Strymon BigSky MX - Overview

[@SweetcornTA]

Not only did the guy create it but I think he’s demoing better than anyone else. Nice work!

[@mohitrahaman]

He desineth, he playeth, he proveth they're the best in the game.

[@regaudieguillaume]

Oh wow, the creator is an excellent guitar player!

[@alexanderjosephross]

Home run again gentlemen congratulations 🫡

[@LeonTodd]

Pete is awesome but it was great to hear Dean in this video. Tools for musicians by musicians!

[@edwardebel1847]

Solid presentation. No filler or wasted space. Thanks!

[@allanmakela3011]

Don,t watch dozens of EFX spotlights,but with Strymon,that changed after getting the Volante,leading edge,yet natural sounding,love their stuff

[@dogwalk3]

volante is 🤍

[@asynchronicity]

This is very cool but it mostly gets me excited about what the Timeline MX and the Mobius MX are going to be like.

[@Piplodocus]

Congrats everyone at Strymon. The current BS has been around a long while so I figured it would be getting an update sooner or later. But I currently have no real desire to replace my original BS as it's still great, but this is a worthy update and will no doubt get this MX one at some point in the future. Well described features demo too for a short video. I see there are deep-dives videos you released too, so the geeky among us can go explore the MX modes in depth! 👍

[@gregdavis9376]

You guys KILLED it!!! Sounds AMAZING!!!

[@marcusstrymon693]

The true stereo is a gamechanger

[@roih2658]

Very nice Dean Miller, great playing!!!

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

Awesome.... can't wait to try it out.

[@masterofreality230]

Looks awesome. Please do a Deco MX next so we can add more repeats and control more modulation parameters.

[@illegal_space_alien]

They just made a v2. Doubtful they would already be planning a v3. That said, it would be interesting to see a Volante-size box with all of the "old" features on it, like a combo Deco and Flint. I would say somehow incorporate a Lex circuit (just the mod, not the drive) as well, but that would be one crowded circuit board. With how popular the Deco and Flint are, it would probably sell well. Call it the Encino or something, going with both the SoCal reference and the caveman (old) reference.

[@JaneThorson-dm3ev]

Make a multi effects pedal please.

[@BrockDavisson]

3:29 why is it so hard to get an answer from someone at Strymon on how many IR's the pedal can hold? No one seems to know and I've been asking support and on instagram and facebook etc.. Never no answer!

[@georgejetson1923]

Less is not more with these guys 😁

[@gregmize01]

awe yeah!

[@HollywoodRareGuitars]

Looking forward to making a lot of videos of this!

[@JTB--]

The MX seems much easier to understand and user friendly than the OG BigSky. The MX screen looks nice too

[@unitedstatesofmordor]

Was gearing up to get a BigSky (finally), but I think I may hold out a bit and put this on my Christmas list.

[@Jedidiahguitar]

6:39 that’s something I’ve always struggled with using other reverbs outside of Strymon!! As far as I’m aware every other brand of reverb (and I’ve owned a lot) have refractions that resonate more or less depending on what notes are played. Making it an unbalanced sound.

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

yup !! will definitely get this !!!!

[@brejnae]

When are the Timeline MX and Mobius MX coming out?

[@asynchronicity]

Hopefully soon

[@SeanGamesandStuffTV]

Were you guys cold when you shot this?

[@strymon]

🥶🥶🥶

[@illegal_space_alien]

LOL, I saw Pete with the beanie and instantly figured he was tired of hearing yet another round of Breaking Bad jokes.

[@baseboardmatt]

Im sure Timeline is next in line, but I’m hoping they give this large form treatment to Iridium too!

[@illegal_space_alien]

Speaking of which, I'm surprised they kept with this same box style, and didn't migrate to the new big box style like the Volante and NightSky? If a big box Iridium is ever made, hopefully it will be in the new-style box.

[@ppilasiewiczz]

would be great TimeLine is my favorite pedal ever, bought 10 years ago, still inspiring.

[@live2shredguy]

Can the Timeline MX have 4 stereo inputs and outputs, wet/dry compatibility, pre/post routing, the ability to change the phase of each delay and also using being able to use two delay engines at the same time with tap tempo in sync?

[@ezraestrada4992]

Timeline is coming next this year as well?

[@strymon]

We can't discuss upcoming releases, but stay tuned, we definitely have a few more things up our sleeve for this year!

[@metricdeep8856]

[@robertj1303]

Catching up with my old Lexicon MX200 😂

[@ezraestrada4992]

@@strymon We will wait patiently then.

Is there any way that I can use the right switch to turn on the “C” sound, or does it work only as freeze fuction? On my old Big Sky I use all the three switches and it would be a shame to lose one. This one sounds incredible anyway.

[@egorshamanin]

Amazing!

[@keithrobichaux]

What’s time delay from analog in to analog out? Basically dsp delay to go thru pedal.

[@MisterKimPH]

I have a Cloudburst, but am considering buying the Big Sky MX if the Cloudburst sounds are in it. Could someone from Strymon tell me this?

[@SteelNight7]

An improved cloudburst algorithm is in it.

[@vonbrach]

Does the new Big sky have "ghosts" as a preset?

[@adhaskym.a9536]

I imagine there are 2 or 3 mafia hitmen pointing guns at them. That is how they talk.

[@Samana009]

The price is Big Sky also...

[@stockholm1752]

Would it be presumptuous of me to assume a new TimeLine is about to drop?

[@marcusstrymon693]

tbh, mobius would urgently need an overhaul, there is so much more potential in there. Especially in the vibe, chorus and pitch mod department strymon has some catch up to do

[@XPJV]

Is there rate control for the modulation?

[@strymon]

Thanks for this question and sorry for the late reply. There is not a dedicated modulation rate control, but rate is sometimes affected when turning up the Mod knob, depending on which reverb machine is selected. For instance, with the MX Shimmer voice, turning clockwise from minimum, depth increases up to about noon on the dial, then as you continue clockwise it starts turning up the rate and turning down the depth. Also several of the new MX voices use multiple modulation rates (each reflection modulating at a slightly different rate) so that a single rate is difficult to pick out, in the interest of a natural sound. Hope that helps!

[@XPJV]

That's exactly what I want. There are only 2 choices out there right now, Tasty Chips which doesn't do MIDI and Poly Verbs which can only load 8 user IRs.

Did they really take away the C button.......I HATE switching banks on this thing

[@FakeGlasses]

You still bank up the same way, it just has two patches selectable per bank. I like the change.

[@M0M...]

@@FakeGlasses but how many people actually asked for a dedicated freeze button??? Like I feel like that’s a slim minority. At least give us an options to change it back to a standard C button

I'm sorry but, I've yet to hear a spring reverb software emulation that comes even close to a real spring reverb. They're all flawed somehow.

Why didn't they call it "Sky High" ?

Load the plugin 2 times and you have dual reverb 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

It's not a plugin?

I know but if you load the plugin 2 times you have dual reverb or do i see someting wrong @strymon

[@veerchasm1]

When your reverb pedal cost more than your guitar and amp

[@illegal_space_alien]

Get another amp then. If you buy this and run it in mono, wtf is wrong with you???

[@evanredmon3877]

Pete is the worst sales guy I've ever seen. He's only managed to sell me three pedals that I didn't really need. Well, now four, I guess. Still, not impressed. 😕

[@Michael-bm8hi]

Have huge respect for all the work and diligence that certainly has gone into this. However this will not find its way into my studio. Reason is the myriad of options. In the end it requires a lot of „dead knowledge“ and time to drive this box up to its potential. Prefer investing that amount of time into the strings of each of my guitars.

[@Atamanesh]

Парни, с вами разориться можно 😂

[@alexandruv]

Overpriced to bits. Do these guys even know what today's economy is like? Not everyone is a lawyer or a doctor and those pedals probably cost peanuts to build. It's all digital

[@G5Hohn]

You think the knowledge and programming skill have no value, that it’s just the cost of the hardware? Then I suppose brain surgery and vegetable slicing are equally valuable because they can both be done with cheap tools? Maybe we aren’t the target demographic, that’s OK. They will sell a ton of these.

[@RPMusicStudios]

It’s a computer. It’s ADDA. It’s OLED. The I/O . The R&D. The quality. Just because something has digital chips doesn’t make it cheaper or less valuable.
