Maybe Heaven will be the only place were you'll find a celestial sound than this.

A classic reverb
A really well built pedal with outstanding reverb engines. Perfect for ambient or worship music.
Top notch Reverb

beautiful sounds
It's my buddy for 5 years now! Very very satisfied.
Awash with Ambience
Bought this to pair with a Strymon El Capistan: you know the score... tape delay into gorgeous reverb for that ambient sound.
The Bluesky does not dissapoint and has lots of tones from subtle to over-the-top wettness. It has a loveley (semi-hidden, so RTFM!) tails feature, so that bypassing the pedal does not cut the effect dead, but carries on fading away, especially usefull if you have an epic long reverb running.
There are a fair number of combinations, with different types of reverberation. Modulation is nice, and can add a subtle twist to your sound. The vanilla reverbs sound crystal clear, but of course you can shape the top and bottom end to get a darker tone or ethereal high end only.Everything is just a knob twist away, so no menu diving. Easy.
Overall, there is nothing to dislike. True bypass is there if your inner tone-junkie needs it, but the analog bypass with trails is a winner. I found no issues with tone-suck.
In a lot of cases, unless you are after a specific effect, this pedal can be considered an essential, in the line, set and forget - just gives air and room to your sound; or of course you can get massive long reverb tails that you hone and save as a favourite setting, so you can punch it in when needed.
If you don't need memories and MIDI - but just want the Strymon Reverb Sound, this is brilliant. I love it.
very nice pedal.
best shimmer ever. perfect for acoustic guitar in ballads
This product is essential for me
Fantastic algorithms and solid build design. Maybe better than the Big Sky.
extremely happy with the Bluesky. One of the best Reverb Pedals I have used and it is really easy to use. The options are limited but you have plenty to work with and audio- and reverb quality are great
Best reverb!
I play CCM-music at church, and purchased the Bluesky because the music was gravitated towards that kind of sound. The quality of the reverb is top-notch (especially the shimmer effect), and three years later it's still working perfectly fine. I prefer the spring reverb on this over the spring reverb on my Fender Deluxe Reverb amp!
The only problem I've ever had was one of the screws for the output jack likes to come off, and this has happened multiple times, where I unplug my Planet Waves patch cable and the screw + rubber O-ring is stuck to the cable. I've lost the O-ring as a result, but it's not too big of a deal.
