Description
A classic combination, reimagined.
Reverb and tremolo have shaped guitar tone for over half a century — one adding dimension, the other adding motion. Source Audio's Pathways brings this timeless pairing together in a single compact pedal, combining seven reverb and echo voices with three distinct tremolo styles for a platform that feels immediate on day one and keeps rewarding exploration for years after.
Seven reverb and echo engines Dial in the splashy, lively bounce of Spring, the deep drip of Tank, or the smooth even decay of a studio Plate. Slapback recreates the tape-echo snap that helped define 1950s rock and roll, while Room, Echo, and a characterful digital Hall round out the collection with natural, open ambience. Each mode is voiced to capture the tonal character and dynamic feel of the original hardware it's inspired by — without the noise or unpredictability of vintage circuits.
Three tremolo flavors Choose from aggressive Optical trem, smooth amp-style Bias trem, or a phaser-like Harmonic trem for a different kind of pulse. Independent Speed and Depth controls, plus selectable note divisions and tap tempo, make it easy to lock the modulation to your playing or your band.
Two effects, two footswitches, total control Reverb and tremolo can be run independently or together, and each has its own dedicated footswitch — giving you the flexibility of two standalone pedals in one enclosure. The tremolo footswitch doubles as a tap-tempo switch, and a global Kill-Dry mode lets Pathways sit cleanly in an effects loop or parallel mix.
Built to grow with your rig Stereo ins and outs open up expansive routing across two amps or a full studio chain. Full MIDI support (Program Change, CC, and Clock) plus 128 preset slots mean Pathways can live comfortably in a MIDI-controlled board, while the free Neuro 3 app (Mac, Windows, iOS, Android) unlocks deeper editing, effect reordering, and access to a growing library of factory and community presets.
Whether you're chasing vintage amp-in-the-room tones or building something more expansive, Pathways gives you a well-worn combination with a lot of new road ahead.
