Stereo I/O, MIDI In/Thru (including 3.5 mm TRS), USB‑C (Neuro 3.0, MIDI over USB), control input, Kill‑Dry, switchable True/Analog Buffered Bypass. Included 9V DC supply (~180 mA). As of 2026-07-13, the price was £349.
Source Audio takes on the Fender Tre-Verb, Keeley Hydra, and venerable Strymon Flint - with a few more modes and features onboard. Source Audio are brilliant at Reverbs - I still love my Ventris, and they’ve covered the same flavours of Tremolo as you would expect - should do really well. This is a very neat form factor - almost exactly per the recent Lo-Fi Artifakt - it’s great that Source Audio has found further use for this format - this may just be my pick of the ’tremoverbs’ - as long as the algorithms are as solid as usual - this should do really well!

I can definitely see one of these in my future - it’s priced about where I would expect it to be for that feature set!
I’m not overly enamoured with that stubby cactus graphic - I would have preferred just to have a plain copper hued enclosure - per the background colour - that would have been more elegant - and cleaner.
You can read up more on the Pathways Tremo-Verb on the Source Audio Website.
Still a very decent offering!
