blueSky（V2）
$379Reference price
A second-generation reverb pedal that renews the original blueSky. Just plugging in yields clear, expansive ambience, building a grand sense of scale from single notes and chords. The spring algorithm is new, recreating vintage spring character in a modern way. Shimmer sounds are also on board.
A second generation renewing the original compact reverb
It carries three reverb types, plate, room, and spring, covering everything from vintage textures to dreamlike soundscapes in one unit. A 480MHz ARM processor and 24-bit 96kHz AD/DA converters deliver studio-quality ambience in a compact enclosure.
Three reverb types
Plate is a smooth plate reverb evoking classic records of the 60s and 70s, and room can draw anything from a small room to an arena. Spring recreates a high-performance vintage spring circuit, with a renewed algorithm delivering the feel of the era.
Shimmer and tone controls
The dedicated Shimmer knob adds a different pitch effect for each reverb type: an octave up on plate, an octave up plus a fifth on room, and on spring an octave down with adjustable LFO speed. LOW/HIGH tone controls shape the frequency balance of the ambience.
Modulation selectable per reverb type
Setting the Mod switch to light modulates the delay lines inside the reverb tank, adding slight movement to the tail. Deep also modulates the input signal itself for deeper modulation.
Studio-quality hardware
The input is a high-impedance, ultra-low-noise discrete Class A JFET preamp. Stereo I/O and line/instrument input switching support synthesizers and effects loops. It offers full MIDI support and stores 300 presets.
