Ed, you are right on, It is better and worth the price. Now I want to see them drop the timeline. I know it is coming. Thanks for all you do. Love you channel.
It seems like a great reverb pedal. What always concerns me with these companies though is that they can get you to pay $400-$500+ for their latest pedal but then a year or so later they come out with a new, improved version.
This thing is expensive but it also helped me knock three pedals off my board and essentially paid for itself. The impulse loading feature alone is insane!
I just got mine and it sounds great! Regular type reverbs with clarity and huge ambient harmonic washes. I haven't even tried the cab simulations and impulses yet.
I just want to figure out how to run my two multi-effects pedals into the Big Sky MX using a stereo switcher of some kind so I can play with either one without having to switch cables.
I’ve heard people complain about that screen and honestly I prefer a simpler screen interface- I had the meris LVX and while ya that screen looks way better, interacting with it never really felt natural….
I dig this guy. Was looking at potentially upgrading my reverb (RV-6) LITERALLY the day this pedal was released. Anytime I can buy a one-n'-done product im in. Just waiting for my MX to arrive
I have a Big Sky and just received my MX today and I'm totally blown away. It is really expensive and I'll be paying my card off for months but I'm glad I did it.
I just plugged mine in with my h90, and those two pedals in tandem sound so amazing. They had me playing all day! I never owned the old Big Sky, so I can't compare, but I will say it is the best sounding reverb pedal I have ever heard. Great video btw!
I run two reverbs in series regularly, which makes this unit far more appealing than the original (which I never bought). Wished they’d updated the look though - the Meris stuff looks way cooler.
I had a Strymon Flint and gave it a run for a year, sold it. Tremolo was nice, but too much for just a tremolo pedal. The only digital reverb I've kept is EHX's Ocean's 12, which is a dual reverb. Yeah, not a Strymon fanboy either.
I thought the plate setting sounded the best...yes, that was my initial take on it, space and simplicity too, I found their spring setting to be just laden with digital artifacts, which I found surprising for such a revered pedal and company.
Strymon DIG is my favorite of their pedals, and the mobius is still the best sounding multi-modulation effect pedal, even though its individual effects don’t hold up against individual best-in-class pedals for each effect. For midi pedalboard users, the ‘stryfecta’ are very solid and tourable options.

Thanks buddy!!

Ah, yes! That is the rub. That drives me crazy!
The last version of this pedal was 11 years ago.
Yes the old one had a cab sim switch on the back. Back before anyone knew what a cab sim was.
👍

Definitely!

Gotta be possible.
Electro Harmonix Tri Parallel Mixer. You're welcome

Gimme the option to make switch 3 whatever I want.. it’s just software right?
True enough.
I like that big sky I am impressed that you know how all this stuff works
I like reading manuals. 😀
Please do a demo of dual reverb turning one off and then enabling the second that intrigues me and you da man.
I put it up a day or two after this one

Not having a C button really really really sucks….
I hear that from a few people. I guess I'm in the minority that I'd rather have the dedicated infinite/freeze.
@@EdPettersen it makes me wonder if strymon can do an update where it give us the option to have a infinite or a C preset
@@M0M... Oh wow! That would be cool!!
7:50 you should make as 1 minute video demonstrating this, good tip!
Yes!
Just posted and now up.
Can’t wait to shoot out the spring in the MX vs the spring in the UA golden- to me the spring in the golden was a game changer
Dude! I love the Mx so much! It's a great pedal. Loved your video.
Thanks man!
All BigSky v1 algorithms did freeze/infinite, you just held down the A/B/C footswitch. Not a new feature.
👍

I won't argue with that!!
This is the best reverb floor unit of all time and available currently. Full stop. It’s expensive, but definitely a pro unit.
Totally agree.
Eventide H90 did double.
Strymon copied them...
Eh, I don't see it as related so much.
@@EdPettersen,
Yes, they are totally different stuff.. But I like their OLED screen. I wish that Strymon did that to their BigSky MX
@@XPJV Indeed.
Source Audio Ventris has had dual for years, long before H90 - & you can freeze one, choose which is first, parallel, series, etc
@@barefootbeardedwizardry Totally. I love the Ventris. No IR or cab option yet though.

I liked the Flint, it's a good idea to save space I suppose. The V2 was better.

@@FakeGlasses Deco was my favorite previously. That is a perfect pedal IMO. Especially V2.
It’s odd. I think they have to much of a metallic sound . ( when I tried a couple of stores. Not on my equipment)
