Bluesky : amazingly versative reverb pedal

I bought the Strymon Bluesky after using their El Capistan delay for a year or so and being knocked out with the quality. I use it with pedal steel guitar along with the El Capistan and the results are amazing. The Bluesky is really versatile for a pedal of its size. It's also super quiet and doesn't affect the tone when dis-engaged. It's really transparent in a pedal chain. I use mainly the Plate Reverb setting but also the Shimmer for more ambient textures. The low and high damp feature I haven't really explored using yet but the results are definitely noticeable in terms of EQ'ing the reverberated signal. The Shimmer effect alone is worth the money, giving a real Daniel Lanois vibe to the effect. Beautiful and really detailed. I only use both the Blue Sky and their El Capistan delay pedal in my effects and coupled together, there is a wide range of tones I can conjure up. The real icing on the cake is the stereo in's and out's. This provides an enormously wide and rich stereo picture and really showcases the true power of this pedal.

For the price, it is very light weight and does seem a little flimsy or that it could break easily but thankfully it has been solid as a rock. Highly recommended on any pedal board! Strymon are making unbelievably good pedals.
