## What is BLEASS Shimmer?

The unique pitch-shifting reverb in BLEASS Shimmer makes performances dance and sing in ways you never imagined possible. Harmonics are emphasised and new tonal colours emerge as luscious washes of reverb thicken and harmonise with your performance, opening up a whole new creative dimension of spatial and ambient effects.

The flexible processing architecture makes BLEASS Shimmer a highly versatile plugin overflowing with creative musical possibilities. Shape the incoming sound with the multi-mode input filter, place the two pitch-shift modules at different points in the signal chain for wildly different results, and combine them with a clean, rich reverb. An integrated ducker helps the direct signal stand out from the reverb and is perfect for rhythmic and blooming effects.

This vast sonic potential is easy to tame, both live and in the studio, thanks to a clear and tactile interface designed for hands-on exploration. More than 30 included presets reveal the depth of possibilities on offer while providing great starting points for your own sound designs.

From guitars and synth pads to leads, vocals and drums, BLEASS Shimmer brings exciting new dimensions to your musicianship.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-01-22*

☝️😈

**Developer response:** Heavenly :)

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-01-21*

My guitar fell in love with it.

**Developer response:** We hope the honeymoon's lasting!

### 5/5 — Like Valhalla for desktop

*2024-09-30*

I wanted an iPad version (IOS) to bring a thick and wide “granular-like” feel to my IOS pads. Wow! Exactly what I expected from a Shimmer Reverb, and I have heard some very ineffective shimmer reverbs (most of them, actually), but this one is the best I have heard. It makes me feel like I am running through my laptop rig with Valhalla! Nice!

**Developer response:** Thank you, we develop plugins for feedback like yours!

### 5/5 — This is not what you think, read below!

*2023-07-24*

Among all the shimmer apps, I’m not claiming that it’s the better of them all, but the truth is , this is the most elegant and sonically most beautiful sounding shimmer among of them all. 

Don’t believe me? Just try this on your guitar,or the favourite synth of yours. Use the presets, it’s absolutely fine, with a few turn of the knobs it’ll take your instrument to a far distance galaxy.

I’m not going to dive into details as most the people just read the title, as I’ve experienced, but this is not just a shimmer, this is The BLEASS Shimmer! Period.

**Developer response:** Spot on! BLEASS Shimmer goes way beyond synth processing, and we're happily experiencing its richness every day. Thank you for your generous comment and support.

### 4/5 — Shimmer me timbres

*2023-06-21*

There are unique sounds to be made with this, it’s very configurable, easy to use and fun to mess with. The price is very reasonable, too. No significant update for a very long time, but perhaps that is because BLEASS consider this app perfect?

### 4/5 — CPU

*2021-12-23*

Excellent effet shimmer que j’utilise pour ma guitare avec bias fx ou rhino amp seul bémol ça utilise énormément de ressources pourtant j’ai un iPad Pro 2018 A12x bionic …

**Developer response:** êtes vous certain que c'est le Shimmer qui consomme beaucoup de CPU, ou bias FX / Rhino Amp? à quel buffer jouez vous? n'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez le moindre soucis!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-12-01*

I put off buying this for a while as I didn’t think it was essential. 
Within 5 minutes of using it it had already become one of my favourite effects units. It sounds incredible and I now use it in every track.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review! Stay tuned for more mesmerizing new apps ;-)

### 5/5 — Dope

*2020-08-04*

Get them all

**Developer response:** We hope you're still having fun with us :)

### 4/5 — Figured it out.

*2020-07-04*

I had assumed that this app worked through Audiobus or Inter-App Audio and that a window with the controls could be opened up over my GB projects through one of these avenues. In reality, you need to add BLEASS Shimmer under Plugins and EQ like you would any of the stock GB effects. 

I wish there was a one-page tutorial the first time you open the app that explained this, as there are now several ways to use different apps with GB. It’s confusing these days.

**Developer response:** Seems that you figured it out, thank you for adjusting your note and comment. If our support brought don't hesitate to reach out in the future, we're always reading feedback like yours.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Gorgeous sound

*2020-06-21*

Like all the BLEASS apps, this one is wonderful and adds a beautiful trail any sound. Well done!!

**Developer response:** Trail, morph, grains... it really does it all! Thank you for your curiosity and feedback.
