Strymon has beefed up their BigSky pedal in a very significant way, thanks to the BigSky MX.
The BigSky MX still has the pedal’s original 12 engines for reverb, but now lets you run two at once thanks to a particularly powerful new processor. The BigSky MX also offers new IR capabilities and the ability to add your own IRs, should you need to. Then there are new, less-noisy algorithms, a new display, and more streamlined controls.
“We’ve been working on this thing for the better part of four years”, said Gregg Stock, Strymon‘s CEO and co-founder. “It’s been a labor of love, and we knew that the legions of original BigSky fans were counting on us to get it right the first time. In the end it exceeded all of our expectations, and we’re really happy with how it turned out. The 12 engines in BigSky MX produce the absolute best ambiences we’ve ever made, and the ability to run two engines at once and the impulse stuff is a major step forward.”
“Playing around with BigSky MX during development has been a blast,” says Pete Celi, Strymon‘s co-founder. “The new algorithms are bigger, wider and cleaner than anything we’ve been able to achieve in the past, and impulse response playback is a welcome addition. We’ve included our very own long captures of some classic studio devices and some oddball vintage units collected by one of our engineers too, so there is an entire world of creative reverb in there to explore.”
