The Strymon Big Sky MX Dual Engine Multi Reverb sets a new standard with its pioneering dual-engine architecture. This feature enables musicians to layer and blend two distinct reverb algorithms simultaneously, offering an expansive range of ambient possibilities. Whether you're merging the warm tones of a Spring reverb with the vast expanse of a Hall, or pairing a Plate with a modulated Shimmer, the dual-engine design invites you to explore uncharted sonic territories. It's an open canvas for creating complex, rich textures that are limited only by your imagination.
Advanced sound shaping
With the introduction of seven new algorithms and enhancements to the revered Big Sky classics, the Big Sky MX delivers an auditory experience that's both innovative and familiar. The meticulous design of algorithms like Impulse and Chamber captures the nuances of real acoustic environments, while the updated Chorale algorithm adds an ethereal choir to your reverb for majestic soundscapes. Each setting is finely tunable, providing musicians with precise control to shape the reverb's character, decay, and diffusion, ensuring every note you play is enveloped in a perfectly tailored reverberant field.
Intuitive connectivity
Integration and future-proofing are at the heart of the Big Sky MX's design philosophy. A USB-C port affords effortless firmware updates and patch management through Strymon's free Nixie 2 editor, guaranteeing your unit stays at the cutting edge of digital sound processing. The inclusion of MIDI I/O opens up a world of synchronization with other MIDI-capable devices, while expression pedal and MultiSwitch inputs offer real-time tactile control over the unit's vast parameters. This level of connectivity transforms the Big Sky MX into a central hub for creative expression and technical control within any setup.
Zero-latency analog dry path
The Big Sky MX prides itself on an analog dry path that guarantees a zero-latency experience, ensuring that your original signal remains pure, unaltered, and immediate. This is crucial for musicians who demand the highest fidelity and clarity from their instrument, as it ensures that the dry signal is never converted to digital, thus preventing any lag or signal degradation. It's an indispensable feature for live performers and studio engineers alike who require the most responsive and transparent sound quality from their reverb unit.
