Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Soft Focus Deluxe combines reverb, delay, modulation, and a footswitchable op-amp distortion circuit in one pedal. Six programs cover the Original Soft Focus sound alongside Infinite Reverb, Extra Chorus, Shimmer, Octave Delay, and Expression Volume. Series or Parallel modes determine how the distortion works with the effect engine, and the Mix control balances dry and processed signal. Buffered bypass with trails lets the decay continue after bypass, while the TRS multi-function jack can accept expression control or tap-tempo duties.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio rigs that need reverb trails to continue naturally when the effect is bypassed.
- Building layered ambient, post-rock, or shoegaze parts with selectable reverb, delay, and modulation programs.
- Real-time control of delay time, input level, or volume through the assignable TRS expression jack.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need MIDI or USB connectivity.
- Battery-powered pedalboard setups.
- Tap-tempo control without a separately sold compatible CB Tap device.
