BSRI Soft Rains and the Smell of the Ground Textural Reverb

Baltimore Sonic Research Institute Soft Rains and the Smell of the Ground Textural Reverb Soft Rains and the Smell of the Ground is a big washy textural reverb pedal that can sound pretty and lush and also sound brash and chaotic. 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. Its the pedal I wanted for a new band where I want to play fewer notes but have them feel like there is much more going on. Plus the name is a reference to a Ray Bradbury poem and that's fun and educational. Lets look at the controls: Level - Sets the level of the reverb signal that gets mixed into your chain Resonance - Cuts or boosts the low end of the reverb effect Air - Cuts or boost the presence and treble of the reverb effect Soak - Sets the decay
