KEY FEATURES Three selectable reverb types. Mod section to modulate the reverb or tone filters. Tone section to sculpt reverb timbre. Shimmer for adding pitch shifting of up to the reverb. Glimmer dynamically enhances high/low frequency harmonics

Although Strymon predominantly cater to guitar players and their requirements for floor-based effects pedals, they have gained plenty of fans elsewhere through their delay and reverb effects alongside the occasional foray into Eurorack territory. Their BigSky and BlueSky reverbs, in particular, have found a lot of favour in both studio and live synthesis circles. NightSky, their latest pedal, takes some aspects of these as a starting point but it is nevertheless very much designed to cut its own furrow in terms of sound and usability.

Like a BigSky, the NightSky comes in a sturdy metal chassis, with foot switches and controls on the top, and audio and other connectivity (MIDI, USB and Expression pedal input) on the rear. The unit is powered by an (included) 9V DC supply adapter.
