Bluesky : Beautiful reverb sounds

11 years ago

A really great, noiseless reverb pedal whether you are recording or playing live. The controls give you a lot of options for shaping a very specific reverb tone - plate, spring, room - and within those settings, the high and low damp controls and pre-delay allow you to further colour the tone.

If you like the idea of modulated reverb, the Bluesky has two really unique settings, mod produces a chorus effect, and shimmer adds beautiful octave overtones. Unlike other modulated reverbs I've used (e.g. the Holy Grail's Flerb), you'll probably use these quite a lot, rather than be mildly repulsed by them (*cough* Flerb) and never use them again.

Like all Strymon pedals the Bluesky sounds fantastic, lush and super high quality. I also have the El Capistan, and it's more or less impossible to dial in anything bad-sounding on either, yet the interface is simple enough to find the tone you're looking for. Highly recommended.
