Source Audio Encounter Delay + Reverb: Algorithm Expansion on the Collider Platform

Image
image source: www. sourceaudio.net The Source Audio   Encounter Delay + Reverb   builds upon the foundation established by the Collider, utilizing an identical chassis while introducing a fundamentally different algorithmic approach. The primary differentiator centers on the selection and distribution of processing engines, featuring three newly developed algorithms alongside a curated mix from the established Nemesis and Ventris lines. The hardware configuration retains the Mini USB connection standard—a choice that feels increasingly anachronistic in an era dominated by USB-C connectivity. Despite this legacy interface, the unit maintains full compatibility with Source Audio's Neuro software ecosystem. The physical layout mirrors its predecessor: dual footswitches handling delay/tap and reverb functions, three main rotary encoders, mode selection, and two context-sensitive controls designated as   Control 1 and   Control 2 . These variable controls adapt their...

Fjord Fuzz Thor: Silicon Transistor Gated Fuzz Circuit

Image
image source: www.andertons.co.uk The Thor Fuzz by Fjord Fuzz is a circuit characterized by instability and breadth of function. Although related in concept to the company’s Gjallarhorn model, its scope is broader, with certain elements recalling the Shift-Line Termofuzz. Originally developed several years ago, the design was initially set aside due to its extreme character. Its release in 2025 reflects that nature: the unit is intentionally unconventional and nonconforming. It is positioned as a device that works best in unpredictable conditions, producing results that resist standardization. Drawing on the history of fuzz — from late-1960s innovations through grunge and into modern psychedelic rock — the Thor is intended as a continuation of that tradition, with emphasis on more aggressive and less familiar voicings. At its foundation, the circuit resembles a three-transistor silicon Tone Bender MkII. From this base, the Thor generates a wide range of outcomes, including: Expan...
