Strymon NightSky - Time-Warped Reverberator

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. Enter a world of new sounds that blow away the boundaries of what is possible with reverb. With pioneers and adventurous sonic explorers in mind we created a reverb pedal that can go where none have gone before.

Reverberant Synthesis Machine.

NightSky is a reverberant synthesis workstation, and a powerful, hands-on experimental sound design platform. NightSky gives you real-time continuous control of reverb pitch/processing rate/core size, harmonics, and even a synth-like resonant filter with multiple modulation waveshapes, plus a step sequencer with variable glide. You haven’t heard a pedal like this before.

Specs

Sound Design

• Three selectable reverb types offer a wide variety of ambient textures
• MOD section with various waveforms to modulate the reverb or tone filters
• TONE section to sculpt the high and low EQ of the reverb
• VOICE section to enhance the aural spectrum of the reverb
• Adjustable SHIMMER for adding pitch shifting of up to +/- 1 octave to the reverb
• GLIMMER dynamically enhances high or low frequency harmonics for synth-like textures
• Pre or Post DRIVE to add saturated overdriven harmonics to the reverb
• Adjustable reverb core size to increase or decrease the space for reflections
• Independent REVERB and DRY level controls
• Step sequencer for programming rhythmic pitch variations of the reverb
• Access to 16 presets from the front panel and 300 presets via MIDI
