Genius move not making it a replacement to the Big Sky but a cool sibling that does drugs and got into synths. Wish it was a 28hp module but it's still a thing of beauty.
I own a NightSky, and the one BIG thing you have to be aware of, you will need an external midi controller, it can hold 300 patches in 3 banks, BUT they have no librarian to keep track of this so you better think about it, also you can not access the next 8 patches from Strymond unless you can send controller, and PC messages, now you can create cool patches fast, but where do you store them? and how do you retrieve them? I reached out to Strymond and their words are you must buy an external control and figure out a patch librarian on your own, now that being said, I own a Morningstar MC8 and have begun to make and store my own patches, but at this price point you will have to invest in another controller to take advantage of this pedal...this is never mentioned in any review that I have seen yet, and its a BIG deal at this price point...Helix, Eventide H9 all have advanced editor/ librarian software to support their pedals, this does not...
No only do your products keep getting better, but the videos used to introduce/demonstrate them also get better. I'm able to learn how to use the TimeLine and BigSky a bit better as a result of watching this. Thanks Strymon.
boy am I glad I've watched way too many 'verb pedal demos the past months and, somehow, held off on buying anything until this big unveil today!!!!!!! NightSky is next generation stuff, like discovering a new family of planet or comet types, wow
This is the best explanation of this pedal, showing that it can be used regularly with a guitar rig for gigging, to having it for studio exploratory sounds and ideas. I am a big Strymon fan and i would like to add this to my Strymon collection. Personally I would like to pair it with the Volante and explore. Great stuff! 👍😊
Thank you so much for the detailed presentation Pete. Superlatively informative and an excellent sampling of possibilities. I expect that this will cost me more money to accompany all my other Strymon tools.
It is such a relief when strymon releases a new product and I dont feel an instant compulsion to purchase it. My bank account thanks you for not releasing a combination reverb/delay. Amazing sounds from this unit though.
I wish they WOULD release a combination reverb/delay so the two can work together! After listening further though, it seems like this pedal gets into the delay territory.
@@josephwright5921 When The Sun Explodes does that a bit. I just picked up a Walrus D1 and Slö and fuck it, I'm gonna tape them together and call them one pedal.
This guy talked me into the Volante. Best delay pedal I've ever played with. This Nightsky sounds incredible. Pete Celi, Sir, you are killing it. Wicked filtering algorithms, they are so well implemented in this and the Volante. I'm using a Silverlake reverb pedal now, but this thing... wow.
Loving what this pedal does. Nice work Strymon crew on taking things in new directions but still keeping all the deep space goodness, diffusion and Q comp goodies. If folks still think they need the "next and newest effect pedal" to complete their music and production process after this week's drops they need to get back to their 9-5, lol
Generally I’m more of a classic reverb type player. But this is insane! And the subtle reverb tones shown on the dense setting are so good. I’m going to start looking around the house for stuff to sell...
EPIC PEDAL!!!! The Nightsky is another classic amongst many that Strymon has created. I'm putting in my pre-order now. First, I've got to find my mom's credit card.
Pete Celi is incredibly talented and I will be buying one of these for sure. Strymon products are so clear and quiet. Such a high quality sound. I have quite a few now and the only one I didn't like was the Sunset drive pedal.
I can see a modulation and delay pedal in this same format. This level of control is absolutely amazing. Maybe even a sequenced drive pedal! Dare I say a full fledged Strymon guitar synth? Can’t wait to see what you guys dream up next!
thankyou strymon... i have five of your effects. the OB1, DIG, SUNSET, BLUE SKY, AND VOLANTE. You guys keep blowing me away with every new release. Thanks again, I have been building my dream set up and you guys have the most real estate on my pedaltrain terra 42. I also use these pedals for different synths. I have loved lockdown to be honest and feel like the happiest man in the world. I bought up 3 other reverbs by different brands so to test as a process of elimination, but now i have seen this, well, i think you know what might happen now.... cheers team STRYMON.
For 2 years I been considering an Eventide Space or a Strymon Big Sky.... can't decide on either.... and now THIS! I don't need it, but I sure do want it.
Seriously, the Strymon Big Sky is superior to eventide. At least in my opinion. If I was forced to sell all other pedals except 1, I would keep my Big Sky. Fantastic. Now broke but will buy the new one when I have the cash.
I love your product demos. I feel like I learn something from them every time. My wallet loves them less though, every time I look at one of these I go from "Nah, I don't need one" to "Well...actually that might be kind of nice to play with!" I also really appreciate that you are doing something different with pedals. There's many "pick an algorithm, no you can't tweak algo A the same as B" type units on the market so having these sort of "workstations" like the Nightsky and Volante where you can really get into crafting your own things with all the features so easy to use makes all the difference.
My thoughts go out to Eventide at what must be a difficult time for them right now.... Blackhole anyone?......Anyone??!! Well played Strymon, well played.
Derek Ferrell There’s nothing wrong with the Blackhole algorithm and I agree the H9 & Space are still very relevant but Strymon release a unique & boundary pushing pedal in the same week that Eventide release a standalone pedal version of the same old Blackhole algorithm that first surfaced in 1994 and is already available in the H9, Space pedal & as a plug-in? If I were Eventide, I’d be feeling pretty embarrassed. Granted, they’re slightly different animals but if you’re in the market for an ambient reverb pedal, I just can’t see why anyone would get the new Blackhole pedal when there are lots of other more appealing options out there?, one of which being the new Nightsky.
@@peterperson1 Some like the old classics, and some like to venture out. Me, I am seduced by new packaging of venerable hits, but I'd rather spend on pushing into new territory. All in all, something for everybody.
omg.. I have been going to Avalance Run from Earthquaker Devices for my reverb fun. Seems there is a new kid on the block with even more tricks up her sleeve.
The Size/Pitch knob, I have a question about that. How do you know which function it will adjust ? Is it always Size until you hit the Infinite switch and then it adjusts Pitch? Thanks!
This pedal is awesome, but what I'd really love is a Strymon reverb+delay pedal, the same size as a Timeline (TimeSky? BlueLine?) Keep up the great work!
Is this in any way influenced by Mutable Instruments’ Clouds? Because a few concepts here seem borrowed by that! Sounds great, love the almost modular approach
I'd be interested to know what it sounds like with a synth. Perhaps give Peter Dyer a go. There's a large synth community out there who would love to know how it would interact with a synth. A guitar demo won't show that, you might as well demo it with bagpipes (you'd get some atmospheric stuff though).
@@BubbaSatori yup, i use Magneto El Cap and BigSky in my compositional work for games and would love to see more synth focused stuff for sure. Magneto is an absolute baller unit.
feeding ear nice group of pedals there ... my analog pedals are so-so with synths so I’m looking for other ideas ... I love my Erica Black Hole DSP 2 tho👍🏼
Please please please update this so that the filter rate/oscillation can be synced via midi or to anything. This feature would make the pedal so much more usable. I'll do a full length demo on it for free if you can update the sync options! Please and thank you :)
This thing sounds amazing Curious why in the signal path the amp/cab (Iridium) is before the NightSky? It still sounds amazing, just seems like a an odd choice.
Thanks and good question! You certainly can use NightSky in front of Iridium or in front of an amp. The "Floating" pedal steel piece in our Audio Examples video was recorded with Iridium after NightSky. However, a main reason you might choose to put Nightsky last in chain, especially when recording direct or outputting to a full range PA is that NightSky is a full range pedal that can actually create upper and lower harmonies and saturation harmonics of its own, some of which could potentially be tamed or filtered out depending on what speaker cabinet IR you are playing through if you put Iridium last, since most guitar cabinets are not full range. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but for this video, we wanted the full character of NightSky to come through with no sonic coloration after it.
@@strymon thanks for the reply! That is super cool! Been watching the demos all morning. I love the idea of using this pedal as an outboard effect for use in my DAW. I love that you can switch from instrument to line level so easily. When do these start shipping? :)
If not, that would be a KILLER feature if it's even possible to add it with a software update 🙄 Imagine creating a complex chord progression and use it as a pad underneath your playing. 🤯
Me: “Okay, my board is good. No more pedal swapping.”
Strymon Walter White: “We’re done when I say we’re done.”
Say my name
I am the one who swaps!
Heisenverb
😂
you i cackled hard at this lmaoooo thanks man

It is the most psychedelic pedal ever haha

😂👌🏻

I was thinking Demetri Martin
hahahahaha! So true! Thanks for that, just burst out laughing :)
he sounds like Ricky Jay to me
Strymon have out-strymoned themselves with this - EPIC. Always love Pete's deep dives too.
Looking forward to your review Leon!!!
Let's see who gets it first. You or that pedal show.
There’s always room for more.....
Out-strymoning themselves, now that is something :)
The kind of peal you could base a whole album around. Im all in! and broke.

An individual could make a whole movie track by their self with this pedal. The possibilities are unlimited. Congratulations Strymon.
This is nuts guys. Congrats on somehow outdoing yourselves once again.
A perfect introduction. Clear, concise, and demonstrating some great sounds. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!
I don't know what's more beautiful, how it looks or how it sounds. Good job, as always!
No only do your products keep getting better, but the videos used to introduce/demonstrate them also get better. I'm able to learn how to use the TimeLine and BigSky a bit better as a result of watching this. Thanks Strymon.
This is extended synthesis for your synthesizer! Love, LOVE the layout, control and sound! The other half of the synthesizer.
Incredible!! Wow. Must confess I clicked like before I watched the video lol. Now 'like' seems like a massive understatement. Well done Strymon!!!
boy am I glad I've watched way too many 'verb pedal demos the past months and, somehow, held off on buying anything until this big unveil today!!!!!!! NightSky is next generation stuff, like discovering a new family of planet or comet types, wow
Really great sounds. I'm loving these new pedals (already got the Volante :-)). And really enjoying the new UI designs.
This looks amazing. Definitely very tempted!
Love this down to earth explanation of the pedal, and its functions.
The Dry/Reverb Mix on the pedal is ingenious.

We should all take a moment to acknowledge how lucky we are to inhabit this cosmos at the same time as Pete Celi.
This will make Pete blush :)
@@strymon I had a dream last night that I bought a NightSky. This morning my stimulus check arrived. Coincidence? I think not.
What a terrific demo, thank you.
I should receive mine today👏🏼so I’ll be watching and taking notes!
I'm guessing this is a result of Pete getting into synthesis. Looks freaking awesome.
Ok... now I want one...!!
Always exciting news from Strymon !

Nice pedal! Very creative stuff from Strymon here!
Just ordered one for my Eurorack modular setup. Can’t wait!

When it's Christmas this year? In two weeks?
Brilliant…These guys are making History
A whole new level!
This pedal could have been named "Dream Station".
So many possibilities. I'm pretty impressed.

That is amazing, I must have one, now I will look at the price tag and probably grab my heart
Please Release this as a eurorack module. please!
Got this one, the deco, dig and cap. Un-f***ing-believable
This is going in my Helix FX loop!
i was thinking about buying the big sky, but now I'm in love with this beauty

Man, i really want to get this on my channel for bass!
Oh crap! Now I HAVE to buy this thing.
Frankenstein user here…. Thank u for making astounding products. U should include more stickers in the box.
Great pedal for making music to fall asleep
I'm excited. It will compliment the Volante well...not so much could be said about my savings account though.
You're cooking good stuff right there
Very nice!

Love ! Still hoping for a similar large format dirt /amp box
Clearly they trust guitarists to not all be Luddites. FET driven Multiband dynamics and impulse response or ?
We miss you on camera, Mr Celi!!
Most epic reverb pedal. Super!
Please let there be a euro rack version on the way
seriously lookin out for Bea's take on this.
Same!
The Size/Pitch knob, I have a question about that. How do you know which function it will adjust ? Is it always Size until you hit the Infinite switch and then it adjusts Pitch? Thanks!
seems like its interpolating between the steps.
Thats cool!
"Are you ready to be beamed up sir?"
