The Catalinbread Soft Focus has developed its own cult following in Ambient, Shoegaze and Post-Rock circles as one of the go-to ambient reverb-style pedals. It took one of the most regarded and legendary patches from a vintage Yamaha multi-effects unit widely used within Shoegaze type genres and refined it into basically a Shoegaze on and off pedal. The Catalinbread Soft Focus Deluxe takes things further with even more control, added distortion and now 6 program modes to switch between.

  • Program 1 – Program 1 is the standard Soft Focus patch that can be found on the original pedal.
  • Program 2 – Not a million miles away from the original patch, program 2 offers extended decay time and trails for near-infinite amounts of ambience.
  • Program 3 – Program 3 adds deeper modulation for even more warble and pitch-bending capabilities.
  • Program 4 – This program offers more of a ‘shimmer’ reverb-type setting, while still maintaining the vibe and mojo of the original Soft Focus.
  • Program 5 – Like program 4 but with even deeper shimmer sounds as well as pitch-shifting delays.
  • Program 6 – The original program 1 Soft Focus sound but with the addition of input volume control for unbelievable swells via an expression pedal or by using the ‘time’ control on the pedal.

In addition, the Catalinbread Soft Focus Deluxe also features a foot-switchable high-gain op-amp distortion with fixed gain and level that can be blended in via the distortion level control. Further tone shaping can be achieved with the series/parallel switch. In series, the distortion happens before the Soft Focus effect, similar to how a traditional pedal chain would be laid out and in parallel, the distortion circuit replaces the dry signal path within the Soft Focus and the mix control now blends between the distortion sound and the Soft Focus sound.

Here’s what Catalinbread say about the Catalinbread Soft Focus Deluxe Shoegaze Reverb Delay Pedal:

Our Soft Focus wrote a new volume of all-in-one shoegaze tone, but we’ve gone above and beyond to bring you the final word in shoegaze, the Soft Focus Deluxe. The Deluxe model installs the missing delay function from the original FX500 patch, giving you exacting control over every parameter across six different programs. Dip your toes into a vast array of shoegaze textures and soundscapes with an integrated footswitchable distortion circuit, giving you the option to run it in series with or in parallel with the Soft Focus patch. We’ve also upped the stakes with a multi-function jack capable of expression control or tap tempo. Your shoes will never look the same again.

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Delay — A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels. From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.. Focus. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included.

Reverb — A reverb pedal is like the rich sauce that ties every flavour on the plate into one smooth experience. It adds depth, warmth, and atmosphere — the sonic equivalent of a perfectly reduced glaze that lingers on the tongue. Whether you’re after the subtle ambience of a cosy café (spring or plate reverb) or the grand echoes of a cathedral (hall or shimmer reverb), this is where your tone breathes and expands. A touch of reverb can turn a dry sound into something lush and inviting — but pour on too much, and it’s all you can taste. Used with finesse, it’s the finishing touch that transforms your tone from plain to unforgettable.. Shoegaze. Soft.
