Ventris

Can’t get enough reverb? How’s two high-end reverb processors in a single pedal with options for single or combined use sound? Fantastic!

Those requiring the ultimate do-it-all reverb pedal have been catered for lately by the units from Strymon, Empress and others. But one pedal that has been highly anticipated since its unveiling at the 2017 NAMM show is the Source Audio Ventris, billed as a Dual Reverb with the promise of moving the whole high-end reverb game along.

Now, finally, we have a pedal with a relatively modest footprint that contains two totally independent reverbs that can be used singly or combined in parallel, in series or Left/Right – with various modes of mono and stereo operation being available. There are 12 distinct reverb engines available from the front panel but, like previous Source Audio pedals, more will be available via the Neuro software, an editor program, available in iOS and desktop versions that we don’t have at the time of review but which should be on-stream by the time you read this.
