SA260 Nemesis Delay User’s Guide 9
Expression/Switch Pedal Input
The PEDAL IN jack 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.
