Strymon BigSky MX Reverberator Reverb Guitar Effect Pedal with 12 Algorithms, Dual Routing Operation

Manufacturer's Description

One Verb to Rule Them All

Introducing the BigSky MX from Strymon, the next-generation reverb workstation that changes the game for dedicated reverb pedals. It can be daunting to dramatically improve a product like the original BigSky, as it’s been a staple on pro pedalboards for a long time for a host of very good reasons, but we’ve spent the last four years making sure that we achieved that goal. It sounds bigger, wider and more expressive than anything else on the planet, with a host of new features and capabilities that make it the new Greatest Of All Time reverb.

The new BigSky MX is a world-class reverberator that packs a host of powerful features into a single enclosure: it uses a tri-core 800 MHz ARM processor to achieve two reverb machines at once, with Series, Parallel or Split audio routing and new panning controls. Of the 12 reverb machines, seven are brand new and the remaining classic machines all get powerful sonic and feature upgrades. The new convolution engine is capable of playing ten-second stereo impulse responses, along with the ability to fully edit the IRs. 22 impulses come preloaded, including a large number of custom long captures of classic analog studio gear. Stereo I/O, DIN and TRS MIDI I/O and USB-C round out the connections, and a new OLED screen, dedicated Infinite/Freeze footswitch and multiple footswitch modes make it easier to control than ever.

Highlights

• Soar to new sonic heights with 12 world-class reverb machines, including seven brand-new algorithms, as well as enhancements to classic BigSky voicings.
• Unlock full stereo potential with the ability to run two reverbs at once with Series, Parallel and Split audio routing, along with a new adjustable pan control per engine.
• An advanced convolution engine allows for ten-second impulse response playback and full editing of the IRs, letting you make BigSky MX truly your own.
• Plus, the custom long captures of oddball analog and classic studio gear we created in-house let you access effects and sounds never heard before in a guitar pedal.
• Stereo inputs and outputs allow for a variety of routing options, while our discrete Class A JFET input preamps deliver unmatched feel and responsiveness.
• A dedicated Infinite/Freeze footswitch intuitively enables you to create lush pads to play over.
• Full MIDI implementation via DIN, TRS, or USB-C lets you make the most of BigSky MX’s vast range of controls and 300 preset locations. All this in a robust, easy-to-use and elegant pedal.
