They should offer the plug-in at a discounted rate if you already own the hardware.

[@MurdaMetz]

😂 I would be happy to pay full price , I’ve been wanting this to happen for 6 years ! No more running the bigsky with the radial extc and having to compensate for latency lol .

[@brianbjur4796]

LOL the buyer’s remorse is palpable

[@romichjordan]

I think they should give it fo free if u have a hardware😅

[@d2vmusic]

@@romichjordan I'm all for that! 😊

[@MurdaMetz]

@@romichjordan eventide makes pedals and plug ins , and they don’t offer free anything . I actually just purchased the black hole plug in on sale for 29$ , but I’d still like to own the hardware lol , I’m a reverb junky haha .

[@ChrisCadenhead]

CONGRATS GUYS!! This will forever be a great moment in time. I suspect the other line of products may be coming in the future haha. Cheers to all

[@erikjohnson2976]

FINALLY! I hope that this is just the start of an entire suite of their pedals catalog. I'm ready to throw money at Strymon for the complete suite. Bring it on! Big Sky has been my favorite pedal, hands down, for about the past seven years. This elevates Big Sky to another level.

[@theaudioeng]

+1 there Erik, defo need their back catalogue of HW pedal FX to be ported to VSTI'S

[@ryanperrault8174]

I was always wondering if this would happen.

[@ericfreeman9728]

They can have my next paycheck if i can have those pedals digitally.

[@raffaelesantabarbara1449]

I had many reverb hardware as well as plugins, the big sky plugin is by far my favorite! People complaining about the price have no idea how good this thing is!

[@MarkKirbyMusic]

Excited for this! Edit- I just watched the whole video and wow, it’s impressive. Love the interface. Nice work, Pete!

[@danaproducer]

Absolutely incredible! I love the BigSky plugin, and this is such a wonderful video intro!! Plus, that talented handsome devil, Sean Halley, is just the best. Congrats and THANKS for the awesome tools, Strymon fam! 💙🙌🌤

I've been waiting for this for a decade. So stoked

[@RockwellDulcimer]

Love this demo!! I will be on this one asap. Thanks!!!!

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Incredible! This is an easy decision. Thanks Strymon.

[@VictorCaoCA]

I would get this if there were a discounted price for existing Strymon BigSky customers. The convenience is nice, but I can't justify the additional cost. I think there is a market for people who would want to have both.

[@hydrogxn]

Get all valhalla reverbs/delay for the same price

[@dgnine4852]

@@hydrogxn yup

[@voidmusic549]

@@hydrogxn totally agree. Love strymon but they dropped at 199 a product with almost zero engineering as the core (algorithm) have already been developed for a 499 digital pedal. I prefer the honesty and the pricing policy (and the blog) for Valhalla. 50 bucks at plug-in, no shit, no crazy pricing with 75% discount ok Black Friday. That’s a great gtm strategy

[@ckhowes]

Outstanding! I can't wait to get my hands on this plug-in.

[@jcrenders_]

Amazing!!! Im So Excited ❤

[@GuitarML]

Sounds amazing, great job!

[@webnuts4u2]

Love my BigSky and I did figure out how to include in routing with my audio interface. Having a plugin is absolutely more convenient! When is a version of the Timeline coming?

[@LunarWolf]

I got the pedal and I will get the plugin for sure. Awesome move. Thank you.

[@LarsLentz]

This plugin creates beautiful sounds and I love it!

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

About fucking time. I was just waiting for this to happen for years! Patience really is a virtue.

[@budwrite]

I have always wanted the hardware unit but in the last few years my composing setup has been minimized to just in the box. This will be awesome!! Congrats and Thanks

[@IlianaBeilis]

This is amazing! My favorite pedal now in a plug in I can use on everything!!!

[@bharumusic]

Amazing!! Will be using this plugin for a long time 🙏🏾

[@zekebeckman]

Woooooooo!!!! So thrilled about this!!!

[@toddjbradshaw]

I'm an owner of the BigSky hardware unit ($500). I did not gripe about Strymon NOT giving existing customers a discount I should note. That would have been a nice gesture. So, I picked up the plug-in as well for further benefits. My only complaint and to me it's a major one is that Strymon is using iLok with cloud-only activation location(s) to where I cannot install the activation directly on the PC/MAC like the majority of vendors allow within that dated platform. Atleast this is the way it appears after going through the huge PITA to activate it. My PC is stationary, and I travel with my Mac so it's turn that on, turn that off hassles to get it playing nice with everything else. I respect the fact that these companies are trying to protect themselves against piracy but what good is your solution if the answer to that itself frustrates and possibly chases customers away. This will be the last one boys. Know that after what I went through today. There has to be a better way and honestly if I had known, I just would have rather just plugged the hardware in here and there because essentially that is what they are asking us to do by purchasing a USB Dongle from iLok to get around weak Wi-Fi connections and such. So plan on this plug-in costing about $250+ if you want some peace of mind. Oh the nightmares of the heavenly reverbs going off because the constant cloud connection broke. I'm a paying customer, and I do not deserve that. If I am wrong here, I stand to be corrected. Thanks.

[@RayyMusik]

Thanks for your warning. There are few music software companies with tolerable registration/authorization processes. Strymon apparently decided to torture the customer. Well, gonna stick to my real blue box or Valhalla.

[@frankymino8773]

Well I certainly turned away from purchasing the plugin primarily due to iLok. People who download plugins (illegally) never had the intention on purchasing it to begin with. So the developer would never have gained the culprit as a customer to begin with. In essence they don't lose anything. I understand developers protecting their work... though iLok just turns many legitimate customers away. The fact is they could gain much more sales by another means of activation. Especially for existing customers.

[@JakeAlstad]

awesome! my big sky is my most cherished pedal

[@Puffadelic888]

The song Cassie is singing should be published. It is awesome and beautifully sung and played

[@turunturun]

Am I the only one who also appreciates the Christmas Story leg lamp in the background? Also absolutely thrilled to be giving Strymon more of my money on this one,and I’d buy the Deco as a plug-in immediately as well.

[@joshtackett]

Apparently they have it now! Hah!

[@alejandromagana1554]

I’d just lower the price, just to compete with the existing class reverb vsts out there as Valhalla, prob 100-150 bucks as max 🤷🏻‍♂️ this is an amazing plugin btw as I can tell

[@asimnicholsmusic]

This is DOPE. Definitely a must have.

[@sKarredtoon]

Love the Major Award there in the background.🎅🏻

[@sadkebab]

This is really cool and I really wish there were other Strymon pedals made in plugin format like Deco

[@kevinbrennen6773]

This, this is how you demo something. The very fact that you took the time to add a part where you hit BYPASS so we can hear the difference was perfect!

[@LesVegasMusic]

Excellent! I need this sucker! Thank you!

[@muziksculp2r]

Sound Amazing ! I would love to see Strymon make the NighSky Plugin next 😎👍🏻 Purchased the BigSky Plugin, and I have the HW-Pedal as well.

[@termsofuniverse7251]

This is AWESOME! I'm very limited on space in my wee little studio and had to lean more on software.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

I have the hardware Strymon BigSky and absolutely love putting analogue synths through it, it’s like having a 2nd synth - and excels for ambient music in particular!

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Would you say it’s the best reverb youve tried for synths? I was about to buy a Bricasti for my synths but I’m thinking about this now.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

@@chandeleerjet5637 Yes 👍 That’s the simple answer. The longer answer is that it’s like having a 2nd synth layer: it’s so good at creating a pad-like atmosphere, even vocal/choir sounds, that it’s a fantastic combination with an analogue synth, in my case the DSI Prophet 8 (rev 1, which has no FX and can have a very bright tone). It’s by far my favourite Reverb/FX pedal. And I have had many others.

[@InnerVisions68]

@@chandeleerjet5637 Love this, and the Specular Tempus. Strymon is definitely a gold standard.

[@mortensaaugaard5795]

How did I miss this? Just found out today. This is awesome!

[@MrRIROCH]

Monstrueux 💥

[@achilleszaluar5825]

its huge! awesome...

[@kenny6105]

I hope more and more companies start taking this approach when modeling analog hardware for plugins and just making plugins in general, make something that is easy to use but expansive in options and adding on to the hardwares functionality in ways that make sense. this is a high value plugin

[@XanderEwald]

No analog hardware had to be modeled in this case, Big Sky is a digital effect processor in the first place.

[@sean_wave]

Unbelievable!!!

[@nj1255]

Finally! Been wondering when you were going to put your algorithms in a plug-in :D

[@afonsoserro6834]

wow, what a long tail, great job guys

[@djscratchdog]

I bought tails be Unfiltered audio on salel for $14.99 and it does the same thing .. lol Just another reverb

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah... I just sold my BigSky pedal, saving money guys... thank you!

[@jackmansfield9707]

I’m so hyped cuz I used to use my pedal for my keys setup live now it’s just on my mac!!!

This is indeed something totally different then the standard reverbs. The BigSky sounds amazing on my synthesizers. 😊

[@jordanprysmiki5361]

Nice work Strymon.

[@strymon]

Thank you!

[@drewniakradoslaw]

Wowwwewww! I want Strymon Mobius too! ❤❤❤

[@kontoret4155]

MUST HAVE!!!!

[@JayMatharu]

Wow 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@marcusstrymon693]

Okay, I really really dig it and very very awesome. I would get it if I did not have an outboard FX loop, where I can even play VST istruments live through all my strymons (so also nightsky and bigsky). I am gonna recommend this to all of my friends tho. Finally! I did not understand that this didnt come as the immerse plugin from neunaber seemed like a nobrainer. But a BIGSKY WITH ALL THE SOUNDS AS PLUGIN???? WHAAAAAT???? AWESOME A bit sad tho, that the outlandish all around pitch unit with multiple pitch shifty delays, glide effects and stuff didnt come. But it may come in the future hopefully.

[@chrollo7102]

life changing

[@JonathanKillstring]

They've finally done it!

[@MIxstarsOnline]

I was just going to buy the pedal a couple of days ago.. no need now about to go buy the plugin now

Please make an El Capistan plugin too!!!

[@quickstrike209]

Yessssssss 👍🤚

I have the bigsky pedal for my guitar. Came to this thinking no way you can recreate that digitally. Yeah. They can and did. Buying the soft version for my digital work.

[@lundsweden]

Wow, this is awesome! Not everyone wants the clutter of pedals, plus DAW integration just makes this a dream!

[@matthiashubler3401]

Will there be a special offer for owners of the Hardware BigSky Pedal? How Eventide has done it for the H9 !

[@MrHoogoorock]

Wow so many of you guessed right. In the box is getting bigger and now forever better.😊

[@Joel-Monterra]

I heard this thing 5 years ago - since then I produced music for roughly about the same amount of time. From this day on I knew this is the best reverb - period. Until now there is no equivalent.

[@brutallyremastered4255]

That Joe Carrell dude was brilliantly honest and humble.

[@strymon]

Joe is good people, that's all there is to it. And his mixes rock, seriously!

[@AdamsBrew78]

Please bring this to iPad/iOS! I already have Eventide and Fabfilter’s gorgeous iOS reverbs, but would buy this in an instant. I think it would take top spot as the best on the platform.

[@ThisMichaelBrown]

Wow, fantastic....now I can leave my guitar pedal board alone ;) big fan of blue sky....bet I like this too.

[@Trottelheimer]

Yay! The maestro, Pete Celi! :)

[@dandelay8377]

Rad!!

[@Kassiny]

Finally !!

[@benzakonium]

This looks amazing. But the price is a sensitive issue. The R&D on the algorithms has surely been covered by the pedal sales. When you buy a pedal you have a physical object which you can sell or trade quickly and easily and never worry about it no longer being compatible with your pedal board. Plugins can go down at any second through OS or DAW updates. If you don’t update then you’re being held hostage by a plugin - as they are always late to the party with updates and compatibility. They’re very difficult to sell and you only ever really own them with a bunch of conditions attached. There are so many great reverb plugins out there at considerably more realistic prices.

[@Yawsounds]

Let’s Goooo!

[@harrisbeatsfrankou6304]

Still need an Iridium with effects loop. Love my Riverside...Strymon Dirt is Great! Under rated. Damn I'm getting an El Capistan trading in my RE201... no headroom in the Loop... But this could be in my DAW.

[@guitarheart94]

Awesome!! Will we ever see a Brigadier v2?

[@robaire.b]

It would be wonderful if the Big Sky reverb plugin was made available for iOS as are the Eventide reverbs which I use a lot. The Night Sky would also be amazing to have as a plugin. Many do their music production on iOS using a DAW such as AUM etc rather than on Mac/Windows
