The Strymon BigSky MX is a reverb pedal with overwhelming computing power and unmatched versatility. This, combined with the know-how of the brand's engineers, gives you the ultimate reverb processor. For over a decade, the Californian brand has continued to create, innovate and redistribute the cards after having completely revolutionized the effects pedal market. Each new pedal is like a small earthquake in the world of music. Here, it is a mountain that rises to dominate the high-end reverb market.

For the BigSky MX, the brand takes the elegant brushed aluminum case of the classic BigSky, adding controls, connectivity and upgrading the screen with an LED model.
On the back, we find the usual stereo inputs and outputs, as well as MIDI connectivity and the ability to connect an expression pedal to control any parameter on the fly. We will also note the appearance of a USB type C port, which is appreciable.
On the front, we find exactly the same controls as on the previous version. Type to select the desired Reverb(s). Value to adjust the parameters. Mix to inject more or less wet / dry signal to the effect. 2 Param buttons that can be assigned as desired. A Tone for the frequencies, a Mod to adjust the modulation part, a Pre-Delay for the delay of the effect and a Decay for its length.
Inside, it's Strymon USA, quality PCBs, great design, you don't change a team that works!

What are the main new features compared to the previous version?

• A brand new, super-powerful 800 MHz tri-core ARM processor, capable of running 2 independent reverbs/delays at the same time, in series, parallel or split mode.
• 12 updated reverb types with completely revised and even more powerful algorithms.
• Stereo IRs (up to 10 seconds) that you can manipulate, reverse, extend infinitely.
• Stereo inputs and outputs equipped with a Class A JFET preamplifier with panning and advanced configuration
• Full MIDI support and NIXIE 2 software support for full real-time control.

The brand has completely revised all the algorithms proposed by the old models. Dozens of new parameters and new functions have been incorporated. Each type of reverb has been drastically improved to achieve a quality never seen before.
With the MX, the Californians are pushing the limits of what they themselves had brought to the top. The beauty, complexity and dynamics of the 12 onboard reverbs are remarkable and above all untouchable by the competition. It is at all levels THE Rolls Royce of reverbs as it dominates with its power, possibilities and musicality.

In the end, the Strymon BigSky MX impresses at all levels. It is THE reverb on the market. It offers: more power than necessary, an infinite number of possibilities to unleash your creativity, effects of an exceptional quality and much more.
Some will criticize the price, but they probably forgot the huge gap that separates the BigSky from the rest, the fact that you get 2 BigSky in one for 200 euros more... and that not so long ago, some brands like Eventide, TC Electronic and others, sold racks and other Rolls of the time at proportionally much higher prices that didn't shock anyone. Whether you're a geek, a sound engineer, or a simple guitarist, one thing is for sure, the BigSky MX will inspire you more than countless other pedals on the market. If that's not reason enough to break the bank?!
