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. Cloud Reverb – Cloud is a gorgeously big, ambient reverb that draws from techniques developed in the late 70s. Chorale Reverb – A vocal choir accompanies your music. Choose vowel ranges and intensities to customize your choir. Shimmer Reverb – Two tunable voices add pitch-shifted tones to the reverberated signal for resplendent, unearthly ambience. Magneto Reverb – The Magneto machine sets up a multi-head echo with all heads on. Nonlinear Reverb – A variety of physics-defying reverb shapes are available for special effects and unique textures in the Nonlinear machine. Reflections Reverb – The Reflections machine is a psychoacoustically accurate small-space reverb that allows you to move your amp anywhere in the room. Bloom Reverb – The Bloom reverb features a 'bloom generating' section that feeds into a traditional reverb tank. Swell Reverb – The Swell machine brings in the reverb gradually behind the dry signal for subtle, evolving textures, like having a volume pedal on the wet signal. Spring Reverb – The Spring machine allows for complete customization from warm and mellow to splashy and dripping with a selectable number of springs. Plate Reverb – The Plate machine is a rich, fast-building reverb that creates depth without early reflection cues to a specific environment. Hall Reverb – Diffused reflections and slower-building density are the hallmarks of this beautiful and versatile reverb. Room Reverb – A versatile room algorithm creates environments ranging from well-tuned studio ambience to larger night club acoustics. Simple yet powerful controls Strymon went to extraordinarily lengths to craft BigSky to empower your creativity without getting in the way of it. They 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, on the Magento and Nonlinear machines, decay time. Cab filter There are occasionally times as guitarists when we don't use guitar amplifiers: using a full-range PA system, recording direct or using headphones. Because reverb pedals are usually placed last in your effects chain, Strymon felt that BigSky could provide more utility for these situations. Just turn on the selectable cab filter to engage a 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. Easily bring your most used menu parameters to the front panel and 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 as you switch from one preset to another. 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 Strymon Librarian software.
