A Stunning Reverb Unit

I have owned the Strymon BigSky for around two years and I have to say I’m still consistently impressed with what it’s capable of achieving. I have found editing certain presents and creating my own quite easy and there’s not much of a learning curve as there are so many great sounds here right out of the gate by going through all of the presets. But, if you’re like me and want to create your own patches, then this is where the BigSky truly soars. There are many different reverb types like Plate, Hall, Cloud, Reflections, Shimmer, etc. to choose and build from. In my own playing and what I’m looking for, I have always gravitated towards Hall reverbs and I have found that no matter what kind of tweaking I do, it sounds fantastic. I own many other reverb units like the Neunaber Immerse, Source Audio Ventris, TC Electronic Hall Of Fame, Lexicon MPX-100 (which has some great fantastic Hall reverbs) and even an old Alesis Microverb that works and sounds great. What I think the BigSky excels at is the lusher reverbs and you can get so many gorgeous sounds from this unit. Let me just say that the BigSky hasn’t left my pedalboard since I bought it and this is a rarity as I’m always changing things out. Anyway, I highly recommend the BigSky if you’re looking for amazing stereo reverbs that you can edit on the fly to your liking.
