Key Features:

  • Three Reverb Types:
    • Spring: Emulates the classic, bright, and bouncy reverb of vintage spring units found in old amplifiers.

    • Hall: Provides a larger, more spacious reverb sound, perfect for ambient soundscapes and atmospheric effects.
  • Simple Controls:
    • Decay: Adjusts the length of the reverb tail, from short and snappy to long and drawn out.
    • Tone: Controls the brightness or darkness of the reverb effect, letting you shape the overall tonal character.
    • Mix: Balances the wet (reverb) and dry (original) signal, allowing you to dial in subtle or pronounced reverb effects.
  • True Bypass: The Sky Surfer features true bypass switching, ensuring your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is disengaged.
  • Durable Design: Built with a rugged metal chassis, the pedal is designed to handle regular use on stage and in the studio.
