Strymon Big Sky MX Multi Reverb Pedal

The Strymon Big Sky MX could quite simply be the best-sounding reverb unit ever designed. You can imagine how daunting it must have been for Strymon to dramatically improve a product like the original Big Sky, as it's been a true staple on pro pedalboards for a long time. Four years of development have gone into raising the global standard of Reverb pedals, and at last, the result is the Big Sky MX that will unapologetically be THE reverb of choice.

Run anything from dual reverbs, brand new algorithms improving on Strymon's tried-and-tested reverb types, IR compatibility, and much more!

It’s like the old saying goes, “With great power comes great Reverberation”.

Stunning Looks

The Big Sky MX packs the most powerful reverb engines into a single enclosure which is stunning to look at – everyone who looks at the Big Sky MX will be instantly impressed.

The Powerful Big Sky MX Processor

It uses a tri-core 800 MHz ARM processor to achieve two reverb machines at once, with Series, Parallel or Split audio routing and new panning controls. Of the 12 reverb machines, seven are new to the Big Sky MX, and the remaining classic machines all get powerful sonic and feature upgrades.

Impulse Response Capability

The new convolution engine is capable of playing up to ten-second stereo impulse responses, along with the ability to fully edit the IR’s. Use the USB-C to update or edit these with Strymon's free Nixie 2 editor.

Preloaded IR Captures of Classic Analogue Studio Gear

22 impulses come preloaded, including a large number of custom long captures of classic analogue studio gear. Stereo I/0, DIN and TRS MIDI I/O and USB-C round out the connections, and a new OLED screen, dedicated Infinite/Freeze footswitch and multiple footswitch modes make it easier to control than ever.
