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.

Reverb Pedals

Reverb creates the dense pattern of reflections heard after sound enters a physical or imagined space. Room, hall, plate and spring models differ in reflection density, frequency decay and modulation, while ambient algorithms extend or transform the tail beyond natural acoustics. Decay, pre-delay, damping, diffusion and wet/dry balance define the apparent size, surface and distance of that space.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
