Released on Christmas Eve 2024, the Keeley Soft Reverb is a $99 pedal that delivers three versatile reverb modes designed for studio and stage use, including one simulating the infamous “Soft Focus” patch from a Yamaha rack effect beloved by shoegaze guitarists.
Its brand new algorithms provide rich, immersive effects that should cover most basics for guitarists:
- Soft Focus for ambient textures,
- Spring for classic amp-style reverb,
- Plate for vintage-inspired studio tones.
Simple Dwell and Level controls make it easy to shape the effect to suit your mix, whether you need subtle ambiance or a more pronounced space.
Unexpectedly considering the price point, this is a device built in the US.
