Some people have been asking me to make more ''30 minutes with'' videos that I was doing many years ago with my Strymon pedals, so I said: why not!
It's a great challenge to improvise music that stays interesting and musical for an entire 30 minutes without interruption, while trying different sounds on a pedal.
I opted to play mostly through the 16 different stock presets of the Night Sky, because this pedal needs a lot of tweaking and I didn't want to spend half of the video twisting knobs!
Relax and enjoy :-)

I hold you, Antoine, fully responsible for being the proud owner of a Nightsky 😎 Nice playing and great video, like always! Love and light from sunny Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤️☀️🏖

[@TheFarout69]

The only thing that can come close to what Nightsky does is the EHX Superego+ with even more effects like reverb in it's send return loop. I have that EHX rig, and it's very cool side chained, but it does not sound this awesome. Nightsky sounds VERY HiFi. --- Great noodling!

[@aljen9611]

The 1/6 factory preset ist my favourite. All other have been overwritten months ago. :) This one is magic, anyway. Even more when in Seq mode. Even "morer" with decently Glimmer/high added. Thank you for sharing! (Especially for the stuff @ 22.xx… gorgeous. Followed by @26.50 - wow.)

[@BobGuido]

One of my favorite things

[@andyjeffries4188]

Beautiful playing and the pedal is great. But your GAS video cured me and I’m gonna get all these sounds with the pedals I already have 😉

[@jammer777]

Was the NightSky a result of G.A.S? 😎 Sorry couldn’t resist, just finished watching your GAS video (which was awesome by the way).

[@sT0RMY823]

Sounds really good !

It sounds like it does everything my Walrus Audio Slö does and then some

and in stereo if desired

I just finished watching your video on Timeline. I am new to ambient guitar and I want to get a few pedals, but I also want to choose the right fit. If I am planning to add a reverb to the Timeline, what would you suggest, please? Would it be better to go with a Strymon Big Sky , NightSky, or Immerse Mark II? Thank you!

[@AntoineMichaudGuitar]

Immerse MkII is outstanding and would cost you less than the Strymons, so I would go with this one!

[@charlarge3555]

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Thank you for getting back to me! I’m looking forward to your course!🙏🏻

[@soundmapper]

If I may....I own both. Depends on what you want. If you're just looking for good reverb, the immerse is great. If you're looking for a bunch of shimmer and fluff, on top of good reverb the nightsky has more to offer. I might actually return the nightsky as its too much for my needs. I can't see using more than 30% of this pedal, and that's both for guitar AND synth (moog mother 32 and polivoks)

[@charlarge3555]

@@soundmapper Thank you so much for your input. So appreciated!

[@CNBFilmMakerBrain]

how to save my setting in FAV 1 to 8?

[@johnduval482]

Probably a minority opinion but i really dislike “shimmer” no matter who the manufacturer may be. It’s just so artificial in not a good way. I have this pedal only because a touring friend didn’t want it anymore so I bought it at a real bargain price just for the reverb but the shimmer effect just leaves me cold. My own minority opinion and i understand that for most it seems to be a pleasing effect.
