The legendary Strymon BigSky reverb pedal has been a mainstay on pedalboards for over a decade. Now, Strymon has unveiled the BigSky MX, a powerful update that injects the classic platform with a massive shot of modern innovation.
The BigSky MX boasts several key improvements. First, it doubles down on reverb with the ability to run two independent reverbs simultaneously. You can chain them in series or parallel for complex sonic textures, or even split the signal for independent processing. Second, BigSky MX gives you the ability to add your own IR’s and edit them on the fly. Full control of your atmospheric environment. Add your own impulse response, OR utilize any of the 22 unique stereo IR’s that come pre-loaded. This opens up a galaxy of sonic possibilities, from vintage plate reverbs to lush halls all the way up to reverbs that you could have only dreamed of.
Finally, the BigSky MX benefits from a bump in processing power. This translates to several algorithm tweaks, including a more dynamic Ensemble mode and a brand new MX Shimmer effect. The Shimmer offers a modern take on the classic pitch-shifting effect, optimized to work seamlessly within your reverb chain. Overall, the BigSky MX takes a beloved pedal and expands its sonic palette for the modern guitarist.
