Strymon NightSky Time-Warped Reverberator

About the Strymon NightSky Time-Warped Reverberator

The Strymon NightSky is an experimental reverb, a reverberator that behaves more like an old synth than a conventional reverb pedal. Under its deep set of controls are a built-in step sequencer, pitch and interval shimmer, filter modulation and an envelope follower, all aimed at lush, evolving, atmospheric textures rather than subtle room sounds (it does not do reverse reverb). It is the experimental counterpart to Strymon's more traditional, versatile BigSky.

Owners who click with the NightSky are smitten, they call it beautiful, say it sounds fantastic, and, in one case, that it does not get any better, and more than one prefers it to the BigSky for their own playing. It is a sound-designer's reverb: owners lean on its sequencer and its pitch and filter modulation to build evolving ambient beds, run it in an isolated or parallel line (one puts a distortion and a chorus in front of it) for layered textures, and pair it happily with a tape delay. A neat trick shared by owners is to tie the filter modulation to the envelope follower to approximate the reverse-reverb swells it cannot do directly. The honest caveats are all about depth and focus: it works and feels like an old synth, which owners warn is over-complicated for a lot of people, so it takes real time to learn, and by design it does not do subtle normal reverbs. The BigSky is far easier to drive, some players sold their NightSky for a simpler reverb like a Strymon El Capistan or a Source Audio Ventris, and a few note it can pass a mild hiss that a noise gate cleans up. If you want a deep, synth-like ambient machine and enjoy programming it, though, it inspires devotion.
