The blueSky from Strymon is a new kind of reverb... The ultimate kind! Ultra complete, it has become in a few months one of the references of the genre. The blueSky allows you to choose between 3 types of reverb. There is a Plate, a Room and a Spring. Each of these reverbs can benefit from one of the 3 available modes. Namely, the normal mode with which the effect is standard and unmodified, the modulation mode which allows you to add a slight chorus effect to gain depth and spacialization. And finally the shimmer mode which is a "regenerative" pitch shifter / octaveur. This last mode will take you straight to the soaring sounds like U2, Pink Floyd etc... The pedal has a depth control, a 100% analog mix allowing a balance between the dry and wet sound, from 100% dry to 100% wet. A pre-delay setting to delay the triggering of the effect is also present and we can sculpt in an extremely precise way the response and color of the reverb through the low and high damp pots that act as buttons Tone in the low and high spectrum. The blueSky is able to excel in all styles, from vintage plate, through spring reverb that makes a nice "douing" with each attack, to huge slices and ambiences, with a colossal spacialization and diffusion! No matter how you use it, the blueSky remains perfectly defined, natural and totally transparent. It acts like a layer on your original sound without ever distorting it. Whether you're a guitarist, keyboardist, or any other type of player, the blueSky is highly addictive and is sure to develop your creative side!Finally, the Favorite function (widely used throughout the range) allows you to save an additional preset, so you can access two totally different sounds immediately. The equivalent of two pedals in one! The blueSky has stereo inputs and outputs, a true bypass mode and a trail mode. It's entirely made in the USA and built around a brushed aluminum chassis, like all blueSky models.
