Plate: This high-quality, vintage reverb gives you the smooth and crisp ambience heard on classic records from the '60s and '70s. The Strymon Blue Sky is praised for its pristine and high-quality sound. Its analog-inspired DSP (Digital Signal Processing) ensures accurate and detailed reverb tones, making it one of the best sounding reverb pedals available. Is the Strymon Blue Sky easy to tweak and customize? Without doubt one of the reasons that the original BlueSky was such a hit was its Shimmer mode that added a chorus of ethereal crystalline octaves to your reverb sound – aka the praise and worship setting. On the V1 Shimmer was simply one of the two esoteric modes (along with modulated ‘verb) selectable by one of the three-way switches, but the V2 gives Shimmer its own bespoke knob. This is significant for a number of reasons; for starters it gives you the ability to precisely control the intensity of the effect, allowing you to subtly add a soupçon of octave to sparkle up your sound or crank the knob into full ‘cathedral in the clouds’ octave ecstasy, or all stops in between.

Intuitive and powerful tone-shaping controls allow you to easily dial-in an endless variety of inspiring ambient flavours. The MIDI Output mode must be set to determine what kind of MIDI data is sent out by blueSky. *** NOTE : If you are only sending MIDI data to blueSky or if you are using the Strymon MIDI EXP cable, the MIDI Output mode must be set to OFF.*** There are a vast array of sounds present with the Strymon BigSky, more than we could cover within the constraints of this article. For players who like things ambient or want to experiment with different sounds, there’s plenty here to keep you satiated, for those who are looking for more traditional reverb tones, the BigSky is probably overkill. Next, you will need to select a MIDI channel to communicate with blueSky. blueSky is set to MIDI channel 1 by default.No, the Strymon Blue Sky is a reverb pedal and does not include delay functions. However, Strymon does offer separate delay pedals such as the El Capistan. How does the Strymon Blue Sky compare to the Big Sky reverb pedal?
