Strymon BigSky MX Dual Engine Multi Reverb

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 Strymon have spent the last four years making sure that they 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 Inifinite/Freeze footswitch and multiple footswitch modes make it easier to control than ever.
