    Despite its relatively short existence, the name Strymon already commands plenty of kudos in pedal-loving circles. Thanks to sophisticated effects such as the El Capistan, TimeLine and Flint, the Californian company has become synonymous with unparalleled attention to detail and tonal integrity -- and its latest creation, the BigSky, aims to be the pedal that is to reverb what the TimeLine is to feature-rich delay: a pro-quality stompbox that does it all.

    So happy that my 4 children gave me a $300 gift card to Sweetwater and a 10% coupon so I will have this hot little item in my hands for $140 bucks. I am 56 and this will be my first pedal other than a looper that I have ever owned. I thought, why not start with the best. This thing is straight from Heaven. I play in our church. I think the congregation will be looking for the return of Jesus when they hear these notes.

    That thing is so beautiful that when I've watched this video for the first time I almost fell on sleep and started to have reflections of my life , then I've forgot that I was looking for pedal videos on RUclips

      Thats because you had a 'turn on' before you watched the video. You goofed off.

      That is the Strymon Transport System (STS) in these pedals that no one speaks about. The folk at Strymon can't explain it technically and so they just don't mention it at all. Apparently Mr Strymon met with the aliens in about 2009 and they asked him: " What you want, mate? Anything at all, you can have it? Peace on earth, cold fusion free energy, even the cure for Cancel Culture? What do you want, just ask?" Mr Strymon smartly replied: "What do you know about guitar effects pedals?" The rest, as they say, is mystery. And if you don't believe me, just plug in to a Strymon Timeline and Big Sky and you will find half the day gone and that song idea still not recorded yet. Those bloody aliens, hate to love them!

    I love all the great tones. Perfect for anyone, especially those who can't really play, to make beautiful music. By just learning and playing a few single notes.

  • @saedemoph
    @saedemoph 9 лет назад +19

    I got it and it is truly the best reverb ever!!!

    • @cmcken1
      @cmcken1 8 лет назад

      +saedemoph You should hear TC Electronics Reverb 4000. I own one. Smoothest and most realistic reverb I have ever heard to date. You would love it and it is easy to program and use live in fact.

    • @saedemoph
      @saedemoph 8 лет назад +1

      +christopher McKenna I will hear it, although I don't like TC, I have had the 3 delays, flashback x4, alter ego x4 and triple delay and I find the sound very artificial, don't know how to explain it, too digital? But will hear the reverb you tell me, even though I don't think to change my bigsky jeje
      Cheers...

    • @cmcken1
      @cmcken1 8 лет назад

      It was the best verb out there. TC and Lexicon are thee only names that make studio reverb units that are true realism. Eventide is close behind but falls short. The 4000 is a scaled down version of the holy grail 6000 studio reverb system. It is not like thier Nova line pedals. It is very musical and superb sounding reverb algorithms. This is a studio verb. I hate all the pedals for verb as they sound fake or are limited in function.

    • @cmcken1
      @cmcken1 8 лет назад

      This is not to be confused with the Nova line of stomp pedals. This is part of the Reverb 6000 series and blows away Eventide which is sort of what the Strymon pedals sound like with the shimmer and mod circuits. I dislike the pedals as they all sound fake or tinny or too washed out or not versatile enough regarding the parameters. This unit is a studio grade piece and is on par with Lexicon studio system. I had a Lexicon as well but thought the TC was smoother and more realistic and easier to program. Again, this is not a stomp pedal system and, they are quite costly but, the tone and flexibility is unmatched in a pedal format so far.

    • @saedemoph
      @saedemoph 8 лет назад

      +christopher McKenna thanks for the explanation, I will look at it. I already saw it is a rack, right? I don't use racks right now, but maybe when moving to it, I will be able to consider the TC reverb 4000. Will see videos and reviews as well.
      Cheers...

    • @LouisMinett
      @LouisMinett 8 лет назад +4

      Not so much ambient for me more industrial but I like to dress the 'NIN' with some more 'modern' soundscapes to blend in a little prog metal.

    What's better for full on lush big reverb. RV-500 or Big Sky?

    • @guitarlegend9994
      @guitarlegend9994 6 лет назад

      I know you can achieve it on both but is the Big Sky more ment for the more exaggerated reverb, therefore making it easier to dile in a more lush full big reverb?

      Allen Barrett What's up Allen don't quote me on this but almost positive this doesn't. A great thing you could do is get some sort of recorder I use the zoom l12 even makes practicing with others easy with out anyone else hearing. Also serves as a audio interface if you really get into recording. I used that until I got a Apollo twin as a interface. Hope this helps

      @davidburke2132 5 лет назад +1

      Marcin Migacz What do you expect?!! He’s playing into an AC-15!! It’s a small valve amp (which are usually difficult to keep truly clean at volume) which is known for a breakup sound and then if I understand him correctly he’s using the BigSky into the front end, so all of the extra reverb signals are hitting the front end of the amp with what is almost certainly a boosted signal overall, driving the input. This is exactly the effect he’s aiming for... it’s a beautiful ambient soundscape (in my opinion) and a perfectly valid way of demoing the pedal.
