Yes, the Source Audio Pathways features independent footswitches for both the reverb and tremolo effects, allowing you to activate or bypass each one separately.

How many presets can I save on the pedal?

The pedal comes with 16 instantly callable presets. This can be expanded to 128 presets when using MIDI control.

Does this pedal require a specific type of power supply?

Yes, it requires a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply with a minimum current draw of 200mA. It does not come with a power supply.

What are the different reverb types available?

Pathways offers seven reverb types: Spring, Plate, Hall, LFI, Shimmer, Ethereal, and Mod.

What are the different tremolo variations?

The three tremolo variations are Bias, Opto, and Harmonic.

Can I connect two amplifiers to this pedal?

Yes, the pedal features stereo outputs, allowing you to connect to two amplifiers for a stereo sound or for sending the signal to separate processing chains.

Is the Neuro 3 app required to use the pedal?

No, the pedal can be used effectively with its onboard controls for basic operation. However, the Neuro 3 app unlocks advanced editing capabilities, preset management, and firmware updates.

Troubleshooting

No sound output from the pedal

Ensure the pedal is powered on and receiving sufficient power. Check that all cables are securely connected to the correct input and output jacks. Verify that the bypass mode is not unexpectedly engaged and that effect levels are turned up.

Tremolo speed does not match the song tempo

Use the dedicated tap tempo footswitch to set the desired tremolo speed. Ensure you are tapping at a consistent rate. Check MIDI clock settings if controlling via MIDI.

App connection fails

Confirm the USB-C cable is functioning correctly and is securely connected to both the pedal and your device. Ensure you have the latest version of the Neuro 3 app installed. Restart both the pedal and your connected device.

Reverb or Tremolo effect is not present

Check that the respective effect's footswitch is engaged. Verify the effect's level and depth/mix controls are set appropriately. Ensure the effect type is selected and not set to a bypass or off state within the Neuro 3 app.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your instrument to the input and your amplifier to the output using standard 1/4-inch TS instrument cables. For stereo operation, use both output jacks. Power the pedal using a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (minimum 200mA, not included). Connect to a computer or mobile device via USB-C for access to the Neuro 3 app for deeper editing and preset management. MIDI connections can be made via standard 5-pin DIN cables to a MIDI controller or host.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard guitar and bass signal chains. Works with most 9V DC power supplies. Full MIDI functionality requires a compatible MIDI controller or sequencer. The Neuro 3 app is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Care: Keep the pedal clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Protect from excessive moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Ensure all connections are secure before use.
