New Pedal Day (the most expensive pedal I've ever bought...)

Post by laurie » Wed Mar 08, 2023 7:23 pm

Over in this thread I tried a cheap-and-cheerful Chinese reverb pedal and it was awful:
http://www.bossareaforum.com/Forum/view ... f=13&t=719

I do have reverb on both my current amps, however:
- Each reverb tank is a "one-trick-pony"
- The reverb time (decay) isn't particularly long
- The Dr Z doesn't have an external footswitch - I could install one, but it wouldn't address the two points above.

So I have been waiting for a high quality reverb pedal to come up for sale locally, and one did yesterday.

I am the new owner of a V1 Strymon Blue Sky reverb pedal.

I think it is the most expensive pedal I've ever bought (the most I've ever paid - not the most valuable). USD$215.

And boy, is it nice.

Great to hear that it is worth the sum that you paid for it. I have only heard great things about these Strymon pedals, especially the Blue Sky.

VEry nice!

It's easy to buy a ton of cheap reverbs and end up paying more!

Pretty much an industry std these days thos Strymons and for good reason.

I think the V1 prices are a bit lower now with the v2 releases, so a good opportunity!

I'd like the Lex Rotary to try for spin (bahaha!)
