As far as size of the pedal, yeah it's big but some may not be perturbed by that. I can assure you, the sequencing/MIDI aspect is not its party piece. As I own the pedal and it's obvious there is value there tone-wise for a guitar player, I felt the need to rebut that dismissal.Īnd as I've used the pedal and gotten a good understanding of its functionality (the first thing I did was MIDI map it to an Evolution uc-33a, and a KMI QuNexus for note triggering), I understand its strengths and weaknesses. That is why I felt the need to comment in the first place. If you go back and read my posts, I agreed with your H9 recommendation.Īnd actually you dismissed the entire pedal for a whole context of players. I didn't dismiss every thing you had to say. Yes, i had some thoughts that I decided to edit out, after I decided that I didn't want to waste everyone's time. You dismissed everything I had to say, and were the first to be defensive about your point of view. It's very useful outside Sequence mode.Īnd to your point, who cares what someone who actually owns the device knows, amiright?Įdit: As well, your forum example is purely anecdotal and hardly an objective basis.Īnd I now see you edited your post to remove most of what you said. You aren't every guitar player and you don't speak on behalf of them.Īnd to make it clear, the NightSky only sounds automated with the Sequence mode. I said YMMV, which stands for "Your Milage May Vary". I have no idea where your hostility towards my responses is coming from. Who cares what guitarists think, amiright? It has more to do with warping the pitch of an audio buffer over time. The "time" portion of the pedal is not really measured in a MIDI-clock type tightness. I can tell you as an actual owner of the NightSky that your first concern is immaterial. If it's physically oversized for your pedalboard, it is what it said: I just know for a fact that this reverb will work with any melodic signal.Īs to size, that's YMMV for everyone individually. It's not like a delay where if it's off sync with the drummer it sounds like crap.Īnd if you check my first post, I noted I was not a guitarist. As well, with the sequencing portion, it does respond to a MIDI clock, but not stop/start signals (I've confirmed this with Strymon tech via-email already). You don't get super tight window reverb times. Surely as a guitarist you have heard complaints about pedal size and how to fit a pedal onto a pedalboard. Surely as a guitarist you have heard complaints about pedal size and how to fit a pedal onto a said: This is why overly automated sounding pedals don't stick with guitarists: Adrenalinn, Boss Slicer, Moog MURF, etc. I don't claim to have played with cream of the crop, top-class session drummers, but I've played with enough drummers to understand just how difficult it is to play along with a click/sequencer when you as the drummer are so used to being the time generator. Number one issue is how to make it work in a band with a live drummer and/or bass player, if the band music is not very, very, very tightly arranged - like where everybody is used to playing along with a sequencer or mechanical click of some sort. The questionable issues are not related to the sound itself but have more to do with logistics. I'm not saying it would not sound lovely on a guitar. I got one and just a few hours of fooling around with it, I can say that with 100% confidence! Anything melodic, the NightSky will work. Not even a guitar player, and I can PROMISE you the NightSky would sound lovely on a guitar. Nitesky, while of questionable value for guitar, could be fun with your synth(s) since it has a sequencer and MIDI.Įventide H9 Max would be a more versatile solution than either of the other two for synth usage, since it runs all the algos, not just the reverb ones, and has excellent MIDI implementation.
