What an amazing video! I ususally don't comment - but I love your precision around the models - not talking but writing helps so much! Deserves so many more views... Keep it up! THANKS a lot!
I currently on a Blackhole reverb but definitely want to get a night sky in addition. I just love these types of ambient reverbs. The night sky just has a great layout and accessibility to all the parameters…although the Blackhole does a great job of that, too. I think these two are actually the very best of all the ambient reverbs out there… Personally. I know there are a lot of other great ones, too, but these are more in my personal wheelhouse.
Thanks for posting this! I recently sold my nightsky to free up board space and $ for a couple of pre-orders... But I find myself missing the small handful of sounds I was regularly using. Blackhole has been on my radar as a smaller / more affordable (in the used market) option. I'm curious how blackhole would respond to quick, step-like changes to the size knob (like an OBNE expression ramper on square wave, or an EHX 8-step with no glide) - think it could sound at all like the nighsky sequencer? I wish Strymon would release a smaller version of nightsky (reserving env modes, HPF, shimmer intervals, glimmer, and sequencer for the larger one). I sure miss what was my go-to sound in nightsky: sparse algo with random modulation, post gain, and a hint of shimmer!
I hadn't considered using it that way but you would certainly get pitch modulation by using expression on the Size knob. It obviously wouldn't be as precise as Nightsky but a cool effect none the less. And I agree, Nightsky does so much so well but it takes a lot of real estate on the board so it requires some commitment.
I personally seem to be having alot of difficulty with my blackhole reverb, i think im going to try some of the software pc presets, because the sounds i get seem to just be very one toned? either nothin, or ALL CRAZY BLACK HOLE NESS, no inbetween
It is a little difficult to tame at first. If you check out my "8 Favorite Sounds with Blackhole" video, I share a dropbox link with a few presets that can get you started. Thanks for watching
Then you’ve not even scratched the surface of the Blackhole. The options, choices, and variations of reverb are freaking endless. It’s an amazing pedal. If by “limited” you mean it doesn’t do standard reverbs, I get that to an extent. But it’s a very deep pedal in its own right & can do a lot more than is advertised.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your feedback!
Black hole. Night sky. Cloudburst.
I have all three sold the black hole
It’s a great Reverb. I just needed the money and I had to choose one.

Best review I saw and I saw a couple of videos. Well done sir
Thank you!
Thank you for this video!
what a beautiful demo
Thanks for watching!
@@BrettWondrak thanks for making it!
The eventide space would’ve been a fairer competition but it would win 😂
Agreed. That would be a really fun comparison.

Price point plays a good factore in this

Nightsky or H90?
Which do you think the best between this two ?
Both are great but Nightsky suits my needs better.
Blackhole is way too limitted... Waste of money IMO...
It ultimately depends on the style of music you play and what you need from the reverb. Both are really cool options but neither is for everyone.
