more easily with the unprocessed dry signal. This creates an ethereal sound

reminiscent of some reverb effects. There is also some subtle filtering to shape the sound of the

repeats.

Time Knob Range: 30 milliseconds to 2.6 seconds

Mod and Rate: Control time (pitch) modulation depth and speed.

Dark

Clean

Bright

Thin

Warm

SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 10

Intensity: Controls the strength of the diffusion effect.

ANALOG (2)

This delay engine reproduces the characteristic dark sound of bucket brigade analog delays.

Traditional analog bucket brigade delays can be either resonant or warm. This engine focuses on

warmth, and was inspired in part by the classic EHX Deluxe Memory Man delay. True to the nature of

older bucket brigade delays, treble frequencies are reduced, even on the clean (dry) signal. If you

prefer a completely clean dry signal, this filtering can be disabled using the Neuro App or MIDI. For

more resonance, try the RESONANT ANALOG engine.

Time Knob Range: 40 milliseconds to 1.2 seconds

Mod and Rate: Control time (pitch) modulation depth and speed.

Intensity: Morphs between a dark and bright sounding delay.

TAPE (3)

A detailed re-creation of classic moving-head tape delays. Repeats are bandwidth limited and have

artifacts characteristic of tape delay, such as filtering, preamp saturation, noise, wow and flutter.

Time Knob Range: 20 milliseconds to 1.2 seconds

Mod and Rate: MOD controls wow and flutter depth and RATE controls tape speed.

Intensity: Controls the amount of filtering, noise and distortion applied to repeats.
