GFI System pedals have garnered plenty of acclaim in recent years for their stellar, ethereal sounds and intuitive interfaces. The Skylar reverb packs four quintessential and highly-versatile GFI System ambient algorithms into a compact pedal that is straightforward and easy to use. The LCD screen makes it a breeze to navigate through Skylar’s vast sonic palette and features, giving you more freedom to focus on your playing!

Key Features

  • 4 selectable reverb textures: Spatium, Shimmer, Plate, Tremble (tremolo-reverb with tap-tempo).
  • 2 presets, accessible via dedicated A/B footswitch.
  • 4 knobs provide you with plenty of control over different parameters.
  • Intuitive interface with bright LCD screen.
  • Analogue dry-through retains character of your unaffected tone.
  • Mono and stereo input/output, allowing you to use the pedal with single or dual-amplifier rigs.
  • Expression pedal and tap-tempo input lets you affect parameters on-the-fly.
  • Momentary action supported.

Mono or Stereo – You Decide!

The GFI System Skylar has both mono and stereo inputs/outputs. This means that you can use it with a simple single-amp setup, or run it through two separate amplifiers to create an immersive ambient experience. Mono connection is made using standard TS patch cables, while stereo routing is achieved via TRS cables (a splitter-Y cable may be required).‹

External Control

A thoughtfully-added multi-purpose jack allows you to connect the Skylar to an expression or tap-tempo pedal.‹ With an expression pedal, you can directly control certain reverb parameters completely on-the-fly — perfect for players who like to create experimental and otherworldly sounds! An external tap-tempo can be used to control the tremolo speed in the Tremble algorithm.

  • Current Consumption: ~110 mA
  • Weight: 0.6 Kg (1.6 lbs)

GFI System

In the current JustPedals catalogue, GFI System is represented by Delay & Reverb Pedals, Reverb Pedals and EQ Pedals. Current listings include Skylar Reverb, Rossie Multi-Filter and s ENIEQMA Dual Channel EQ. That makes the range relevant to players looking for time-based effects and ambience, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Reverb Pedals

Reverb pedals create the impression of rooms, plates, springs, halls or other spaces by surrounding the dry sound with a field of reflections. Decay controls length; pre-delay separates the attack from the ambience; damping, tone, modulation, diffusion and mix set size, brightness and movement. Short settings can add depth without washing out a part, while long tails become a deliberate texture. Check trails, spillover, stereo routing, presets, tap or MIDI control and the pedal’s headroom after drives.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Presets

Preset-capable products can store and recall effect settings, signal paths or control assignments. The useful differences are the number of locations, whether footswitches or MIDI can recall them, what parameters are saved, how quickly they change and whether trails continue between settings. Check editing, backup, firmware, expression and USB requirements, and confirm that the preset system covers the parameters you need rather than assuming every control is recalled.

Stereo

Stereo products provide separate left and right audio paths, which may widen modulation, preserve independent delays or route a pedalboard into two amplifiers or a mixer. Input and output behaviour is not always symmetrical: some units sum a stereo input, while others create stereo from a mono source. Check whether the effect collapses safely to mono, how the dry signal is routed, the socket format and the destination’s panning and phase requirements.
