Strymon BigSky MX - Creative Spaces

[@regaudieguillaume]

They hold back their smile, we can tell they are super excited 😅

[@ktreier]

“There’s another cool feature”, said a deadpan tone. It’s OK to express excitement in this wonderful thing you’ve created.

[@ZigbertD]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the shimmer pitch shift +2 into the feedback to continually add 2 semitones - for that "TV dream" sound - is actually building a whole tone scale.

[@jakevannoy1630]

Magneto chorus sound for the win!

[@Musicislife668]

This is my first big boy, strymon pedal. Keep up the great work strymon!

[@ZigbertD]

Magneto is the biggest sleeper algorithm in the OG BigSky. You can craft some really complex effects with a lot of character, one of my favorites to really dig into sound design.

[@migiki]

The major 2nd regenerative shimmer forming a whole-tone scale was super funky!

[@JoseyStranded]

I've been waiting for an update for Big Sky so thank you Strymon. :)

[@Aaronbray91]

The innovation with this new flagship platform gives me a lot of hope for when the Timeline will be updated. #DualDelayForDays

[@CREATEEDUCATEINSPIRE]

[@RobbieBarnby]

17:52 holy shitballs!

[@therickyrod]

Cool…need this in black 😊

[@sliceofsparta8985]

Star Trek noises!!!

[@evanredmon3877]

Someone turn the heat up, Pete looks cold.

[@mmhcreates]

Sonic Tonal Revolutionarys Yes Money Only Negative This is wonderful. Mx'licious.

[@jessejohnson8210]

Wish the Magneto mode had tap tempo

[@thepedalpress]

18:54 Very Satchy i.e., Not of this Earth, title track.

[@csg1847]

Dream sequence sound sounds at the end like Startrek Transporter beam XD

[@NickHelfrich]

Is there anyway to midi tempo sync the Magneto or non-linear effects? I have my MX on order… been delayed by FedEx… hope to get soon.

[@vincentvalnegri9663]

Is cloudburst effects are int that new Big sky ?

[@strymon]

The Ensemble engine from Cloudburst has indeed been included in the Cloud machine on BigSky MX, and it's been tweaked a bit to be even more organic due to the extra processing power available. New Harmonics and Choir engines exist for some other machines too, so it's definitely worth checking out. Hope that helps!

[@vincentvalnegri9663]

@@strymon merci beaucoup

[@ktreier]

Great pedal, ordered mine the day it came out, but there is absolutely no rapport between these two.

[@regaudieguillaume]

Is it played before or after an Iridium? THANK YOU!

[@strymon]

BigSky MX was last in chain, after Iridium :)

[@brunoravelingien6919]

@@strymon So all the sounds came straight from the Iridium? Sounded really good!

[@Andrew-K]

@@strymon Why do you usually put BigSky after Iridium? For real amps, don't people usually plug into BigSky and then the amp?

[@strymon]

@@Andrew-K Sometimes, but not always. For amps without effect loops, like an old Fender or something - yeah, you're going straight to the amp. But more modern amps will have effects loop that let you place time-based effects like reverb or delay after the preamp section of your amp. This helps to maintain clarity on these effects, especially when you're overdriving your preamp.

[@Andrew-K]

@@strymon Thanks. So, in short, either works but amp into reverb is best for clarity.

[@xwasssabix2347]

Damn, I wonder if you can use the pitch shift to kind of cheat an "Iron Lung" vibe. I love that song, but I wouldn't use a Whammy enough to justify buying one. I could definitely get more use out of this pedal, expensive though it is.

[@AlainHubert]

I'm sorry but, nothing in this video convinced me to spend $700 to replace my BigSky. I don't want a guitar synth pedal, I simply want a very high-quality reverb.

[@clayteasouth]

This is amazing! I think I’m gonna pass. To much reverb.

[@brianlespoir6287]

Way to expensive and it ain't that much better then the original. It's just like, "let's see how high we can hike the price up". Honestly, every digital pedal above 500 is not worth it, in the end it is just a guitar pedal or just an effect, software in a box, not an instrument.

[@strymon]

While I can understand some of your point of view, we have some of the most talented minds in analog circuit design in the industry, and we work HARD on the circuit side to make sure that the analog circuitry can stand up to the quality of the DSP. One of the reasons Strymon pedals sound the way they do has to do with the analog guts, not just the software coding. Adjusted for inflation, BigSky MX is only $45 more than the original was when it first came out ten years ago, and we've never raised the prices of our pedals after release. Hope that helps!
