Strymon BigSky Plugin and BlueSky Pedal Stacked

5 different settings on the blueSky pedal topped off with all BigSky plugin presets except Spring. I played an Ironside The Griffon guitar. No power amp or amp sim. The tones are strictly guitar, preamps, and Strymon reverbs.

I recorder the guitar into the vari-Z section of my Sarno Revelation preamp, out to the Strymon blueSky, stereo out to the preamp section of the Revelation preamp (L) and the Mark Bass Mark Vintage Pre (R), out from both preamps into Antelope Discrete 8 interface, Studio One DAW. The BigSky plugin was added to a stereo bus with each preamp track panned 100% L/R. I matched up presets that sounded nice with the 5 blueSky settings and covered almost every preset. Finally, this all fed into the Black Rooster Audio VPre-73 plugin, then to the Master Bus with only a limiter. No other eq, compression, or reverb added.
