    It pleases me greatly to see serious people using pedals as serious production tools. The majority of home producers seem to almost completely dismiss pedals as a guitar only endeavor not worthy of the studio, especially since “a plug-in can do that.” I come from playing guitar, and have loved pedals since I started playing, and immediately gravitated to them, despite the added complexity of shuttling sound out of the box and back in. And I naturally look for pedals, rather than plugins, to handle my effects. An EQD Pyramids for flanger, Mr Black Twin Lazers for phasing, Walrus Julianna for chorus or vibrato (along with some very excellent modulation), Strymon Volante for tape echo, Empress Echosystem for any of various sorts of delay, Source Audio Ventris and Free The Tone Future Ambi-Space for reverbs and on and on.

      Thanks Christopher, I truly believe that finding your own voice is ABSOLUTELY key. For me, pedals (well, maybe not this one) are a relatively inexpensive way of discovering your own sonic footprint. There's tons of them available second hand and because they're built to gig and tour.... well they're brick shit houses and last forever.

    • @BitcoinTakeover
      @BitcoinTakeover 4 роки тому +8

      The argument for purchasing pedals instead of plug-ins is that they have a resale value. You can't sell your license to anyone after you stop producing music, and you can't borrow them to a friend. On the other hand, pedals are physical and retain value over time.

      @@BitcoinTakeover And it doesn’t even take not producing anymore. There may be an effect that you use only for a particular project or that otherwise has limited utility for you. Buy the pedal, use it, sell it. Pedals are quite literally plugins, only made of “stuff” instead of digital ether with locking schemes that occasionally fail, aren’t really portable for collaborators purposes, etc. Plugins certainly are convenient, and most sound great, but they’re not inherently superior unless convenience is your top priority.

      Home Producers dismiss pedals? I always thought this was the standard and cheap hack we were all doing? I've been plugging keyboards into stomps, guitars into my old DigiTech 44 Rackmount, and routing out of VSTs through both of these for years. Didn't realise this was an oddity. Although, we did used to play live with laptops and Guitar Rig running into further stomp boxes... cause sometimes what you really need in life is three Quad Delays in serial, with a split channel of 100% plate reverb, all going into a stomp fuzz box for maximum screaming fuzz box noise.
      The Strymon's are filthy good, should come with some sort of dribble shield. Been tempted by the Big Sky and now the Night Sky for years, but went with a Helix instead for ease of routing options and... sort of portability... but I'm still tempted to put a Night Sky at the end of it. :D

    Thanks for articulating the troubles with hidden functions on pedals, Christian. I have always felt somewhat ashamed that I don't learn and remember every detail of every piece of gear I own as I once did when I was younger and had far less gear and a better memory. I've always felt it was a bit cheap that I was only scratching the surface of a piece of gear. One thing I will say, however, is when you seriously fall in love with a piece of gear, when it becomes part of your sound, your secret weapon, you use it so much that you end up learning all of the hidden functions, or at least, keep the manual handy because you use it so often. I bought the Night Sky as soon as it was announced, but it's not my current secret weapon. It's the Microcosm from Hologram Electronics. You owe it to yourself to check it out if you don't know it.

    What I love about Strymon pedals is how well their feature set is thought out and carefully planned out. They could've gone completely overboard. Load it with every feature any reverb ever had. They have the expertise, if they wanted to. But that would lead to it being unbelievably annoying to use and control like some other all-in-one type of pedals. But they didn't. Every bit of functionality is there for a reason. And as usual there's multiple layers of features, which can be accessed via specific switch press combinations. So things you might not want to adjust on the fly are still there, but they are not in the way at all. You can see this design philosophy running through majority of their pedals.
    Yes people will complain about how Strymon became so mainstream it's a little annoying. However, there's some real masterwork engineering and software design going on in these boxes. So, it is well deserved I'd say.
    P.S. Those are the views of a guitar player. Reception might be totally different among other groups of people who may use Strymon pedals.

    This pedal sounds great - especially if you love to mess with sound design. There's no end to the manipulations. But if you want a pedal reverb of the same high quality, with the ability to save presets, but can make do with about half the feature set for less money, check GFI System's Specular Reverb 3. I particularly like the width of its stereo outs - lush & wide.

    Nice review and overview. In fact, probably the most comprehensive and well-structured I've seen on any piece of kit, though it probably helps that there aren't that many features to go through. I am also quite fascinated by the fact that after getting into pathcing my Empress Effects Zoia properly, I can watch a review like this and not feel any urge to buy the reviewed item at all. Instead my mind is starting to conceive of ways to do exactly the same on the Zoia, which I think you can for pretty much all the features of this paragon of Strymon reverb pedals. I think the Strymon pedals are great, but I am so glad I've got the Zoia as it's saving me so much money.

    • @Snowdeaf

  • @deastman2

    I have several Strymon pedals, and my only complaint about them is the hidden features. They all have additional functionality hidden under shift buttons without any labeling on the box to indicate that those features exist. I keep meaning to add my own labels. It's very frustrating to have to go look up the user manuals for all these different boxes every time I use them. That said, I think they sound great, and NightSky is no exception.

    But yes, moving real faders and knobs DOES make a BIG difference. I learned it yet again. I used to be all in the box, but the mixes suffered a bit. I went back to moving faders etc, and things locked in place.
    I came from the hardware world, and later i went all in the box. Now im 50/50 and my mixing got not only faster but im not second guessing so much anymore.

    yes, many obvious features of a reverb are buried beneath button combinations, however, in its priceclass it far outfeatures its competetors.
    for a guy like me who will run this in his live synth rig, dub style, i am going to build 8 excellent presets that do exactly what i want, and have 8 empty slots for experimenting and trying to remember what button combos do when in the studio.
    i think this pedal is excellent.

    I love this pedal :) I'm mainly a guitar player but also love synths! the nightsky to me is half guitar pedal! half synth!! you could sit there for hours just creating ideas! and making whatever music you like!! that doesn't need to be generic :) I have had people saying I should get a Strymon for years!! I came close with a secondhand blue sky which sadly got lost in the post? I got a refund etc. and didn't have enough to push for a new and just left it! but finally ended up with the nightsky when I sold some stuff and the time was right :) no regrets

    The pedal makes the piano sound so scandi - I love it. This is a great pedal to get people into using analogue reverb and provides for deep learning. Also a fantastic gateway into analogue synths.
    Really great explanation for new composers on oscillation vs. Modulation, Christian; Sometimes built-in tools like Space Designer and RetroSynth can be difficult for newbies to negotiate. Many musicians find that it’s not the same learning experience when grabbing a parameter with a mouse compared to the tangibility offered through a physical module :)

    If someone is searching a tune that is playing, then it’s very similar to «Sparklehorse - Eyepennies».
    It’s a very lovely sad song!

    Haha, that moment when you hit the overdrive button... immediately sold.

    There was something super special with the volante....no other pedal for me can do its harmonic...lost in a labyrinth kind of floaty feeling.

    Volante was the first with this form factor but do wish they would have used the same type of knobs btwn the two. My OCD is flexing....

    13:59 I'm with Robbie. I literally put my hand over my mouth and said "ohhh" at that sound too.
