It features a momentary feedback loop that can sustain reverb trails into a long evolving smeared pad or swell into blasts of feedback and walls of sound. Soft Rains is great for running into distortion pedals to fill out a lot of space in a mix and make the spaces between notes feel full of life and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLevel sets the amount of reverb signal mixed into the chain\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eResonance cuts or boosts the low end of the reverb effect\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAir cuts or boosts the presence and treble of the reverb effect\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSoak sets the decay time of the reverberations\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExpand controls the signal amount recirculated during Expand switch activation\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBypass footswitch enables true bypass for bringing the effect in and out of the signal path\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExpand footswitch activates momentary feedback loop for evolving decay or oscillation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe pedal was designed by Baltimore Sonic Research Institute to suit a project where fewer notes are played, but each one fills space with life and movement.
