Alexander Pedals Sky 5000

Description

The Alexander Pedals Sky 5000 is a dual reverb/delay that takes inspiration from the digital rack reverbs of the '90s. These units were designed to be as affordable as possible, and had some quirks that caused the reverb effects to build in intensity over time. This slow-building artifact is one of the things that made these units so special.

The Sky 5000 has three different reverb and delay models that can be played in any combination. They're run in parallel within the pedal so that the delays and reverbs do not muddy each other up.

REVERB ENGINE:
RVB Slow-building ‘90s style reverb effect. Capable of huge washes or subtle ambience, you decide.

+1 Classic “shimmering” upper octave effect. We add in the octave both before and after the reverb for maximum effect.

-1 Adds an octave down to the reverb effect. We think it sounds like a cello playing along with you.

DELAY ENGINE:
DIG Bright and present digital delay, taken from our original Radical Delay pedal. Use this when you need to cut like a knife.

BBD Darker analog sounding delay effect. Rich and creamy, pairs nicely with the +1 engine for maximum unforgettable fire.

OIL Dark sounding delay, murky and a little distorted. Based on our fave vintage electrostatic “oil can” delay unit.
