Dedicated stereo-outs sit alongside an expression/MIDI port, which allows you to plug in an expression pedal that will control any of the unit's knobs. It also doubles as a MIDI connection when used with the Strymon MIDI-EXP cable.

It is important to use a reliable power source to ensure optimal performance and avoid any potential issues. Can the Strymon Blue Sky be used for surf-style guitar tones?
