Geez, you're on a roll with pedals, Scott. I'm learning a lot reading the responses.

This is a serious jack of all trades delay pedal. Holy crap. More options than one can imagine. One thing very cool is you can hold down the tap tempo button and your current repeats just keep playing over and over until you take your foot off. So, you get some nice melody line working repeats, hold the tap tempo and then you can dry signal solo over the top of it.
Source Audio is trying to make this the last delay echo pedal you ever buy. And I've not even delved into the computer controlled models via the USB cable. There is a lot going inside this beast.

That's pretty ambitious. Usually 'jack-of all-trades' products do a lot of things but not necessarily very well. Quantity over quality. How good a job do you think this pedal does of all those things it tackles?

Re: Source Audio Nemesis Delay super pedal
I'm currently obsessing over Echoplex style tape delays. Admittedly I've got extreme tunnel vision on it these past few weeks. I expect an actual 60's echoplex to be in my shop at some point soon, yea, it's that bad.
It's nails it very well. I ran the Nemesis A/B against the Belle Epoch. The BE has a bit of boost to it, so I have to compensate with my guitar volume knob slightly. The Nemesis has way more options, different trails and such. In fact, I'd have to spend a lot more time with it this weekend to give a proper review. The BE on the other hand seems to have more a randomized warble mod effect when engaged.
The slap back setting on the Nemesis is really good as well. The bucket brigade analog model is well done also. There are some settings that I'm not exploring, like the reverse and the octave shift thing. I've not gotten into the software and had a deep dive yet.
However, jack of all trades, master of none is the actual phrase. I'd say so far, jack of all trades and master of several. That's my honest opinion, but I'm totally in the honeymoon stage. I've got the Nemesis, the Echorec and the Belle Epoch lined up together and waiting on a Vapor Trails to arrive as well.

Congrats! The Nemesis is a great pedal! The options, tone, looks, size, and price are all very good. If my switcher had midi, or if the Nemesis had A/B and scroll up AND down access to presets (like Timeline & DD-500), I'd have one. Maybe V-2!

Re: Source Audio Nemesis Delay super pedal
I would have to check but I think you can plug in a two button footswitch and scroll the presets.

Makes me sound like I can actually play something.

Re: Source Audio Nemesis Delay super pedal
This was kind of the year of the delay pedal at NAMM. Lotsa cool new stuff out there.
Where the SA stuff gets really interesting is when you start accumulating their stuff. Some of the integration they have available is pretty wild, making your pedalboard behave more like a multi-fx, where each pedal has different states for different presets. The guys at the company seem really nice, too.

Back in the late 1960's and early 70's you'd hear an occasional band or album use a tape echo for delays. But not nearly often enough for me, it seemed that they were used so sparingly. What a great sound as the repeats decayed. I used to be an Alice Cooper fan (original band, first 2 albums, before they went commercial) and loved when Glen Buxton used his at the band's gigs in the Detroit area.
