Never before have I watched a review video that has music playing the background constantly, almost drowning out the voice, but definitely drowning out any example sound effects being attempted.
I've had the night sky for a week. I am using it with a Nord Drum 3P. I can honestly say that the sounds demonstrated here are basically nothing compared to what you can do with it. The filters and envelopes etc.. create really interesting effects like a short pitch bend down or up, and more with the envelope wave forms. It's sick. I used to have a TC M3000 and it had control over room spaces like the Big Sky--- but was very clinical, like using for post production film work to create spaces to match overdubbing voices shot on location. The night sky does not do this at all, like room sounds. That being said, there really is no competition in these pedals. If you want Beauty and something down to earth, Big Sky. If you want weird and going into insane territory, Nightsky. One final note, it seems to me that the presets on the Nightsky will most likely not give you the instant gratification like the Bigsky. You really have to tweak them. And to me it's worth it. It's really not a plug and go pedal at all.
I appreciate your input. I was considering replacing my old tc hof2 with something newer like the big sky but after a while realized my pedal is fine for my purposes. Which is just adding a little reverb to an overdriven amp. But these look really nice for people who can put all their power to use.
@@ericandrews1661 You are welcome. I'm mainly a drummer who loves big reverb in my headphones. I just got a guitar, and for me, I set the depth low, and the rate low on the nightsky modulated stuff. I just add a touch of shimmer, and a hint of glimmer. I don't like it when you can obviously hear the modulation. The Sparse verb will give a small room/spring sound or a slap back echo effect on short settings. The only other verb I would get is a Pladask. I like the sound of destroyed buildings. And then being destroyed in the middle of the verb. I ordered a Romferd, next a Baklengs then the verb. I like pedals that are different and the Pladask line is all connected, from beauty to insanity in a heartbeat🤪
Went through both quickly but efective in covering all aspects, Great video man! I prefer the bigsky for guitar stuff where as you said the nightsky is almost better for keys players but both work flawlessly !
I decided I'd buy neither lol. Actually I'd come to that decision a few days ago after looking into replacing my old hof2 with something newer or nicer. Lots of great choices out there. That's why this video showed up on my feed. I really wanted to go with a big sky and I'm sure it sounds beautiful but I listened to my sound and thought about my needs and realized what I have works and sounds perfectly for me. I only need a little plate or hall reverb in the effects loop of an overdriven amp. It was fun flirting with the idea and learning about all that's out there. This video explained a lot for me too. It must be nice to be someone who could actually use all these features and power. I hope you're enjoying them.
It can be worthwhile to know one's limitations. I watch with fascination the technology that enables deeper and deeper layers of the imagination to flourish, recalling the 70s and since when I would imagine how I could enhance my guitar and synths (once I could afford them) and imagined a device that would exponentiate sounds. Now that I have a few, newer pedals prompt and challenge me to compare what I can already do with what these astonishing devices enable. I slow down... and smile 🌛
On a sidenote I did get rid of a few pedals because it’s definitely better to have less choices for my situation like I just sold a sunlight a dark star and a slo. Too much.
Sorry about that, I really wanted the audience to be able to hear what exactly was happening with adjustments on the pedal, without my voice overpowering it - I can definitely see how my voice was a little too loud though. Will do a re-upload in the future. Thanks for your feedback!
@Torrie Seager Jeez guys, I didn't complain about his video, it's just difficult to hear some of what he's saying when the sounds are playing over his voice. Give it a rest.
I can hear him perfectly fine. Re upload the video without the music that is being used to demonstrate the reverb, lmfao….. how is that supposed to work😂
@@LoVeAmBiEnT I don’t think it’s about these units being bad, it’s more about the over saturation of their use. Every worship and ambient guitarist seem to have pretty much the same Pedalboard these days and it all is sort of becoming boring tbh. Reminds me of the eventual sameness that all the rack setups arrived at in the 80’s where everyone had the same tri chorus, etc.
What the heck? You didn’t even demo them? There’s this annoying music going on in the background, what’s the point? If I wanted to know info from the manuals I wouldn’t come to youtube..

I found the background sound not very helpful in demonstrating this pedal. Good explanation otherwise.
Cuzzits it’s too loud dawggie amazing realiza tion

Really great review and comparison. thanks!

That’s great feedback!
I'm about to spend the rest of my days playing with my Nightsky
@@barryallen8088 Since my post, I had to switch to guitar, as my wrist got pulverized. And the Nightsky is just incredible.
Appreciate the review mate. I like em both still but I have some clarity now when I decide which will be the one.
very very rich review. Thank you so much, bruv!

I was in the market for a decent reverb to extend my measly entry-level Mininova and went with the Night Sky. I'm glad I did.
They put a lot of work into that. I’m impressed
Very helpful!
Thank you for the Video, this is 2 tutorials in 1.
thanks for this valuable information, finally i think i will go for the Night Sky for my moog subsequent
I am looking into getting this combo as well. A year later, how are you liking it?
I decided I'm going to buy both of them

@@ericandrews1661 oh I am. Very much.

@@LoVeAmBiEnT yeah. I see no sense in holding on to equipment you don't use. Musical equipment is made to be used.
imo i can hear him just find over the whole video but for those of you saying you can't hear anything there are captions
Is the Big Sky easier to use/navigate than the Night Sky?
Listening to this on your car's stereo is very good.🤔
Does the Nightsky have CORALE effect ?
Imagine nightsky 🌃 on VOCALS! 🤤
Dude, the music volume was interfering with hearing what you said in several parts...
Music level is fine, solid video and breakdown on both units
For synth i choose nightsky, for guitar bigskye or his little brother bluesky
Nice clip but drop the background music please.
Music track is so loud you can't hear what you are saying.

I can hear you perfectly fine lol no need to apologize your video is perfect one person out of a thousand that can't hear you for some odd reason

@Torrie Seager Its loud to me too, and would be easier to hear if the BG music was lower.
Please turn the music down just a little touch it’s competing too much with the vouce
What is that music? Is is a part of some full track? What is the genre?
Just a beat I made on my groovebox! Not sure what genre this would be though
Great video. Background music is too loud. Thanks!
can hardly hear the effect or the narration
Turn the music off!!
The background music is far too loud, making your voice almost inaudible. Reupload w/o the background music!
the point of the background music is to demonstrate the two reverbs.
@@GregWilky1 fail
I heard him just fine
I can hear him perfectly fine. Re upload the video without the music that is being used to demonstrate the reverb, lmfao….. how is that supposed to work😂
WTF ??? Can't follow what you're saying with the background music so loud... THUMBS DOWN !!! ☹️
Had them both and sold them both... Just wasn't for me anymore.
You are a reasonable man. No shame in that. For me, at least I can write off the Night Sky after watching this.
Wow you're a tough sell my man so what works for you these days?

@@LoVeAmBiEnT the UAFX Golden Reverberator
@@softlightsymphonyband I agree.
Did not like the music for demo especially for guitar..
What is that accent?.. Australian and ..something else?
Sounds like Boston Australian mix..lol. ;)
New Zealand
Very annoying music in background
turn the damn music down! Unwatchable
What the heck? You didn’t even demo them? There’s this annoying music going on in the background, what’s the point? If I wanted to know info from the manuals I wouldn’t come to youtube..
Night sky is awefull pedal
