I'm making a demo of the Strymon Blue Sky reverb pedal. I tried to use every mode and combinations (Normal, Mod, Shimmer & Plate, Room, Spring) to demonstrate what this pedal is capable of for ambient sounds.
The damp knobs are really cool to EQ your shimmer to your desired tone and it's really nice that the Mix knob can can 100% wet for drone sounds!
Tell me in the comment section if you'd like a comparison video of the Strymon Blue Sky compared to the Big Sky!

I love this pedal. It does that reverb sound so good. I have one. But before I purchased a blue sky, I picked up a boss rv6. I still have the rv6. (1st stage reverb now) for those who can’t afford the Blue Sky you can’t go wrong with the rv6.

@marciolimongi 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your videos! I have been searching for a reverb pedal for a long time, and it came down to either the Blue Ski or the Immerse MKII. I love that your demos on those two pedals follow exactly the same format, so it was easier to compare them. I went with the Blue Ski, more pleasing to my ears. Thanks again!

@matrixstar2767 Год назад

Thank You Antoine for doing the best demos and for your ambient guitar training videos!! It is mid 2023 and I spent many hours looking at reverbs pedals and I went with a BlueSky V1 at a good price for my 1st high end reverb pedal (already have various cheep pedals from amazon on my pedalboard). My Reasons: Even though the Neunaber Immerse mk2 does the sparkling echo tails better (more advanced clean algorithms), I fell like the BlueSky has more horns like a freight train, like the decay fills out better and is very responsive for large ambient sounds. Hope that makes sense. Cheers!

@joshfeatherstone8546 3 года назад

A lot of this sounds like Cocteau Twins and Verve's Storm in Heaven album. The opening chord sounds like the break in Stone Temple Pilots Creep. Beautiful sounds and great demo.

@ckallaher 2 года назад

Beautiful sounds! I can’t read the labels on the little toggle switches at the top but I can get that off the website. I know one of them is “shimmer” which = I don’t know where the last hour went listening to myself play these handful of chords over and over. One question: what’s the second button (favorite) for and how does it work?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 2 года назад

The favorite switch recalls different knob positions. So you could engage the pedal for its current knobs positions, and click the favorite switch to play a totally different sound that you pre-saved, without having to twist the knobs.

@Cerusicus26 3 года назад

I wonder if it's not too late to buy this pedal - It was released 10 years ago (an updated one might be in the pipeline) and it's quite expensive. The problem is that it's the only one I know of that does a good dripping spring reverb and ambient reverbs too. What do you think?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 3 года назад

To me, it's still as good today. What's important is that it produces the sounds YOU like! These pedals are solid and built to last. It's much simpler to use than all the big stompboxes too. And the resell value is higher than ever before for Strymon pedals. It's not rare that I find BlueSky pedals very close to full price on the used market (at least here, locally in Montreal, Canada) and it's been like this since many years!
