Strymon's latest pedal recreation is a must-have for reverb lovers.
The Strymon NightSky Plugin allows you to pitch your reverbs to a selection of different scales and modes and shape them with creative tools.
The NightSky Plugin is the latest adaptation from Strymon’s premium range of effects pedals, bringing these tasty sounds into your DAW. As usual, the plugin version takes a different approach to the pedal, encouraging a different range of musicians and producers to explore these innovative effects processors.

The NightSky provides a different angle on reverb processing, using what Strymon refers to as “reverberant synthesis”. This gives you the ability to adjust the pitch, size, and processing rate, as well as harmonics, and shape the sound with a resonant filter and LFO. Together, the range of controls lets you approach reverb as you would a virtual analogue synth plugin.
The plugin’s basic reverb controls include decay length and size/pitch, but there are three texture settings that determine the sonic makeup of your reverb. What’s more, there are infinite and freeze modes, a glide control, and two pitch quantize settings to change the behaviour of the pitch engine.
For adding animation, the LFO has a selection of shapes, and you can use the reverb, pitch, and filter as mod destinations. To add even more tonal variation to your sound, there are shimmer, glimmer, and drive. While the shimmer effect can also be pitched to scales and modes, it can also be used as part of the reverb tail or the entire signal.
In addition, the glimmer effect enhances the selected part of the signal with harmonics, and the drive control adds saturation before or after the reverb. Overall, the NightSky Plugin offers a refreshing new way to create reverbs, which is likely to appeal to any music producer regardless of the style of music you’re into.
