Description
The Fathom packs four distinct reverb engines into a single stompbox, letting you move from a tucked-in, natural-sounding room to vast, modulated trails that hang in the air long after you’ve stopped playing. A three-way toggle dials in low, medium, or high modulation depth on top of whichever algorithm you’ve chosen, while the dedicated Dampen knob shapes the tone of the decay tail itself — darker and warmer, or open and bright.
- Hall — big, cavernous space with a natural high-frequency rolloff as the tail fades; X knob controls pre-delay.
- Plate — dense, full-bodied reverb with an even, smooth decay; X knob controls pre-delay.
- Lo-fi — filtered and gritty, ranging from warm and vintage to thin, AM-radio character; X knob controls filter width.
- Sonar — an octave-fed reverb blending high and low octaves via the X knob for shimmer or sub-toned depth.
Two momentary functions extend the pedal’s usefulness live: hold the Bypass switch while off to swell in a brief flash of reverb, or hold the Sustain switch while engaged to freeze and decrescendo the decay into a slow ambient fade. Trails mode can be toggled by holding Bypass for two seconds while plugging the pedal in, so your reverb tail keeps ringing out even when you switch it off mid-swell.
