Remember a few weeks back, when we asked you to send us your favorite Strymon presets? Well, we’ve received some amazing submissions – one of which we’re sharing with you today.
This Week’s Preset is extra special – not only is it a customer submission, it includes three different presets! These presets come from Joe King, who demonstrates how he captures the lead tone from Muse’s “Starlight” during live performances using BigSky, TimeLine, and Mobius. Check out the video below to hear the preset and learn how Joe dials in this unique sound.

Preset details:
The images below show the knob settings and parameters that Joe uses for “Starlight.” Dial them up individually on your BigSky, TimeLine, or Mobius, or, if you have all three, load all of them to recreate the entire preset!
Using BigSky’s Shimmer machine, Joe adds a synth-like voice to his tone. This preset is appropriately titled “Starlight.”
When performing “Starlight,” Joe dials in a short, somewhat dark, analog style delay to thicken his sound, for which he uses TimeLine’s dBucket algorithm. He calls this particular setting “Analog Slap.”
Joe incorporates the Vintage Tremolo machine on Mobius to add rhythmic movement and liveliness to his playing. Once again, he calls this specific preset “Starlight.”
