Strymon BigSky MX Reverb Pedal

When it comes to the untapped potential of musically rich celestial sounds, the sky is the limit. At least, that’s the case with the Strymon BigSky MX on your pedalboard! The next-generation BigSky MX equips players with exciting new BigSky sounds, including dual reverb modes, and its powerful new ARM processor unlocks greater potential. All the while, the pedal’s core tools remain plenty familiar to previous BigSky users. You’ll find known BigSky favorites, plus seven new modes, including Swell, Reflections, Chamber, and Impulse. Utilizing the ARM processor, Impulse unleashes impulse responses up to 10 seconds long, and it supports full IR editing tools and the ability to add your own IR creations. New dual modes let you combine up to two reverb styles in series, parallel, or as separate effects mapped to individual footswitches. Moreover, a dedicated Infinite switch lets you freeze and sustain signal for instantaneous pad-like textures awash in glorious Strymon detail. Explore even broader atmospheric horizons with the Strymon BigSky MX reverb pedal!

Craft and store lush libraries of effects

With 12 modes and ample customization under the hood, the BigSky MX covers every type of reverb imaginable. Modes such as Shimmer and Cloud supply lush celestial ambience while others cover conventional reverb styles such as Hall, Room, and Chamber. The Magneto mode takes on delay-like character while the Nonlinear mode gets experimental and defies conventional physics. The options are vast but always easy to configure! Gigging musicians like to take advantage of new dual modes with custom presets that put contrasting modes on each footswitch. Try putting a zanier mode like Nonlinear next to a traditional sound like Spring and be amazed at the ground that’s covered without turning any knobs or changing presets!

The Big Sky MX's potential is vast, extending beyond these 12 sounds! You can deeply edit single and dual effects, then fill up a library of favorites using hundreds of built-in preset saves. The BigSky MX’s new large OLED screen keeps deep editing a simple affair with no additional gear or software required. There are plenty of surface controls for quick tweaks to modulation, tone, mix, and other key parameters.

Dual 'verbs and custom IRs

With the ability to combine two reverbs together, the BigSky MX offers exponentially more custom reverberations than previous iterations. If you thought the original BigSky was lush, then you sust try layering old favorites together on the BigSky MX! Dual 'verbs can be distinct parallel events or you can crash them into a series for highly interactive ambience that explodes with reflections of reflections of reflections ... you get the point. The new Impulse mode also opens a new frontline in the war on analog with a fully customizable canvas just beneath the surface and 22 included impulse responses captured using analog gear.

Expansive stereo joins robust I/O

Stereo outputs, unique routing, and Class A JFET preamps give the BigSky MX unprecedented lushness and ambience. The BigSky MX’s dual mode functions are meticulously optimized for stereo use — including options that let you pan different modes to either side or mix them in parallel or as a series. You can also store hundreds of presets and call them up using MIDI (5-pin or USB-C). Connecting an expression pedal unlocks more interactive play with the ability to tweak various parameters on the fly.

Tri-core ARM processing

What about lag times? They’re nowhere to be found! The BigSky MX’s incredible new tri-core ARM processor drives enhanced DSP quality and your ability to layer modes together for an even bigger sound.
