Strymon NightSky Reverb

The ultimate ambient reverb!  

With pioneers and adventurous sonic explorers in mind, Strymon created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before!

Enter a world of new sounds that blow away the boundaries of what is possible with reverb! 

Create vast soundscapes with just a few notes from your instrument. 

Apply mind-bending pitch and harmonic manipulation to your reverb tails, with synth-like filter sweeps!

Three reverb textures.

NightSky’s three reverb textures include Sparse, Dense and Diffuse. 

Sparse mode spaces out the reverb reflections, which makes them more prevalent and distinct.

Dense is a smooth immediate-response reverb that sounds similar to a plate reverb. 

Diffuse is an atmospheric reverb that's ideal for ambient, swell, drone and reversed-sounding textures.

Reverberant Synthesis Machine.

NightSky is a reverberant synthesis workstation, and a powerful, hands-on experimental sound design platform. 

For all its knobs and features, the Strymon NightSky is surprisingly fast to dial in and super fun to experiment with.

NightSky gives you real-time continuous control over the reverb via its Mod, Decay, Tone, Voice and Mix sections.

As if an endless stream of cosmic reverbs weren't enough, the Strymon NightSky also packs a complete 8-step sequencer into its enclosure! 

Here, you can store up to eight steps of intervals and auto-sequence through them via the Sequence Tap and Sequence Step footswitches.

Shimmer, Glimer and Drive.

Strymon NightSky’s Shimmer feature is inspired by the shimmer effects from the 80s. 

A lot of players are familiar with Strymon’s Shimmer effect from its BigSky and BlueSky reverbs.

NightSky goes a step further by adding set shimmers to 2nd, 4th, and 5th intervals, which can go up or down. 

Glimmer will accentuate the upper or lower frequency harmonics with High and Low modes.

Drive adds harmonic saturation at either the input or output stage of the NightSky.

An invaluable tool for live performance.

The Morph footswitch lets you transition between two different presets (or individual settings): an invaluable tool for live performance.

The pedal’s Infinite footswitch will freeze the tail of the input signal, creating a vast, dreamy reverb that you can layer new parts over. 

You can also re-pitch the frozen tail by intervals using the sequencer.

And, NightSky gives you instant front panel access to 16 presets, enough to cover an entire gig!

(Of course, if 16 is not enough, 300 preset locations are available via MIDI)
