What's your favourite BigSky more?
*Leon, the way you feel right now, running through that pedal; THAT WAS HOW IT FELT back in the day, going into a local music store and plugging into a MULTI-EFFECTS unit and basking!*
❤
That play in… 😮 I know that an Axe Fx can theoretically do this, but I still want this.
Fantastic demo as always Leon. This thing sounds so good! Looking forward to an updated Timeline😁
You and me both!
Great demo as always!
*As I listen to it, they really have captures the ESSENSE of how those Rack Modules from the 80's and 90's use to sound when you flipped through the presets. I MEAN THEY NAILED THAT ESSENCE!*
Glorious indeed! Alll the sauce!
You are a damn good player.
He plays the same riff in every video, one trick pony.
Much appreciated mate!
@@veronatragedy7016....
retard alert ....ya, he just wiggles his fingers and fake sound comes out... lol 😂
Get ready for all the jealous responses from guitar hackers. Leon is certainly great player
LT delivers the goods every time killer video 🤟🏻
Sweet Tones and nice licks there Bro!
I don't need it... but I want it.
Killer pedal, killer video! ❤
AUD$1250 is insane
Awesome review and demo. You showcase gear in a very unique way 🙂
Thought of this in your rig when I was doing this ;)
@@LeonTodd Scrambling around the room looking for things to sell 😉 You had me at the MEGA preset!
Woohoo , Strymon already had the best reverbs (from what I've noticed) and they just made the ultimate reverb pedal, pretty cool.
10:57 yes please!!
Will they update the plugin with these new features and reverbs? I hope so with what it cost. I loved it and had to buy it. Use it in my daw everyday. I just hope they will provide updates like this to the plugin for all the people who have bought the super pricey plugin.
Big Sky Big Tiddy version!! Double reverbs!!!!
As always, I enjoy your demos, chock full of great playing and concise tutelage. The MX arrived with perfect timing. Like many guitarists, I've unloaded too many reverbs to list and have been recently oogling a few contender replacements -- Meris Mercury X, Boss RV 500, Strymon NightSky -- but just could not commit for fear of just flipping whichever won. (I was even considering putting together a Eurorack for the StarLab.) Anywho... perfect timing. And by golly, it sounds super swell. And yes please: IRs plus other 'verbs 👍
Just gorgeous.
Just got the BigSky MX after watching your review, sounds so big!
Any chance to share your preset parameter on the opening? ("MEGA" preset), I somewhat followed how your created it in the video but didn't get the parameters right yet.
Love your channel and your playing. You use pedals with some actual gain and riffs! How do you like this compared to the verbs on the H90?
Hahaha cheers mate, gotta have some gain in there! They've both got some amazing verbs but the Ensemble mode and shimmer on this are pretty special
Thanks, you're the best!
Man, I'd love to. I've been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and my pick hand falls asleep while holding a pick for 3 0 seconds.
Love watching you play!
Ive been going back and forth on getting the cloud burst or the blue sky I guess this solves that
Thank you for using some high gain with this reverb pedal.
My pleasure!!
more IR demo please. I had lots of fun with Space Designer in Logic with convolutions
Thoughts on the bigsky reverbs vs the fractal reverbs?
I think they're both top tier. The Strymon Ensemble is pretty unique and I love the Fractal plates and "clouds".
sounds awesome …. I have this pedal … it’s pure ambient bliss. great playing … are you running the BigSky MX through your Fractal FM9?
Yep, Fractal for the amp tones
I have the BigSky MX ... and, my new Fractal FM9 MKII Turbo shipped today! My goodness, what's the Fractal setting for that front-end "play-in" tone? ... wwwwooooozzzzzer! is that preset available? keep up the awesome videos. You are a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to keep trying to get better. Thank you! 🙂
Does anyone know if the BigSky MX will load True Stereo Quad IR files and have it correctly create the true stereo image?
Current mantra:
I have a Fractal, I don’t need this.
I have a Fractal, I don’t need this.
I have a Fractal, I don’t need this.
I have a Fractal, I don’t need this.
😂
Glorious tones Leon 👍
That Ensemble mode tho :D
Can we load in real space IRs like the ones from Poly Verbs?
This is a good all in one unit to be able to run separate reverbs before and after drive for some weird stuff, and only needing to control one unit!
Yes indeed
Is the sound at the beginning a preset and is it called mega? and in the latch mode when you play over the sound can you still have a reverb or is it a dry signal
Yes, it's a preset i created - Cloud running into Shimmer
Does this do Delay & Reverb or only Reverb? Are you using delay in the video? I hear delay.
Magneto has delay
The 480... it just gets me every time.
Nothing else like it
It’s now priced the same as Meris big box pedals (more or less) and I just don’t see the same level of control or range of sound. I like the Strymon sound but I’m not sure I’m fond of their go to market strategy. For clarification I own a cloudburst, big sky and timeline. I don’t see myself upgrading.
Exactly what I thought when I heard about this pedal. I am in the market for a reverb and I will be going with the Mercury X over this.
Meris over this all day, any day.
MERIS Mercury X is the king, everyone in the know knows this..
OMG !
Take my money!
The dual engine feature makes me want one. I like running two amps with identical reverbs. I hope strymon comes out with a true stereo version of the Volante, rather than summing the inputs.
I have the Cloudburst and other delay units
It's really cool but it's the same price as buying a Source Audio Ventris AND a Poly Verbs xD
I'd love to see a LT video on the Dynamic reverbs on the HX and Helix. Plug in the Helix Native and give us a tour on how you set those reverbs, Leon!
I'll wait to see if there's going to be a TIMELINE MX
Same here!
Kind of surprised that the Timeline MX didn't appear first!
Do you like the H90 more?
I like the rooms/halls/plates on this more. The H90 is obviously a different animal as it does pitch/delay/mod/distortion too.
Latching infinite switch for the win.
Hope they will do a Timeline update!
They’ll do a Timeline and a Mobius.
*I give it (x1) week, ORIGINAL BIG SKYS about to go on sale on REVERB & SWEETWATER GEAR EXCHANGE! .... They sure know how to get your money!*
it's a instant buy for me if they offer a Midnight Black Edition, and they get rid of the green screen, and update it to white or blue.
Yer tones a little dry in this intro m9?! Utterly glorious, telling myself I really really don't need this, but you're not helping! Hope all's well dude.
🤣
The price tag is really high, I don't get the point why to get this pedal when u can get reverb studio racks from 90's (Lexicon,Eventide,Tc,Ensoniq, Etc...) that way more realistic to actual spaces than that.
The fact that it's a pedal, can run 2 simultaneous verbs and can run off a pretty generic power supply makes it a lot more appealing to a lot of people. I love old rack stuff but size/price/reliability make it hard to justify in a lot of cases.
Different vibe / algorithms I suppose. Newer reverbs definitely have a different feel than something more metallic like the Lexicon 200 reverb. I love both personally.
Peyote Pete rides the night
He sees his past in starlight
He hears a voice deep inside
Leather strapping wheel burning power
Moves to the shimmer and tremble
Under the secret code of his duo verbs
On his duo verbs
His duo verbs
His duo verbs
His duo verbs
He wants his effects back from the thieves
He wants his sounds in the trembling leaves
Harmonizing free from old DSPs
Beyond the limits of Schroeder's dreams
Rackmounts broken by pedals turn
Ride the impulse, propel to Saturn
On his duo verbs
His duo verbs
His duo verbs
His duo verbs
:p
Ummmmm... HOLY SHIT?!?! Ok this came out of nowhere! Uhhhh..... now I gotta... oh god my wallet.. please not again...
I know you are demonstrating the pedal but your choice of how much mix you put on often gets in the way of us hearing what the real-world sound would be with a more subdued amount of reverb.
I'll do a follow up demonstrating the subtle "real" spaces
monochrome screen at that price point is sad
800 euros....lmao
Meh. I like keeping my money more. Next!
What good is money if you can't use it to get some siiiiiiick gear?
What are they taking a pathetic page out of Fenders book? OVER PRICED! JESUS!
Yeah dude, TOO MUCH distortion if it's not in the pedal. #FAIL
I grow a little tired of hearing ambient sounds on reverb demos. I am searching for more real-world band ettings on sounds like 60's/70's pop rock.
Yeah reverb pedals in particular are tricky to demo - trying to demonstrate the possibilities leads to big ambient sound, but most of the time we only need a little
UAFX Golden Reverb..great classic variations on Spring, Plate, Hall reverbs with a few different choices of each style. Physical knobs to control all the changes and really high quality realistic reverbs.
Ugly visual design compared to the original... Strymon is just a legacy company these days. They dont innovate any more
R u serious? Strymon did an UPGRADE... Not something new. Consider that. And this is such a successful upgrade!
@@XPJV this "upgrade" comes about 15 years too late. And its a hack job
To me, the overuse of effects just emphasizes the obvious lack of actual musicianship and musical concept of the player.
Well that's my excuse
Define overuse.
Nah! Shit still sounds like shit! Take Nirvana, for example.
Shoegaze players sweating bullets
Make a video, play for us? So we can see actual musicianship, obviously.
