About This Pedal
The Catalinbread Soft Focus Reverb Pedal recreates one of the most iconic ambient reverb sounds of the late ’80s and early ’90s, delivering lush, spacious reverb paired with subtle modulation in a compact stompbox format. This Tone Shop Guitars exclusive Red Edition is available only through Tone Shop and was produced specifically for our shop.
Originally inspired by legendary studio rack reverbs used by artists like Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, and other pioneers of ambient and shoegaze tones, the Soft Focus is designed to create depth, width, and movement without overwhelming your core guitar sound. From light spatial enhancement to fully immersive ambient textures, it remains musical, clear, and responsive.
This exclusive Red colorway sets it apart visually while retaining the same circuit, controls, and performance that made the Soft Focus a modern classic.
