Strymon blueSky Reverberator - Plate Shimmer Demo

[signalstovega]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Can't wait until mine arrives.

[baikalio]

Beautiful!!! Definitely one of my next purchases!

[benbrown4544]

I just bought one of these!

If I'm playing live, how do I run it in stereo?

[Schpudd]

@benbrown4544 A/B/Y box into two amps right?

[Huntman1394]

This pedal would most definetly give a Pink Floyd sound.

[jgk381]

Is that pad-ish sound after the chords all from the reverb pedal, or are you playing some keyboard with it?

If that lushness is all just the reverberating from the guitar, thats one amazing sounding pedal!

[ninja0724]

Wow! Nice...

[chickenshyt490]

I want this pedal.

[ThisIsDonnieMusic]

Is this what heaven sound like?

[JohnRegular180]

I want to try this with a POG.

[barti183]

sound like a all the small Things - Blink-182 :D

[MarcosArg87]

Beatiful sound!



[mattallurgist]

I get to choose this month between owning this pedal and eating. Coincidentally, if anyone has any canned food they're not gonna eat...

[alexstrat]

This is the first I cry for a pedal! Thank you Mr Strymon :')

[mrjones8893]

I think I may have made a mess in my pants ......I MUST OWN ONE !!!!

[toohipgottago]

I have a question regarding the "trails" mode on this pedal. When activated, is it still true-bypass or will it suck tone from my current setup?

[BlakeeLee]

Just got mine. Absolutely incredible! The buffered bypass mode is really helpful.

[sweetjayt77]

The song "Fell Inside" by Jack Wilson sound remarkable similar as well. I bet this pedal would sound amazing on that pedal steel!

[TheJCguitar]

that was orgy in my ears

[NathWorkman2717]

good god this is beautiful.

[jighead81]

what the eff, who is the 1 dislike? This is awesome! Nice demo man I'm sold

[haroldlihk]

This is a shoegazer's and ambient guy's dream pedal! WOOT!

[JoshFazzz]

Holy crap I want one

[ReallyAwesomeGinger]

Megan Tonjes is the greatest person ever.

[thecolours1234]

would love to have this pedal!

[rccbatv]

OMG !!! Heaven camo to the Earth with this pedal+chord progression!!! 

[filippolex]

this progression reminds me of The Mission by Ennio Morricone

[slava1000000]

dear santa .

[tvtalent]

The most beautiful sounding pedal I've ever heard

[Musicman6699]

I need a strymon PHASER!

[QuamCelerrime]

Holy fuck, is this all coming from the pedal? You've killed the Verbzilla for me.

[tkirpaul]

Strymon makes the best pedals.

[Aceofspades737]

MyGuitarLove sent me here

[BIRDINTHEHOUZE]

this or the verbzilla?

[Lucario1211]

Strymon. I don't have enough money for this. Please stop making such beautiful pedals.

[stratforme]

@dus65 Michael Chislett actually has one of these on his board.

[musserms]

This pedal makes me want to cry its so awesome. Mine arrives tomorrow. I've got some cool gear, but I've never wanted any other pedal so badly. Strymon, you are amazing. Keep up the great work.

[BoostDidier]

Damn, I really want this pedal! To bad they don't turn up second hand that often...

[Sima3397]

Which Chords do you play there ? :)  they are so awesome together with the Bluesky love it *__*

[javiceres]

Sounds a lot like Pitchfactor's Crystals algorithm, I have one and this demo has surprised me in that.

[izAkly]

listening to this pedal gives me butterflies... it's like sparkling diamonds... except it's audible. I think I'm gonna try to get one soon.

GREAT WORK!

[mikefalzone]

mikefalzone sent me here

[eyepronproductions]

MikeFalzone sent me here (=

[Schpudd]

@eyepronproductions who?

[PicturaSonus]

OH GOD

[darkbluebossa]

great sound, btw

[darkbluebossa]

"I guess I shoulda known

By the way you parked your car sideways

That it wouldn't last "

[RHCPFitz]

The chords are also pretty much the same as Little Red Corvette... a far cry from hillsong I must say

[loofonme]

You couldn't stop to tune your guitar before doing this demo?

[FenderrMann]

@loofonme its perfectly in tune. its when he messes with the modulation, that it goes out of tune and the reverb kindof holds it that way.

[PicturaSonus]

Are you kidding me? And I bought a Cathedral?! D:

[dus65]

I know its a long shot, and its just chord progressions and all, but was this inspired by Higher by Hillsong?

[strymon]

@dus65 It wasn't but we'll have to check out that song now!

[bluenalu7]

@strymon Yes ! SOuds like it, Devotion - Hillsong <3333

[Boberman43]

@strymon Almost sounds like Perth. Lovely chord progression. I must have this pedal now

[Bellyoflion]

@Boberman43 I thought the exact same thing, super Bon Ivery!



[EMOneLifeBand]

@dus65 the chords are pretty much the same as In Your Freedom by Hillsong as well.

[dus65]

@EMOneLifeBand ahh very true

[PatrickJBeals]

@dus65 My thoughts exactly lol. Same exact chords..... haha and same strum patterns

[dus65]

@PatrickJBeals I'm curious as to what it sounds like if you gave it the full Nigel treatment, with the U2-ish stereo delay and the picking pattern

[FenderrMann]

what does the favorite button do?

[strymon]

@FenderrMann Favorite switch allows you to save a favorite preset, essentially giving you two pedals in one. :)

[FenderrMann]

@strymon Its funny, I was just thinking this pedal needed 2 so It could switch between reverb and shimmer! Thats Awesome!

[PicturaSonus]

@strymon If I were to get your external favorite switch as well, would that give me 2 presets? :)

[JayDeeSG]

Is that synth sound coming from this pedal too?

[FenderrMann]

@JayDeeSG yeah man.

[deathcore1239]

side note, who knows what chords hes playing? i never learned chords but these 3 (or 4 in the later verses) are just beautiful

[deathcore1239]

wow. just, wow.

[ZodgeShawn]

This is simply wonderfull!!! Amazing pedal!

[chuckmastazero]

OK...so color me stupid (being that I've been playing guitar for more than half of my short 25 years on earth) I do consider myself to know a fair bit about music gear, but I was wondering...What are the advantages of utilizing the stereo output, and how would I do that? I'm so used to everything being mono that I don't know exactly how this all works. (I play through a vintage Marshall, so don't really have the stereo option there) THANKS!

[lanswipe]

That sounds amazing, what chords are you using?

[MrZacharyFisher]

what guitar was used for this? what amp?

[strymon]

@MrZacharyFisher Hey there! Setup is Damage Control Demonizer tube preamp » blueSky Reverberator » stereo into Pro Tools. Guitar is a Fender Toronado.

[0Genus0]

That was the greatest thing..just...ever.

[mrandmississipi]

watch us , on strymon

[CerfsMusic]

Hey I'm really considering buying this pedal it sounds fantastic, however i was wondering whether any other instruments or effects were used or were synths recorded over the top or before because i really would like to be able to reproduce the exact sound shown in the demo and if its not just the pedal then i need to get other things too. Thanks.

[musserms]

This could possibly be the most amazing pedal ever made.

[thefadedage]

Could you use one of inputs/outputs before your amp then the other in the effects loop?

[twiggy120]

I would love to hear your pedals being tested through synths also. x

[strymon]

@twiggy120 We have a demo of El Capistan with a Moog Little Phatty and a Roland Juno-6... we love synths and will definitely do some other synth demos in the future if we can. Thanks!

[idiots474]

Best sounding reverb on my bass, by a country mile!

[awalnovember]

wow..!!!!!

[flyingpookie]

Hi you strymon's dream sellers, i'd like to know if your pedals and especially this one work as fine on bass as on guitar. I'd buy one of these if your answer was 'yes' ! Thanks.

[fireitup2010]

thats worth every penny in the entire universe!!!!

[yggdrasil0117]

I just listened to this about 5 times. Thank you for this beautiful experience; tears of joy.

[katyreget]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH. this is spectacular

[GlenMuse795]

I NEED this pedal. Great demo, great company. :)

[cvj2311]

sounds amazing.

[Ningirsutyr]

This is the first time that I've watched a reverb pedal demo and instead of saying "Wow, cool technology..." I was excited about how wonderful tunes one can create by having this pedal on his board! Best reverb pedal I've seen so far!

[Lol927837]

H O L Y F A K K

[broadcast666this]

i bought one! should be here soon, cant wait!

[jsterist]

I want this so badly. Probably more than I've ever wanted any piece of music equipment.

[marshjmp50]

Just....Beautiful

[ThatBrentGuy13]

I am on a mission to own this pedal... Time to start selling gear...

[Pudder69]

My blueSky just arrived today and I couldn't be happier, thanks for making such phenomenal pedals!

[HSong4ever]

what chords are you using?

[joshbaezmusic]

i just nerded everywhere.

[russellstall]

my goodness, so tasty.

[John4TehLuLz]

can I ask what the chords are your using on that? Im trying one this week, possibly buying and want to just strum these out, when im there. cheers

[xxPunKxxForeveRxx]

can you tell us the chord progrssion :c?

[emulsiion]

I have to say that this is the coolest pedal I have out of all of them. strymon makes great quality products and has shown that their customer service is also really cool. i just got my pedal yesterday, and I can wait to get off work tonight to play guitar with it. thanks!

[benbrown4544]

why are there two inputs and two outputs?

Thanks

[strymon]

@benbrown4544 This is so you can use it in a stereo rig, or in a studio setting. :)

[freeblade99]

Hi Strymon,

does the TimeLine has the same shimmer effect as the blueSky ?

I'm interested in the Shimmer of the blueSky and the El Capistan tape delay, but seems like the TimeLine has it all ! Cheers and thanks for making such game-changing pedals !

[strymon]

@freeblade99 No, TimeLine does not have the blueSky shimmer effect. Thanks! :)

[JulieJackson1]

Going to buy mine today woo woo woo :- ))

[emulsiion]

i can't wait to buy this.

[floydian961]

chord prog?

[fragboy]

Holy shit that made me lose my breath, need to buy one RIGHT NOW

[edmatper]

That's not only a pedal, it's a tool to create music itself. I'm impressed !

[archidroid]

AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING- I ORDERED MINE TODAY!!!

[jashobbsie]

just bought one from the UK...i was wondering how you recorded these demos...where are the stereo outputs going?

cheers!

[strymon]

@jashobbsie Hey there... signal path is Damage Control Demonizer -> blueSky Reverberator -> Mac audio interface. Thanks! :)

[LeFormigable]

Congratulations for the amazing job you guys did on this product!

Let's begin with the questions:

1. Do you guys ship to Brazil? I NEED one, and I'm ready to pay for it.

2. A little bit off-topic, but what's the chord progression used ? It is from a real song, or just a little improvisation to demonstrate?

Best Regards,

Igor Formiga

U2 2U Tribute Band, New Beatles and Grooviola Inc.

[strymon]

@LeFormigable hi there, yes we can ship to Brazil. Can't remember the exact chord progression! :)

[LeFormigable]

@strymon Nice to know! What's the price in US$, and how long it takes before you ship it?

[rossbeaton]

@LeFormigable

It's just VI V vi and I in G with the D being constantly played, I'm pretty sure - so you might need a capo :)

[DriveThruThursday]

I MUST KNOW>>> You're tone is amazing. What is the set up other than the pedal????

[strymon]

@DriveThruThursday Signal path is Damage Control Demonizer -> blueSky Reverberator -> Mac audio interface. Thanks! :)

[chrisspicermusic]

This sounds incredible! What would it sound like using an acoustic guitar?

[strymon]

@chrisspicermusic - it sounds great with an acoustic!

[chrisspicermusic]

@strymon Sweet! Any chance you could put up a short demo? Cheers

[beabbong]

Haven't seen any pedal like this.....Killer stuff!

[TorsteinVala]

Can I use a T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon as the power supply?

Thanks:)

[strymon]

@TorsteinVala - we've never tried one, but it does look like the specs will support it. You just need to make sure to use 9V with a minimum of 250mA. Just be sure not to go higher than 9V. Thanks!

[TorsteinVala]

@strymon you just sold a Blue Sky to me :D

[handsomerube]

epic sound...i'm sold!

[RobHowth]

Get me one of these now

[nadibs]

which guitar used in this video?

[strymon]

@nadibs hey there... i was using a Fender Toronado.

[guitarphil11]

i cant find this anywhere to buy

[strymon]

@guitarphil11 - We're building more, should be available on our online store in a couple weeks.

[dundundun363]

stupid question but.. what camera was used to record the video?

[strymon]

@dundundun363 It's a Canon 5D MkII.

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@dundundun363 why is that a stupid question

[LaPerfectDrug]

Oh nevermind, it's G, A, Bm, D

[LaPerfectDrug]

What chords are those? Sounds lovely!

[chapintex1]

I'm selling my Boss RV-5, T-Rex Tonebug Reverb, and I just sold my Verbzilla today... all that will finance this baby-god-child (:

[oldbluesboy]

Fab. Thought I was stoned!!

[TheAlteredTuning]

I just don't understand how EVERY pedal this company makes sounds so good...and i love how they actually take time to answer questions and stuff on here. Don't find that much.. Don't stop doing what you're doing strymon.

[TR1VO5]

Question: can i use tha strymon pedals with 9 volt dc and just 100mA or 200mA? read that they need 250mA to be quiet. -> please recomment

[strymon]

@TR1VO5 hey there, you'll need 9V providing at least 250mA.

[diCeanddiMe757]

:O:O:O:O:O

[BassIsAwesome16]

My friend has one of these and I melt everytime he uses it :D

[TD2243]

Can this be powered by a Boss-tu2 tuner?

[strymon]

@TD2243 Sorry no... you'll need 9V providing at least 250mA.

[bgardner123]

Thank you so much for this video man! I am curious though; I am in search of a phenomenal reverb pedal. I am a Boss man but I feel like i should explore more. I just found this pedal today and i'm in awe of the beauty of the sound. But I am a rock/blues/punk/indie style player.. I was wondering if the BlueSky was too ambient, or if I could use it to whip out and play some solos from Journey or for some rhythm for blues or etc.. Is this pedal good for all styles? If not, what do u recommend? Thx!

[koryhale]

i want one so bad! the sound is perfectly amazing!

[Kamis5050]

I would die for one of those :( Shame I can't afford it

[Dunnization]

@TheM3ta1Mi1itia

Hahahaha, that's why it's called Bluesky.

[TR1VO5]

does anybody know a smaler pedal wich sounds as great as that one?

[CanadianDutchman]

hey guys!

when is it coming out to buy?

[kevdog330]

I must resist the urge to spend money until this is available again....must.....resist.....

[bloc22]

wow this fucking amazing!! wish i had money -_-

[imermiguel]

finally a reverb pedal worth buying...

[noordinarylove9]

I don't think I've been emotionally moved by guitar effects demo before...

You, sir, have sold me a pedal.

[guisantenuclear]

...f...!! Almost makes me cry!!!

[rockfreak611]

sounds exactly like the synthy rhythm guitar reverb sounds going on during the Stairway solo

[Dunnization]

I just got one and am having trouble hooking it up, someone help?

[strymon]

@Dunnization What do you need help with? You can always contact our support email on our website. Thanks!

[Dunnization]

@strymon

Oh, I got it now I was just wondering about when you uploaded your video for the Shimmer effect. When I use it on mine it seems to loud, like it drowns out the guitar and the Shimmer is too loud. In your video your's is just right and sounds good. Also what was the chord progression in that video?

[Razwithz]

@Dunnization turn CCW the mix knob ;)

[Dunnization]

@Razwithz

I did that after I figured the pedal out some but it's still too loud, do you have one?

[Razwithz]

@Dunnization nope i don't :(

i just realized that it doesn't have a level/volume knob!! :O

mmmm, may be if you turn CCW both the low damp and high damp knobs, for what i saw in the video it works kinda like EQ knobs making it brighter or darker.

[Grandmotorsports]

I asked the same question... this is the kind of sound that just makes the credit card fly out of my wallet!!!

[bobob13131]

If STRYMON creates a favorite pedal that can handle more "faves" and multiple Strymon pedals at the same time, AXE FX and Line 6 are DONE.

BTW, Pete is a great guy and was hugely helpful to me when getting my Damage Control gear. Can't wait to get this pedal also. Best wishes!

[Dunnization]

What chord progression did you use?

[steveey251]

Are you using any other effects? or just the reverb? If not then WOW!

[strymon]

@steveey251 Hey there! It's just the blueSky reverb on plate shimmer mode. Thanks!

[Vlodimer]

totally fake ^_^ this is got to be CGI for sound or smthn ^_^ fuk, I WANT IT!

[Pssthdrnkmelnchly]

Would this sound too artificial with an acoustic guitar? I'm getting a setup to do looping between my taylor and a lap steel (Using and AB input selector going to one amp), and I'm trying to find a great reverb for the taylor.

[mikkelotto]

Wow sounds great!

[emeraldandsapphire]

P.S., Can we PRE-ORDER one of these on your website (i.e., "stand-in-line", "first-come-first-serve")?

[strymon]

@emeraldandsapphire Hey there! We don't take pre-orders (we don't like to take your hard-earned cash until we have a pedal to ship)... watch out for the newsletter and we'll let you know when they're available. Thanks!! :)
