Boston, MA - Source Audio is proud to introduce the Pathways Reverb & Tremolo, a powerful new effects pedal that unites two of the most enduring effects in the history of electric guitar. Combining reverb and tremolo in a single compact housing, Pathways delivers the classic dimensional tones that have defined recordings from the earliest days of rock, blues, and country, while providing modern flexibility for today’s musicians, producers, and sound designers. Its streamlined interface allows players to dial in inspiring tones within seconds, whether seeking subtle, "always-on" reverbs, vintage tremolo pulse, or immersive spatial effects.
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. 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 allows users to pair any of its seven reverb effects with any of its three tremolo engines, offering a wide palette of rhythmic and spatial possibilities. Players can select the warm, flowing modulation of BIAS tremolo, the pronounced rhythmic pulse of OPTO tremolo, or the complex, phaser-like movement of HARMONIC tremolo.
Designed with ease of use in mind, Pathways features dedicated footswitches for independent activation of reverb and tremolo effects, allowing players to quickly adapt their sound in live or studio environments. Separate parameter controls for each effects section provide immediate hands-on adjustment, making it easy to shape tone without navigating complex menus.
Additional professional features include up to 16 onboard presets for quick recall of favorite sounds (128 presets accessible via MIDI), stereo inputs and outputs, tap tempo functionality for tremolo effects, and full MIDI implementation. Pathways also connects with Source Audio’s Neuro 3 software ecosystem, providing access to deep editing capabilities, preset sharing, and an expanding library of artist-created sounds from the global Neuro Community.
With its combination of authentic vintage character, modern flexibility, and intuitive design, the Pathways Reverb + Tremolo provides musicians with a versatile and inspiring tool for shaping space, movement, and atmosphere.
The Pathways Reverb & Tremolo retails for $349 and is now available from your local Source Audio dealer or sourceaudio.net/store. For more info, visit sourceaudio.net
