The Seamoon Skye Machine is a bass stereo chorus pedal from Seamoon FX. It is an all-analog chorus with a three-position switch that selects between three chorus settings, plus a Blend control for mixing the effected signal with your dry bass tone1. Seamoon FX describes it as "the first, last and only chorus you will ever need"1.
Although it is billed as a bass chorus, Seamoon FX says it is "equally adept at handling bass, guitar, and keyboards"2, so players of other instruments can put it to work too.
An all-analog stereo chorus for bass
The Skye Machine is an all-analog design1, which sets it apart from the many digital chorus pedals that model several modulation types at once. Here the palette is fixed: three chorus sounds, chosen with a switch, and a Blend knob to set how much of the chorus sits under your dry signal12.
The pedal has a True Stereo/Mono Output12, so it can feed two amplifiers or a stereo recording setup, and it works fine into a single mono amp as well. For a bass player, that stereo path is the interesting part: a chorus spread across two amps or two sides of a PA keeps the low end wide without collapsing into one speaker.
Seamoon FX's own description of the sound leans on the ethereal:
"All encompassing, enveloping time and space. The Skye Machine is the embodiment of all things ethereal1."

The switch and blend control
The Skye Machine keeps its control surface simple: a three-position switch for the chorus setting and a Blend control12. The Blend control mixes the chorus in with your dry signal, which matters on bass, where too much modulation can thin out the low end.
The three positions, in Seamoon FX's words:
| Position | What Seamoon FX says it does |
|---|---|
| Top | "A medium level of all analog glory. Beautiful and present, a perfect sweet spot."1 |
| Middle | "The longest delay time. Throbby, pulsey with a maximum amount of beautiful swirl."1 |
| Bottom | "The most subtle setting. Gorgeous, shimmery, delightful. When you need to add a little sweetness to your sound."1 |
The middle position is the deepest of the three, using the longest delay time in the circuit for a pronounced, swirling chorus. The bottom position is the one for players who want chorus that stays out of the way of the fundamental, adding shimmer rather than movement12.
