Strymon Blue Sky Reverberator · Pedal effect

Product Information

You won't find many compact reverb pedals that can rival the sheer amount of control offered by the Blue Sky V2, all while remaining tactile and intuitive: To enter Save mode, press and hold the FAV footswitch. The FAV LED will blink GREEN to indicate that blueSky is waiting to receive a MIDI Program Change message.

If you’re looking for something that doesn’t require menu diving or sub-menus to get the best out of, or you’re just more likely to use more traditional reverb types, then we’d go for the BlueSky. You’re not super limited to traditional sounds should the mood take you, but you’re less likely to suffer from option paralysis.For Mono INPUT and Stereo OUTPUT on our small 2 footswitch pedals: Connect a standard mono TS instrument cable into the INPUT and connect a mono TS instrument cable to both the LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS of the pedal. ( excludes Compadre, Riverside, and Sunset) The BigSky’s connectivity is a big factor in why it's used by so many different guitarists. It’s got dedicated stereo in and outs, meaning it’ll work just as well in complex stereo guitar rigs as it will as a tool in the studio. It’s also got MIDI in and out that allows you to control any of the pedal's parameters from a MIDI foot controller. BLUE – THROUGH – Incoming MIDI messages are sent to the MIDI OUT without any additional MIDI messages generated by blueSky.

Yes, the Strymon Blue Sky is designed to provide clarity and presence in a live gig setting. Its high-quality reverbs are known to blend well with other instruments and cut through the mix without getting lost. How would you describe the sound quality of the Strymon Blue Sky? Advance experimentation with playing subtlety and different impacts in your bind opens the way to abnormal sounds. Add a yelling fluff to the condition, play straight scalar examples—giving careful consideration to held notes and particular twists—and abruptly Enormous Sky’s shine tones influence you to seem like Trevor Rabin having real issues with his harmonizer—and yes, we feel that is something worth being thankful for. Press and hold the FAV footswitch while connecting power to the pedal. Hold until both LEDs stop blinking. Class A JFET preamp input ensures uncompromised dynamics, exceptional touch sensitivity and superb responsiveness. Strymon’s second-generation blueSky offers true studio-quality reverbs in a compact pedal, and adds significant new features, incorporating technological advancements, hardware improvements and design enhancements to give you additional flexibility, power, and ease of use on stage and in the studio.The new sixth control knobs are a welcome addition for players who like to tweak effects on the fly during live performance. I particularly liked being able to dial in spring reverb at will on the V2 El Capistan, and though the blueSky’s Shimmer knob may not be something I’d personally adjust often, it was great to have that option at my fingertips. There are three modes to this Ensemble effect. As the name implies, when the Ensemble switch is in the off position there is nothing added to your reverb sound, However in the middle position (mp) you are instantly greeted with a subtle addition of harmonics, and when switched to the last position (forte, our favourite) you get the maximum amount of string ambient. It’s a different flavour of the sort of modified ethereal reverb sounds that made Strymon’s name over a decade ago, and with the Jazzmaster in full shimmering clean mode, the Ensemble adds a wonderful sense of textured, string-like movement to our playing, as if you’re being accompanied by a faux orchestra.

New ARM DSP chip provides more processing power for every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption on your pedalboard. Years – blueSky v2, Brig, Cloudburst, Compadre, Deco v2, DIG v2, El Capistan v2, Flint v2, Iridium, Lex v2, NightSky, Riverside, Sunset, Volante, Zelzah True/buffered bypass, for a 100% unprocessed signal or a conditioned signal with preserved high-end integrity. Pure in tone and dedicated in purpose, the Blue Sky was created by Strymon to deliver the sweetest reverbs known to mankind, in a compact pedal that fits on your board. Thanks to talented sound designers, programmers, a powerful SHARC processor and probably a million cups of coffee Strymon have excelled themselves. The Blue Sky offers three lush reverb tones and an impressive amount of control to get the sound exactly right.Without a doubt, the Strymon Blue Sky is considered worth every penny by many guitarists and reviewers in the music industry. Its high-quality sound, wide range of reverb types, and versatility make it a valuable addition to any rig. How does the Strymon Blue Sky compare to other reverb pedals like the Eventide Space?

For blueSky and Ola: Connect a mono TS instrument cable into the LEFT and RIGHT INPUTS along with both LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS for stereo input and output. The internal jumper on these pedals does not need to be adjusted to work in stereo and should be left in its default position (connecting the left 2 pins when viewed from below).Each of the blueSky's three reverbs can be used in any of three modes. Flipping the switch from Normal to Modulation mode adds tonal movement to your reverbs for a colored and filmic sound. Stepping down to Shimmer mode adds endless high-end sustain to your chords and leads with synthy tails that linger on long after you guitar dies off. These two modes will have you approaching material in new ways for breathtaking stage and studio effects. It’s entirely possible to use it with just a basic knowledge of pedals and some knob twisting of course, but that’s kind of like buying a supercar and never stretching its legs by pushing the limit on the highway. Using a high end SHARC processor and 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters offers a studio quality sound that means the Blue Sky is as happy on a mixing console as it is on your pedal board. Sound Design Many users and reviewers consider the Strymon Blue Sky as one of the best reverb pedals they’ve ever heard. Its exceptional sound quality, versatility, and tonal capabilities make it stand out among other options in the market.
