Strymon NightSky - In-Depth Tour with Sound Designer Pete Celi

[@TheDankCat127]

Me: “Okay, my board is good. No more pedal swapping.” Strymon Walter White: “We’re done when I say we’re done.”

[@mikehancho7172]

you i cackled hard at this lmaoooo thanks man

[@No.0.o.0]

Genius move not making it a replacement to the Big Sky but a cool sibling that does drugs and got into synths. Wish it was a 28hp module but it's still a thing of beauty.

[@flyjohnson711]

It is the most psychedelic pedal ever haha

[@LeonTodd]

Strymon have out-strymoned themselves with this - EPIC. Always love Pete's deep dives too.

[@danielpirone8028]

Looking forward to your review Leon!!!

[@mrfender5001]

[@MajorDeRanges]

hahahahaha! So true! Thanks for that, just burst out laughing :)

[@bmnathe]

he sounds like Ricky Jay to me

[@nicholasrussell620]

This is nuts guys. Congrats on somehow outdoing yourselves once again.

[@tommyrotts]

I don't know what's more beautiful, how it looks or how it sounds. Good job, as always!

[@southernmainesonicexperime3438]

A perfect introduction. Clear, concise, and demonstrating some great sounds. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!

[@tommylockett99]

I own a NightSky, and the one BIG thing you have to be aware of, you will need an external midi controller, it can hold 300 patches in 3 banks, BUT they have no librarian to keep track of this so you better think about it, also you can not access the next 8 patches from Strymond unless you can send controller, and PC messages, now you can create cool patches fast, but where do you store them? and how do you retrieve them? I reached out to Strymond and their words are you must buy an external control and figure out a patch librarian on your own, now that being said, I own a Morningstar MC8 and have begun to make and store my own patches, but at this price point you will have to invest in another controller to take advantage of this pedal...this is never mentioned in any review that I have seen yet, and its a BIG deal at this price point...Helix, Eventide H9 all have advanced editor/ librarian software to support their pedals, this does not...

[@Essjay88]

3 years on and still no support in nixie... got really excited recently when there was an update but still no support for nightsky yet they still churn out new peddles. Come on Strymon!

[@Adamhyrule_]

The kind of peal you could base a whole album around. Im all in! and broke.

[@VonBluesman]

An individual could make a whole movie track by their self with this pedal. The possibilities are unlimited. Congratulations Strymon.

[@TheFarout69]

This guy talked me into the Volante. Best delay pedal I've ever played with. This Nightsky sounds incredible. Pete Celi, Sir, you are killing it. Wicked filtering algorithms, they are so well implemented in this and the Volante. I'm using a Silverlake reverb pedal now, but this thing... wow.

[@strymon]

Thank you!

[@SlowDescentToWild]

This looks amazing. Definitely very tempted!

[@SanderAnderon]

boy am I glad I've watched way too many 'verb pedal demos the past months and, somehow, held off on buying anything until this big unveil today!!!!!!! NightSky is next generation stuff, like discovering a new family of planet or comet types, wow

[@jerrykosak]

No only do your products keep getting better, but the videos used to introduce/demonstrate them also get better. I'm able to learn how to use the TimeLine and BigSky a bit better as a result of watching this. Thanks Strymon.

[@andrewrwhitfield]

Incredible!! Wow. Must confess I clicked like before I watched the video lol. Now 'like' seems like a massive understatement. Well done Strymon!!!

[@GreccPerspective]

The Dry/Reverb Mix on the pedal is ingenious.

[@JoalsomRJ]

The best pedal songs! This is Wonderfull!

[@returnofthenative]

What a terrific demo, thank you.

[@imantisocial3179]

It is such a relief when strymon releases a new product and I dont feel an instant compulsion to purchase it. My bank account thanks you for not releasing a combination reverb/delay. Amazing sounds from this unit though.

[@joefazer2424]

Feel the same.. Phweeeew.. :)

[@josephwright5921]

I wish they WOULD release a combination reverb/delay so the two can work together! After listening further though, it seems like this pedal gets into the delay territory.

[@d.r.7691]

@@josephwright5921 When The Sun Explodes does that a bit. I just picked up a Walrus D1 and Slö and fuck it, I'm gonna tape them together and call them one pedal.

[@evenstephen2000]

No relief for me. It may be 3 years later but I WANT this!

[@DRChevalier]

Thank you so much for the detailed presentation Pete. Superlatively informative and an excellent sampling of possibilities. I expect that this will cost me more money to accompany all my other Strymon tools.

[@inhabitantmusic9051]

This is the best explanation of this pedal, showing that it can be used regularly with a guitar rig for gigging, to having it for studio exploratory sounds and ideas. I am a big Strymon fan and i would like to add this to my Strymon collection. Personally I would like to pair it with the Volante and explore. Great stuff! 👍😊

[@StupidEarthlings]

Love this down to earth explanation of the pedal, and its functions.

[@cfibanez]

Relieved! I get to keep my BigSky.

[@jupitermarx]

I should receive mine today👏🏼so I’ll be watching and taking notes!

[@TheMirolab]

For 2 years I been considering an Eventide Space or a Strymon Big Sky.... can't decide on either.... and now THIS! I don't need it, but I sure do want it.

[@aiaccident]

Seriously, the Strymon Big Sky is superior to eventide. At least in my opinion. If I was forced to sell all other pedals except 1, I would keep my Big Sky. Fantastic. Now broke but will buy the new one when I have the cash.

[@Ytrearneindre]

just to make the decision even harder: have you checked out source audio ventris? better than the big sky imo.

[@barryallen8088]

Frankenstein user here…. Thank u for making astounding products. U should include more stickers in the box.

[@briangarrison2021]

I can’t get the wonderful sequence features out of my head , I want to run all my synths through this beast 😜

[@Djpuzzle]

Do it!

[@InVacuo]

I'm guessing this is a result of Pete getting into synthesis. Looks freaking awesome.

[@benjaminbrodie9801]

EPIC PEDAL!!!! The Nightsky is another classic amongst many that Strymon has created. I'm putting in my pre-order now. First, I've got to find my mom's credit card.

[@brunovalente2077]

Can I use your mom's card also?

[@luludelasnubes]

Ok... now I want one...!! Always exciting news from Strymon !

[@johnott193]

Generally I’m more of a classic reverb type player. But this is insane! And the subtle reverb tones shown on the dense setting are so good. I’m going to start looking around the house for stuff to sell...

[@benki._]

Please Release this as a eurorack module. please!

[@luckyhodcastellana3366]

This.... is.... unbelievable

[@prestomattwine]

This is going in my Helix FX loop!

[@Joldrath]

omg.. I have been going to Avalance Run from Earthquaker Devices for my reverb fun. Seems there is a new kid on the block with even more tricks up her sleeve.

[@michaelnewham6958]

thankyou strymon... i have five of your effects. the OB1, DIG, SUNSET, BLUE SKY, AND VOLANTE. You guys keep blowing me away with every new release. Thanks again, I have been building my dream set up and you guys have the most real estate on my pedaltrain terra 42. I also use these pedals for different synths. I have loved lockdown to be honest and feel like the happiest man in the world. I bought up 3 other reverbs by different brands so to test as a process of elimination, but now i have seen this, well, i think you know what might happen now.... cheers team STRYMON.

[@strymon]

Thank you Michael for all the love! Appreciate reading this :)

[@regaudieguillaume]

Oh wow! Well done Strymon!!

[@jcshirke]

We should all take a moment to acknowledge how lucky we are to inhabit this cosmos at the same time as Pete Celi.

[@strymon]

This will make Pete blush :)

[@jcshirke]

@@strymon I had a dream last night that I bought a NightSky. This morning my stimulus check arrived. Coincidence? I think not.

[@fgsgtrldh1220]

I falled in love that !!!!!!

[@CoenBijpost]

I can see a modulation and delay pedal in this same format. This level of control is absolutely amazing. Maybe even a sequenced drive pedal! Dare I say a full fledged Strymon guitar synth? Can’t wait to see what you guys dream up next!

[@theresnotoolinthispool857]

If they made a guitar synth my bank account would never forgive me.

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Really great sounds. I'm loving these new pedals (already got the Volante :-)). And really enjoying the new UI designs.

[@KevinGreen-vx4ok]

[@PedalExperiments]

[@alchemysticgoldmind4164]

Brilliant…These guys are making History

[@tristanvadimterranova8053]

This pedal could have been named "Dream Station". So many possibilities. I'm pretty impressed.

[@ROKZLEON]

Strymon - We know reverb!!! 👦🏻 Another great pedal guys!!! 👍🏻

[@hustonsingletary402]

Loving what this pedal does. Nice work Strymon crew on taking things in new directions but still keeping all the deep space goodness, diffusion and Q comp goodies. If folks still think they need the "next and newest effect pedal" to complete their music and production process after this week's drops they need to get back to their 9-5, lol

[@peterperson1]

My thoughts go out to Eventide at what must be a difficult time for them right now.... Blackhole anyone?......Anyone??!! Well played Strymon, well played.

[@nr92cp6]

Eh, the Blackhole doesn't compete with this, but the Space and H9 remain as relevant as ever.

[@peterperson1]

Derek Ferrell There’s nothing wrong with the Blackhole algorithm and I agree the H9 & Space are still very relevant but Strymon release a unique & boundary pushing pedal in the same week that Eventide release a standalone pedal version of the same old Blackhole algorithm that first surfaced in 1994 and is already available in the H9, Space pedal & as a plug-in? If I were Eventide, I’d be feeling pretty embarrassed. Granted, they’re slightly different animals but if you’re in the market for an ambient reverb pedal, I just can’t see why anyone would get the new Blackhole pedal when there are lots of other more appealing options out there?, one of which being the new Nightsky.

[@shckltnebay]

@@peterperson1 Very happy with the traditional FLINT

[@MrStupidHead]

@@peterperson1 Some like the old classics, and some like to venture out. Me, I am seduced by new packaging of venerable hits, but I'd rather spend on pushing into new territory. All in all, something for everybody.

[@geras2058]

i was thinking about buying the big sky, but now I'm in love with this beauty

[@josephwright5921]

Gera S The sky just got a little bigger!

[@aminkarali9688]

That is amazing, I must have one, now I will look at the price tag and probably grab my heart

[@TheFarout69]

Most epic reverb pedal. Super!

[@gringopig]

Pete Celi is incredibly talented and I will be buying one of these for sure. Strymon products are so clear and quiet. Such a high quality sound. I have quite a few now and the only one I didn't like was the Sunset drive pedal.

[@craiglizt8074]

Nice pedal! Very creative stuff from Strymon here!

[@maxxkarma]

Absolutely awesome!

[@kasakka]

I love your product demos. I feel like I learn something from them every time. My wallet loves them less though, every time I look at one of these I go from "Nah, I don't need one" to "Well...actually that might be kind of nice to play with!" I also really appreciate that you are doing something different with pedals. There's many "pick an algorithm, no you can't tweak algo A the same as B" type units on the market so having these sort of "workstations" like the Nightsky and Volante where you can really get into crafting your own things with all the features so easy to use makes all the difference.

[@TimothyBussMusic]

Sounds like you synth guys are in heaven! The Big Sky is plenty for me.

[@WiredSpaceWizard]

Just ordered one for my Eurorack modular setup. Can’t wait!

[@mikeroadblock]

Amazing as always...

[@danielpirone8028]

[@tech2isobel]

seems like its interpolating between the steps. Thats cool!

[@the5chord]

You sent one of these to Stefan at @thepedalzone right?

[@raymondclass6794]

Dudes gonna make an epic demo

[@apislapis]

I'd be interested to know what it sounds like with a synth. Perhaps give Peter Dyer a go. There's a large synth community out there who would love to know how it would interact with a synth. A guitar demo won't show that, you might as well demo it with bagpipes (you'd get some atmospheric stuff though).

[@BubbaSatori]

@apislapis Me too. Double plus good that would be. A Strymon synth focused channel would be bonkers.

[@MrBothandNether]

ditto to this

[@feeding_ear]

@@BubbaSatori yup, i use Magneto El Cap and BigSky in my compositional work for games and would love to see more synth focused stuff for sure. Magneto is an absolute baller unit.

[@aeropilot4419]

[@kayciecarryl3366]

Very nice!

[@EntireHistory]

How do you connect to DAW in computer for recording?

[@fedesartorio]

Is this in any way influenced by Mutable Instruments’ Clouds? Because a few concepts here seem borrowed by that! Sounds great, love the almost modular approach

[@aeropilot4419]

Federico Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli I’m sure it might be ... Mutable has just released a new Veils VCA ... hopefully Clouds 2.0 is coming soon 👍🏼

[@sprungingforvoltage]

amazing! well done!

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

This pedal is awesome, but what I'd really love is a Strymon reverb+delay pedal, the same size as a Timeline (TimeSky? BlueLine?) Keep up the great work!

[@TheMirolab]

SkyTime?

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

@@TheMirolab :D That's the pedal I want!

[@wilsonhaha]

Can you store different chords on each step, or does it only shift the one thing you freeze in intervals?

[@wilsonhaha]

If not, that would be a KILLER feature if it's even possible to add it with a software update 🙄 Imagine creating a complex chord progression and use it as a pad underneath your playing. 🤯

[@TomPark1986]

I'm excited. It will compliment the Volante well...not so much could be said about my savings account though.
