Strymon BigSky MX Reverb Workstation

Feel the mechanical tension of the Spring reverbs. Hear the floating particles of the Cloud machine. Defy the laws of physics with the Nonlinear reverbs. Unleash the multi-head reverberations of the Magneto machine. BigSky gives you twelve studio-class reverb machines, each with simple yet powerful controls.

Simple Yet Powerful Controls

We designed BigSky to empower your creativity without getting in the way of it.

We’ve hand-picked the most essential reverb controls, and tailored their range and functionality so that sounds can be created effortlessly without extended tweaking.

300 Built-In Presets

BigSky gives you the option to instantly save and recall up to 300 of your own presets.

Easily bank up or down through your presets using the front panel switches.

Give each preset its own custom name to appear on the display.

You can even select presets via an external MIDI controller.

Expression Pedal Control

Plug in an expression pedal and control any knob or combination of knobs, including parameters assigned to Param knobs, all saveable per preset.

Or plug in an external momentary Tap switch for remote control of Pre-Delay (or Decay time with the Magneto and Nonlinear machines).

Cab Filter

There are occasionally times as guitarists where we don’t use guitar amplifiers.

You might be using a full-range PA system, recording direct, or using headphones.

Because reverb pedals are usually placed last in your effects chain, we felt that BigSky could provide more utility for these situations.

Just turn on the selectable Cab Filter to engage our sophisticated speaker response curve.

Your dirt pedals will sound amp-like, and your clean guitar will have a present yet rounded response.

Assignable Knobs

Do you like to tweak some knobs more than others? BigSky gives you the ability to assign custom parameters to the two Param knobs on the front panel, all saveable per preset.

Bring your most used menu parameters to the front panel, allowing a very quick way to tweak your sound on the fly.

Infinite Sustain / Freeze

Press-and-hold your active preset footswitch to activate either Infinite Sustain or Freeze, configurable per preset.

Infinite Sustain allows your reverbs to continue infinitely, with each new note you play adding to the reverb signal.

Freeze also delivers infinite sustain, but allows you to play new notes on top of the sustain without adding to the reverb.

Spillover / Reverb Persist

Engage Spillover to allow reverb decays to “spill over” from one preset to the next.

You can also turn on Reverb Persist to allow your reverb decay trails to continue even after you hit bypass.

Extensive MIDI Support

Have a more complex rig? BigSky offers a complete MIDI implementation to connect to your MIDI gear.

Remote control any knob, parameter, or switch. Select your presets via MIDI.

Organize and back up your presets to your Mac or PC using a MIDI to USB adapter and our Librarian software
