Strymon BlueSky Reverberator Pedal (V2)

Description

Lush, Majestic Reverbs. Insane DSP Power.

The philosophy behind the Strymon BlueSky Reverberator is simple—take a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP and dedicate it to doing one thing only: producing the lushest, majestic and stunning reverbs ever. Many hours and sleepless nights in the Strymon sound design labs were devoted to developing the complex reverb algorithms found inside BlueSky. Squeezing out every last drop of processing power available.

Whether you're a classic spring reverb fan or a studio rack aficionado, you'll find your mojo here. BlueSky provides three different reverb types, each with three modes, for a total of nine completely unique reverb experiences. BlueSky even delivers an extremely versatile plate reverb, a rarity for a stompbox pedal. A full pre-delay and damping section provides the deep reverb tone shaping. Add the mod and shimmer modes and you're in store for unending reverb bliss. Couple that with 24-bit 96kHz converters and 115dB typical signal to noise, blueSky is equally at home on top of a studio console as it is in front of a tube amp.

New V2 Features

The V2 features a USB-C connection for updating firmware and MIDI communication, a TRS MIDI jack for bidirectional MIDI communication, full stereo inputs and outputs with a rear-panel Mono/Stereo switch, a premium JFET input circuit for the ultimate in tone and touch response, robust MIDI implementation allowing MIDI clock sync and onboard storage for up to 300 presets, and a powerful new ARM processor that has more power and consumes less energy than previous iterations. The user interface for each pedal has also been updated to provide easier and deeper control of important parameters, allowing users to get to their favourite (and undiscovered) sounds faster and easier than ever before.
