Source Audio Launches Pathways Reverb & Tremolo with Stereo I/O, MIDI, and 128 Presets
Source Audio has expanded its pedal lineup with the Pathways Reverb & Tremolo, which combines the two effects into a single unit. The company says the pedal delivers “classic dimensional tones” from early rock, blues, and country, while adding modern flexibility for today’s artists.
“Each of Pathways’ effects engines has been precision-engineered to capture the tonal characteristics, musical response, and dynamic behavior of the most respected reverb and tremolo circuits in audio history,” they write. “The pedal’s SPRING reverb recreates the lively splash associated with classic American tube amplifiers, while TANK produces the distinctive ‘drip’ heard in vintage outboard spring reverb units. PLATE delivers the smooth, even decay traditionally associated with studio plate reverbs, and SLAP evokes the slapback tape echo effects that helped define the sound of rock n roll in the 1950s. HALL provides rich, expansive ambience inspired by studio rack processors, while ROOM and ECHO reproduce the natural reflections of real acoustic spaces.”
Pathways has seven reverbs and three tremolo engines: BIAS, OPTO, and HARMONIC. Each reverb effect can be paired with any of the tremolos for a wide palette of sounds.
Aside from it unique tones, Pathways has plenty of flexibility. It offers stereo ins and outs as well as 128 preset locations, MIDI capabilities, and a USB-C port for Neuro 3 editing and firmware updates.
The Source Audio Pathways Reverb & Tremolo is available now for $349.
