«  The holy grail! »

Nice small pedal with 3 types of reverb with 3 modes each, which brings us to a total of ... 9 sounds possible!
Add to that two knobs of filters (LP and HP) to modulate the whole, and a pre-delay setting the start of the reverb.
The stereo is standard (at that level, it seems normal), and it has a small button "favorite" to save a preset.

UTILIZATION

The Blusky is very easy to use provided that we know a little how to walk this kind of effect.
Its shape is a real pleasure and, not least, we do not get lost in the settings too sharp. It's not totally plug and play, but we found it very quickly!

I regret two points (and "regret" is a bit strong a word).
The single "Favorite". A second small button would not have been too! It allowed, for example,
Mega-reverb of the death of 60 seconds in a preset
Reverb-shorter to magnify the sound preset 2
Reverb-intermediate in its base.
Strymon offers a kind of extension with a pedal that provide an additional preset, but it causes a significant additional cost!

The second point is a bit annoying for those who travel a lot.
I do not know if it's due to my model where if it's "normal", but the food landed a little too often. Let me explain.
When I plug the AC power supply jack on the base, this one does not conduct current all the time. A slight movement somewhat imperceptibly disconnect pedal. It is then necessary to disconnect and reconnect the connection happen.

SOUND QUALITY

So, I will not dwell ... WOW!

It's beautiful, it's pure, it is spatieux, it fully respects the sound that he put into it ..

I listened to a lot of competition and it is completely buried!

OVERALL OPINION

So I use it for 4 months of fairly intensive ways.

I've tried the reverb Digitech, EHX, Boss, Behringer (ouarrfff) ...

The sound quality is the point that really stands out. No frills, just great sound.

With experience (and money) I would go more often to see what happens in Strymon!
