Stereo Operation & Signal Routing
The Collider Delay+Reverb creates dramatic mono or stereo effects via its stereo Input and Output
jacks. By default, the Collider auto-detects the cables connected to INPUTS and OUTPUTS 1 & 2 and
engages the appropriate Routing Mode. Stereo Routing can also be performed manually with the
Neuro Editors, select between “Mono In, Stereo Out” or “Stereo In, Stereo Out.”
Signal Path Options
Cascade Mode
The Collider Delay+Reverb’s standard signal path is Cascade Mode, or A -> B. This means that
when your guitar signal hits the pedal, it is processed first by Delay, then Reverb, then goes
outbound. This is the same as running a delay pedal before a reverb pedal in your pedal chain. In
Stereo Out, Cascade Mode always routes A -> B (the Delay side before the Reverb side) through
both outputs.
PLEASE NOTE: If you’d like to run your Reverb effect before your Delay effect, this is possible in
Cascade Mode. Use the “Unlock” feature on the Delay side to select a Reverb engine, then use it
again on the Reverb side to select a Delay engine.
Parallel Mode
The other routing option for signal path is Parallel Mode, or A + B. In Parallel Mode, when your
guitar signal hits the pedal, it is split, and processed by Delay and Reverb at the same time, then
mixed together. This is effectively running a delay effect and a reverb effect at the same time,
similar to the vintage analog Space Echo unit. In Mono Out, the signal is summed, and both
effects are heard at the same time. In Stereo Out, the default routing is that effects A+B are
combined and sent to each output.
Split Stereo (Left=A, Right=B)
In Parallel Mode, it is possible to split your signal so that engine A (Delay) and engine B (Reverb)
are sent to separate outputs. To achieve this, select the Split Stereo (Left=A, Right=B) option in
the Neuro Editors.
