I've tested a few reverb pedals with epic stereo soundscaping powers - Strymon NightSky, Walrus R1, Boss RV-6, Neunaber Immerse - but this is my favourite. The wobbly modulation and up-octave shimmer are quite subtle, but that doesn't mean you can't achieve spectacular results with a little help from the second footswitch...
By the way, here's the one thing I don't like about the Skylar: it only has one output, so to use it in stereo you need a Y cable (it's wired TRS). Bit annoying, because right next to that single output is a totally redundant expression/tap pedal input.
Watch the video and you'll soon see why it's redundant. :)
