Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Encounter combines six delay types and six reverb types in one black pedal, with the two effects available independently or together. Its routing can be set for series, parallel, or split-stereo operation, while separate footswitches give delay and reverb their own on-pedal control. Stereo 1/4-inch I/O, MIDI over 1/8-inch TRS, USB-C preset and firmware access, and Neuro 3 editing give it a broad control setup. It stores eight presets on the pedal, with additional preset storage through Neuro 3.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building delay-and-reverb patches that need separate footswitch control during a performance.
- Stereo pedalboard setups using series, parallel, or split-stereo effect routing.
- Editing and managing presets from Neuro 3 on supported mobile or desktop platforms.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without a 9V DC center-negative supply capable of delivering 300 mA.
- Players needing a pedal with a power supply included.
