Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb Pedal

Featuring two completely independent reverb processors, the Ventris hosts a powerful set of 12 on-board reverb engines with true spillover between presets.

The Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb was a monumentally ambitious project. The 2016 release of the Nemesis Delay introduced an engineering plateau for Source Audio, but the Ventris Dual Reverb takes guitar effects engineering to new heights. This supremely intelligent pedal features two completely independent reverb processors, essentially housing a perfect pair of high-powered reverb pedals in a single box. It is the Ventris Dual Reverb's powerful dual processing that sets the pedal apart from its predecessors and introduces a forward leap in sound quality and function. Why?

Check out how the Source Audio Ventris stacks up in our Reverb Roundup:


Dual Reverb Effects: The power to combine two reverb engines truly expands the ambient possibilities and unleashes the creative mind.
True Spillover: Seamless and unlimited "spillover" from one preset to the next is an enormous advantage in live situations. There are no limitations in terms of reverb type or the duration of the transition.

Massive Processing Power: Dual processing eliminates bloated all-in-one reverb programs. Instead of being forced to allocate 5% of the processing power to something vital and complex like the True Spring reverb, we can now dedicate 100% of the processor, opening the door to a new frontier of realism and sonic exploration.

Source Audio's two man engineering team of Bob Chidlaw and Jesse Remignanti took extreme care in crafting the Ventris Reverb's exceptionally spacious tones, covering all the bases read more from beautifully natural reverberations to haunting "unnatural" tones. The Ventris Dual Reverb includes 12 onboard reverb engines as well as an ever-expanding collection of reverb effects available via the Neuro Mobile App or Neuro Desktop Editor.

The True Spring engine takes full advantage of the Ventris Dual Reverb's immense processing might, perfectly capturing the unmistakable "drip" of vintage spring reverb tanks. It was a massive undertaking, requiring a deep understanding of the physical characteristics of reverb springs, advanced experience in sound design, and exceptional processing power. Chief Scientist Bob Chidlaw drew upon all his knowledge and experience in the creation of the True Spring engine, from his days as head engineer at Kurzweil to the creation of Source Audio's Soundblox 2 Dimension Reverb. The result is an exceptionally realistic sound that flawlessly captures all the subtleties and idiosyncrasies of classic spring reverb equipped amplifiers.

In addition to the True Spring engine, the Ventris delivers a comprehensive collection of perennial reverb favorites. The Plate reverb engine has the marvelously lush and diffuse effect found in classic plate fixtures from the late 1950s. There are also excellent simulations of natural acoustic spaces - choose from a range of room sizes starting with the warm and tight subtleties of the Room engine and advancing to the expansive reverberations of the gargantuan E-Dome. Finally, the Hall engine captures the lush sounds of high-powered Lexicon rack units from the 1980s.

The Ventris also offers a fantastic collection of unnatural reverb effects. The Swell engine creates a reverb volume swell for gradually emerging pads of sound. Shimmer mixes in two pitch-shifting reverberations, adding a touch of angelic or demonic sheen. Reverse turns the verb around for a chilling and dramatic backmasking effect. The Offspring engine resurrects the forgotten "Laserverb" effect from early Kurzweil rack units -- it is a unique retro-futuristic sound that conjures images of sci-fi battles from a galaxy far, far away.

The Ventris Dual Reverb also features a long list of mandatory control functions and introduces some bold new ones. The A+B toggle switch makes it super-easy to select between the pedal's two signal processors or combine them into entirely unique dual reverb effects. Stereo Inputs and Outputs provide a mega-wide stereo spread for larger-than-life ambience. The OPTION Footswitch offers a variety of hands-free control options including preset scrolling,

The Source Audio Ventris Dual Reverb pedal is my first ever guitar pedal purchase. So I don't have anything to compare it to, but I am very impressed. I really wanted a Strymon, but zZounds don't carry that brand. So, I opted to try the Ventris and I'm glad that I did. I've been using it primarily with my Prophet Rev. 2 -16. I turn off the Prophet's effects and route the sound through the Ventris with amazing results. The soundscapes and lush ambiences almost bring me to tears. I could've gone cheap or more expensive but I'm glad that I chose the Ventris instead!
