Overview

A reverb pedal with lush, shoegaze-inspired soundscapes.

The Catalinbread Soft Focus Shoegaze Deluxe plate reverb effects pedal captures the dreamlike textures that defined the shoegaze era and reimagines them for modern players. Inspired by the legendary "Soft Focus" patch from the Yamaha FX500, it expands the sound with six immersive programs that range from infinite reverb and pitch-shifted delay to shimmering, octave-rich ambience. The onboard distortion circuit adds another layer of dimension, letting you blend warm drive or thick overtones directly into your reverb trail. With expression pedal support, tap tempo, and a trails function for seamless decay, the Soft Focus Deluxe invites endless exploration. From lush, drifting chords to dense, cinematic washes, this pedal transforms any rig into a world of swirling color and atmosphere.

Enhanced Programs for Creative Exploration

The Soft Focus Deluxe features six unique programs that build upon the original Soft Focus patch. These include infinite reverb trails, extra modulation voices, shimmering octave effects, and pitch-shifted delays. Each program highlights a different aspect of the original sound while adding modern innovations. The ability to customize delay times and reverb settings ensures a tailored experience for creating lush, immersive soundscapes. This expanded feature set allows for greater experimentation and delivers a palette of textures to inspire your next sonic adventure.

Integrated Distortion Circuit for Added Sonic Depth

An onboard op-amp distortion circuit enhances the Soft Focus Deluxe's tonal versatility. With series and parallel operation modes, the distortion can be set to either drive the reverb engine or run alongside it for unique tonal blends. The mix control adjusts the balance between dry and affected signals for added precision. Whether adding subtle warmth or velvety overdrive, this distortion circuit enriches the pedal's overall character and helps it stand out in any mix.

User-Friendly Controls and Connectivity

The Soft Focus Deluxe offers an intuitive layout with adjustable parameters for reverb, delay, and modulation. A multi-function jack supports expression pedals or tap tempo for real-time control of delay times, input volume, and more. Buffered bypass ensures seamless signal flow, while the trail functionality allows reverb tails to naturally fade. These features make it easy to fine-tune your sound while maintaining a smooth and consistent workflow on stage or in the studio.
