After a lot of testing, I think the delay on the Soft Focus patch is fed back into one another (crossfeed). The Crisscross delay in the Line 6 Helix gets close to that skittering sound you hear on Soft Focus if you take out the chorus and reverb. I get why people think it's multitap because it does sound similar but I'm positive that it's simply the left channel 250ms delay feeding back into the right channel 380ms delay and vice versa.interesting, I know some indie bands that use this signal chain so I just asked them
reverb > eq > flanger > delay > chorus > compressor
listening to some examples I heard pretty large variations, some with liquid, fast flanger, some with very subtle and more chorus at the end, but though you might have difficulty finding a dedicated reverb that does all of those, the quality of the reverb doesn't really matter as the downstream effects will obscure it anyway
most of the examples I listened to have multitap delays set to eight or quarter notes
I think the eq is in there just to attenuate the top and bottom frequency ranges and I don't see why you couldn't lave that out, and most reverbs have filters for that anyway
