Strymon BigSky MX - Overview

In this video BigSky MX designers Dean Miller and Pete Celi dive into the exciting depths of BigSky MX, demonstrating the pedal's capabilities and sharing the thoughts behind its design.

BigSky MX packs a remarkable amount of premium features into a single pedal: Seven brand-new next generation reverb algorithms plus significant enhancements to classic algorithms. Two reverbs at once. 10-second fully editable high resolution stereo impulse responses. Stereo input and output with adjustable output panning. You also get a dedicated infinite footswitch for creating lush pads to play over, a sharp bright OLED display, DIN MIDI I/O, USB-C, expression pedal and more, all in a robust, easy to use, elegant pedal.

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

[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!

[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.

[edwardebel]

Solid presentation. No filler or wasted space. Thanks!

[allanmakela]

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

[gregdavis]

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

[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! 👍

[tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

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

[HollywoodRareGuitars]

Looking forward to making a lot of videos of this!

[roih]

Very nice Dean Miller, great playing!!!

[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.

[masterofreality]

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

[baseboardmatt]

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

[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.

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.

[keithrobichaux]

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

[JTB--]

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

[brejnae]

When are the Timeline MX and Mobius MX coming out?
