Strymon BigSky Reverb - Peter Dyer - synth demo

[@vaspers]

Wow. An effects pedal demo using a synthesizer. Very rare and much needed. Thanks. Everybody raves about this Big Sky Reverb.

[@strymon]

+Steven Streight Thanks so much. We have quite a few synth players over here, so makes us happy to be able to provide these videos.

[@jellyandskeleton]

Its so nice to see someone actually play the synths while displaying what the pedal can achieve, instead of endlessly rambling about what is technically happening and pressing a few random keys.

[@orarinnsveinsson4083]

You must be kidding. This guy doesn't now shit how to use these fantastic pedals. This is complete joke to me. But Strymon are fantastic pedals if used in right way.

[@karlcountry2363]

Þórarinn Sveinsson please post a video showing your skills. Thx

[@fortheloveofnoise]

I like rambling though.

[@josephwright5921]

I don’t mind a little rambling, but can’t stand when someone punches up one arpeggiation on a synth and lets it run for 20 minutes.

[@midnightsocean2689]

I know right! : )

[@nathancoleman7921]

Matt Damon, you are amazing...this pedal is crazy. Imagine this with a chorus pedal too. Oh my sweet Jesus...I'm blown away.

[@lvd357]

I'm so in love with this promotional video.. lol. I regularly come back and watch what he did with the Pedal. I want to sound like that. And just the fact that there is no talking, just explained settings and music.. Thank you for doing it this way!

[@strymon]

Thank you :) Peter Dyer is super talented!

[@djshiva]

Thank you! I really love demos with synths and not just guitars, since that's what I use effects for. Also, Peter's playing is really fantastic. :)

[@strymon]

+djshiva We completely agree about Peter :) Thank you so much, glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

[@TheNAPSince2005]

Strymon BigSky makes all synthesizers to the best.

[@JoshuaRFox]

4:45 is where it's at. Sells not only the Big Sky to me, but the Nord, too.

[@lunde2000]

is that a song? the one on 4:45

[@passengerseed]

Sounds like Radiohead - In Limbo

[@lunde2000]

RowdyRestlessRaven Thanks!! Sounds Great

[@passengerseed]

he's not actually playing the song, bit it sounds a bit similar ! c:

[@lunde2000]

RowdyRestlessRaven Yeah i figured :P

[@ld8341]

Sequential Prophet 12 from 0:01 Nord (?) from 1:10 Korg Volca Keys from: 5:10 Arturia Microbrute from: 6:53 Therevox ET 4.3 from 8:25

[@RCAvhstape]

I love people who post time stamps, thanks!

[@RhombusLabs]

Always happy to see more demos with keyboards. That Prophet 12 sounds awesome.

[@Timecop1983]

Thanks for sharing this, now i need one!

[@theclaverman]

This pedal is definately added to my next-to-buy-list. I think it’s one of the lushest reverb-pedal ever made. The Strymon seems to bring any sound into a completely another dimension/world.

[@twiglet2214]

I've been listening to reviews mainly with guitar but as a keyboard/synth player this demo has helped me to make a decision to get one and the quality of playing is fantastic - inspirational ! Thank you.

[@hatch707]

OH MAN I CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE OF THESE. The trails between presets, ease of changing presets, the list goes on. People who hate on this pedal should take a production course and learn how to use reverb. This thing is so freaking amazing, any bad tones are down purely down to user error.

[@mountainshapes2064]

On my list. Such an amazing box.

[@LukeWatts85]

I had never seen or heard a Theravox before. My life has changed...I need one!

[@davedeanovic2908]

Me too. Going to look it up right now

[@GROENAASMusic]

4:41! BEST! I love it. I love rhodes!

[@kevinhagenlocher3050]

What's the name of this song again?

[@GROENAASMusic]

Kevin Hagenlocher No idea.

[@efloop]

JarAxe 👓 Radiohead - In limbo

[@GROENAASMusic]

amerattila Not spesifically that song, but it is very inspired by the rhodes-part of it.

[@josemurcia9315]

Oh man! What a difference it makes to be an amazing musician, playing some of the most fantastic electronic keyboards ever through this AWESOME reverb. I'm sold. Thanks SO much for posting this.

[@didgegirl6]

Thank you. This was a very helpful demo. I especially thank you for putting the specific parameter settings you used across the bottom of the screen. Really well done.

[@kibijit]

I've had this pedal for nearly a year now, and I'm certain I've only scratched the surface of it. Huge sound, and a lot to play with. Shame there's only 24 hours in a day!

[@strymon]

***** So glad to hear that :) Thanks so much.

[@jonaseggen2230]

Wow, that Therevox. I think I just fell in love.

[@Digiphex]

Strymon should partner with Dave Smith to put some real effects on the next product he comes out with.

[@jamacare]

That's brilliant!

[@ogsamosa]

+1000!! Both companies use Sharc DSP processing I would be soo keen.

[@manuvre7999]

Yep, I bought a BigSky for my P06. A slightly expensive luxury. 😀 It's good, but the P06 effects aren't that bad either. But after listening to this superb demo, I think I should tweak a few more of my presets. To suit performance with a P06 synth. Also, I just fell in love with your Deco Mr and Mrs Strymon, by the way. It overloaded my DSi Tempest when used as an insert. But when used on my send channels, well that is sumptuous compression and superior stereo spacing in one! And now I have to ration the amount each synth or drum machine receives, before my mix is completely soaked in that believable analog goodness. 🤓

[@alternativeinquirer8438]

dunno i really think the dsi gear is overpriced and sub par given what else is available.

[@heiqqmtb6092]

I'd like to hear what is that your comparing the DSI to? Yes there are other ones out there that can do more stuff and are maybe even cheaper but I wouldn't call DSI sub par.

[@Danielblco0]

Where can I buy that? You know what I mean... The talent.

[@lbat5276]

Great video on so many levels

[@GlossyHooks]

This video together with this amazing sound is completely hypnotic. My Circuit ships with - what I thought initially - awesome delay effects but this is a whole other wth-did-this-amazing-sound-come-from level. Would love to see a performance combining the bigsky and deco.

[@strymon]

+Glossy Hooks Thanks so much and thanks for the suggestion. I'll pass that along to the team for a future video consideration :D

[@SeanMarsh]

This is so fucking awesome.

[@analogsynthplayer]

@7:15 Pink Floyd. Best reverb pedal Ever. Endless amount of creative possibilities

[@scose]

love that murky jazz piano sound at 1:45!

[@jacksprat3009]

Has the old time, "remember when..." vibe. Love it when a musician can bring up a time gone by or coming in from the future.

[@strymon]

@Robin Fitton - That is actually the tweed road case for Peter's Therevox ET-4.3. We though it looked cool so we used it in the video to place the BigSky. :)

Fantastic demo of a fantastic reverb unit!!!! Amazing sound!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!!!!

[@TweezerBleezer123]

Im absolutely certain that these pedals have inspired me in a way that i never thought a machine could. You're not only buying a pedal, you're buying more creativity and possibilities with these pedals. Thank you strymon,

[@strymon]

Paul Castelluzzo Thank you so much! Love your playing style. Please tag us in any videos you post while using Strymon. Enjoyed checking out the videos you have now, they are lovely :)

[@midnightsocean2689]

in the first half of this vid, I actually really like how far away the player is from the big sky. It shows how well this pedal dose in a situation where you select a preset and just play your flippin instrument. It's a realistic display of it's common real world use IMO.

[@sclera7]

Cool sound.

[@Danksta02]

This video put it over the top for me. Props to #Strymon for killer marketing materials and social media presence. Went out and bought my very own BigSky today at Gelb Music in Redwood City, Ca. Going to create an external FX loop from my audio interface so I can run my analog gear, drum tracks, and guitars through it. Can't wait to see what sounds I can create with it!

[@strymon]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. Please share if you post any vids or songs, would love to hear what you create with your new BigSky :D

[@JasonChamberlain]

By the grace of-... The second patch was amazing. Chills everywhere.

[@ryanspencerlauderdale687]

I love the Cloud sounds with the Prophet 12. So electric!

[@frankpalomacity]

big sky will stay in the history of music,one of the best device ever made!!great job strymon!

[@strymon]

+MANTRA 5 Thank you so much! Always love seeing/listening to your great videos.

[@griffgoldsteinreference]

Gotta get my hands on one of these! Would go wonderfully with my synth collection honestly!

[@arturor5205]

Those big strings... very cinematic and wonderful!

[@andrewscanlan9151]

This sounds lovely

[@mclekrell]

What a beast that Prophet 12 is.

[@localtrust]

gorgeous. I love the way he plays. FX sound great

[@hang-sangitch]

wow what a beautiful reverb sound

[@SuburbanBehemoth]

I love tinkering with gear, and I can respect other musicians who love to mess around with gear the same way.

[@johnnyapostal]

That cloud reverb is amazing

[@in_10z]

Wow....thank you for this gorgeous demo.

[@gsexton89]

What he did at 8:09 with the attack and release to simulate sidechain compression just blew my mind.

[@wavelengthrecords-1]

ikr?

[@oscarwest8395]

Amazing !..I am convinced that this pedal will do the same with my old Yamaha keyboard..lol. :-) Thanks for this video ! .:-)

[@AyumiDJ]

Best reverb ever OH MY GOD

[@horizonearthambient]

the bloom reverb he plays at the start is incredible. I bought this pedal not so long ago and intend to use it for my music :D

[@PUNKROCKSTHEBEST]

Absolutely amazing

[@sebastiendiserens6055]

Beautiful reverb. I start saving money now!

[@MrLawrence0071]

Say what you wanna say, but this reverb is among the very best in the world.. Astonishing

[@kuehling83]

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again, for a video with ALL PLAY AND NO F----ING TALK!!!! Bravo Strymon guys :D Great sounding unit!

[@strymon]

+Jonathan K Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it :D

[@cartesiaLive]

God damnit Strymon. I just spent over 2K on new gear, when I really shouldn't have. Now you're making me try to justify another $500.... so lush.

[@austindize]

research before you buy

[@cartesiaLive]

no I didn't mean I wasted it.. I mean I really shouldve spent my money on responsible life kinda things like bills and such

[@VardiMC]

cartesiaLive gear can perfectly help pay bills if you take music as a career rather than a hobby. you don't really need it because digital audio counterparts are good enough for most people, but my point still stands.

[@bentyreman5769]

sounds great, I love the sound of the magneto reverb, probably my favourite

[@alexkairis3927]

When I grow up, I want a Big Sky. Best damned reverb I ever heard.

[@tripppayne8777]

Really a well done video. Not only considering that reverb but also that Prophet 12.

[@andrewportman6028]

8:27 That's the best sounding musical mosquito I've ever heard!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

this is called heaven

[@hang-sangitch]

I'm seriously diggin the sound at 3.00 WOW

[@adomarc]

great synth choices to demo with the bigsky

[@urbannpa]

Thanks for the demo on the brute!

[@urbannpa]

Problem is I brought a Visual Sound Dual Tap Delay.(it was cheaper)

[@garethbinks8804]

This is THE demo that sold so many big sky's! Including mine! One product that's as good as the demo suggests!

[@strymon]

So glad that you liked Peter's performance and the sounds that were created. Please tag us if you post any videos with your BigSky would love to hear them :D

[@seth4766]

maaaan that 2nd Brute patch is so nice! I need to try and figure that one out.... never got my Minibrute to sound like that

[@coldwar1977]

[@1BorisRoss]

Wow great demo ! I need this reverb :)

[@marshallwhite5898]

Mind blowing demo!

[@clarabianca2678]

Love this demos

[@dubwise]

I bought this pedal based solely on this demo video. Great work showcasing the pedal's wide range of effects.

[@strymon]

Thanks! We are super lucky that Peter Dyer was up for demoing :)

is this device made of unicorn tears? sooo.......beautiful........

[@strymon]

We promise no unicorns were harmed in the making of this :D

[@ceardarrow7241]

No it is not made from Unicorn Tears. It is made from Sea Horse Dreams.

[@mrblablablabla]

@@strymon tears of joy then?

[@Glenfiddich101]

I've always had a hot spot for Nord keyboards :-) but when you linked that little Korg Volca Keys with the Strymon, it nearly blew me away :-o bloody 'ell mate that was brilliant :-) I've just subscribed to you channel........thank you for the demo :-) . Glen :-)

[@strymon]

+Glenfiddich101 Thanks so much! Peter is very talented. Highly recommend checking out his band The Grand Scheme.

[@JohnLRice]

Great synths, playing and effects. 3 times the love! :-)

[@MadelnMachines]

Epic. What an awesome player!

[@Brookshook101]

0:50 beautiful sound The Bloom

[@NoTechHacker]

Still wish I had the Prophet 12 patch he used for that. Love it.

[@bananepoep]

the best reverb i ever heard! Great

[@SoWhat.BigDeal.]

Holy crap!! That doodlewanger he uses at about the 9 minute mark lets you play slide on keyboards! I've never seen that before...what a fantastic idea. Beeeyutiful!!!

[@pianist007]

Great unit !! The quality of sound qualifies it to be something more than just a stomp pedal, if you add USB it could it be integrated with a computer based DAW for recording ? I need to use it with my pro tools

[@strymon]

I'm glad that you enjoy the BigSky reverb pedal! If you have an audio interface, you can connect the outputs of the BigSky to the interface for direct recording. Or, you can use a MIDI interface from the computer to control the pedal via MIDI.

[@leandroaguilera3598]

I can't stop listening this

[@sandyturner1911]

I can't decide between the Night Sky and the Big Sky, now. This looks easier to use. Awesome!

[@Terinigan]

Truly inspiring video, great job and great box!

[@strymon]

Thanks so much! :D

As a Guitar Player - that is sometimes asked to play Synth parts - The Big Sky is Incredible. It blurs-the-line between Reverb Pedal and Synth Module ( with the additional effects I am combining ).
