Parallax

The Parallax combines Keeley's Caverns delay engine with the Realizer's dreamy reverbs, built specifically for shoegaze and ambient players. Three reverb modes—Hall, Reverse, and Soft Focus—draw from classic 80s/90s rack units that defined the genre.

Soft Focus mode nails that famous Yamaha FX500 patch that became a shoegaze staple. Reverse reverb channels the Yamaha SPX90 and Alesis Midiverb II with envelope-triggered vibrato mimicking a Jazzmaster tremolo bar. Hall adds octave-up feedback for infinitely ascending shimmer.

Delay side runs 30-650ms with Light, Deep, or no modulation. Internal dip switches let you route reverb and delay independently for complex wet/dry rigs. The $219 answer to stacking three separate pedals.
