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. 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. Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection FEATURES: Switchable bypass, mono/stereo MIDI, 300 MIDI preset locations, ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET preamp input, Plate, Room Spring Reverb, Modulation,The expression pedal input can also be used to either control any parameter with a treadle-style pedal, or you can plug a momentary tap switch to control pre-delay on all settings, or decay time on the Magneto and Nonlinear settings. For all other Strymon two footswitch Strymon pedals (including Iridium, Zelzah, and V2 pedals with mono/ stereo switch), connect a standard mono TS instrument cable into the INPUT and connect a mono TS instrument cable to the LEFT OUTPUT of the pedal. A dedicated Shimmer knob and new Shimmer behaviours yield an inspiring variety of immersive new sounds. A new Mod switch allows you to select the modulation depth for each reverb type. A beautiful new Spring algorithm creates extraordinary vintage spring reverb sounds, as well as expanded spring textures and hauntingly unique interactions with an octave-down Shimmer.

The Strymon BigSky is a staple on pro-guitarists' pedalboards, and this is because of its hugely deep feature set. It has twelve different reverb sounds, which compared to other pedals may not seem that much, but it’s the depth of parameters that you can shape which makes the BigSky such a popular choice. Having such control over the parameters of the reverb tone means you can dial in the perfect reverb for any style or situation. Press the A, B, or C footswitch on MultiSwitch Plus to save the current state of the pedal to the desired location. It’s also important because it frees up a switch to give you control over the Modulation effect, which you can now use in concert with the shimmer, or on its own – the three-way switch giving you the option of either a light or deep modulation, or none at all.Spring: Faithful recreation of the best vintage spring reverb circuits Strymon could find; instantly adding splashy character and retro mojo to any signal.
