A Deep Dive into one of Shoegaze's most recognizable Effects | Studies Ep. 6

Let's take an in depths look at the yamaha fx500, especially the soft focus patch, as one of the few algorithms that are kind of genre defining. In this video we get to know what the soft focus effect is, listen to it in a mix and on it's own and then checking out alternatives to get this sound on your pedalboard at home.

'Studies' is a series of videos for exploring different sounds or settings without any limitations. Sometimes I compare pedals, sometimes I check out different settings from pedals that are way to big to be featured in a Vignette demo.
