    Wow, some amazing sounds. Loved how it integrated with the Muff and Space Echo.

    That was a sweet demo. The vocal was so cool too. Very Ride sounding I thought. Which is great.

    I already wanted the Soft Focus and Space Echo and now I NEED them. Ordered a B stock Soft Focus today. Space Echo will be soon. A great alternative to both for those on a tighter budget is the Mooer Devin Townsend Ocean Machine. I have it and it has a lot of the same qualities and sounds of both run together.

    • @RPMusicStudios

      It’s definitely worth a try. I use my line6 dl4 before my overdrive all the time. It can be more aggressive. Let me know how it goes!

    Liked how you used Big Muff in conjunction with the Soft Focus. Was that recorded through a clean channel in an amp? Full on humbuckers too?

    • @RPMusicStudios
      @RPMusicStudios  Год назад +1

      My amp is a fender deluxe reverb custom and into the universal audio ox for ease of use while demo’ing. I used the humbuckers full on. Thanks for commenting!

    Great demo. I'm glad u played it before and after The Soft Focus as I use the Eqd Hizumitas and a Green Russian. I'm trying to decide on that "weird reverb pedal" between this, OBNE dark star and Walrus Slö(tva).

    • @RPMusicStudios
      @RPMusicStudios  2 года назад +1

      Thanks! Those are some tough choices. I have the dark star and it’s really good- possibly more versatile than the the soft focus. I haven’t tried the walrus slo but walrus audio makes some good stuff. I really like OBNE sunlight with fuzz. Imo OBNE is definitely killing it in the weirder territory.

      Thanks again for the demo & song building. I got the Soft Focus. Came down to space on board & finances as usual. I was looking for the "pretty broken" creative sounds too. I agree with your assessment of how it "hugs" the sound...where many others are a distraction or just outright annoying.
      So end of board is prolly...
      C.Soft focus> C.Echo Rec>C.Stereo Semiphore Trem> TC Transitions Stereo (Reverse or Ping Pong)-> Roland JC120 & JC77.

      @@lzryd Hi Brian. Congrats on getting the soft focus! When I bought it I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with it because of its limitations compared to modern offerings (midi, expression etc). But, the sound is really appealing. I’m a big fan of lexicon reverbs from the 80s because of the hugging nature of those sounds. At the end of the day it’s always about the sound and how it interacts with my playing. I really like how the octave up doesn’t sound like typical shimmer reverb. It’s subtle and not bright which really makes it blend in.
      Hope you get the sounds your after!

    I think your girlfriend can stop Jenny Craig now. rofl. But hey, that song at the end gave me flashbacks to Berlin and new wave kind of stuff. Nobody walks in LA! Maybe throw in some squeaky falsettos? So this pedal is useful. I feel that the Synph and Mod knobs should have a higher max level. They made it so the highest setting is barely noticeable. I'd like it if the max would actually make you a little seasick. The thing I really liked about using all that verb on everything is it made the bass really come through in the mix. Skip the cowbell. MORE BASS!!!
