Strymon, renowned for its premium effects pedals, has redefined the pinnacle of reverb with the launch of the BigSky MX. This powerhouse pedal harnesses unprecedented computing power, meticulous design, and sonic innovation to deliver breathtakingly rich and complex reverbs that are bound to inspire endless creativity.
Strymon Unveils BigSky MX: Neural Fine-Tuning for Unparalleled Realism
The BigSky MX is equipped with a state-of-the-art 800 MHz ARM processor dedicated solely to crafting stunning reverbs. Strymon’s new reverb algorithms combine meticulous hand-tuning with cutting-edge gradient descent optimization, a technique borrowed from the AI revolution. The result? Reverb effects so realistic you can practically sense the physical spaces, from dripping springs to opulent concert halls.
Dual Reverb Engines for Epic Sound Sculpting
BigSky MX pushes sonic boundaries by allowing you to use two reverbs simultaneously. Seamlessly switch between reverb engines with a single button press, and easily visualize your choice of series, parallel, or split audio routing. For even more dynamic control, you can use a footswitch to control each reverb’s on/off state.
New Algorithms, Enhanced Classics, and Impulse Response Magic
The BigSky MX boasts seven brand-new reverb algorithms, plus significant enhancements to the classic BigSky algorithms. New additions like Impulse and Chamber are built from the ground up for the MX, while staples like Spring, Plate, and Hall boast new algorithms alongside their original voices. The Impulse engine allows you to load any compatible audio file, turning the MX into a hyper-realistic convolution reverb with infinite experimentation potential.
