Instantly sold my Cloudburst and have ordered the new Strymon Bigsky MX. Will be selling my old Bigsky as soon as the new MX arrives on my doorstep. The MX will pair nicely with my Eventide H90. I have tried many reverbs but still love the sound of Strymon reverbs!
Have had the BigSky forever and recently Cloudburst. This is way cool, but very similar...worth 700 bucks after taxes? Especially if you have a few verbs? Tough call. Sounds crazy good. Hit two chords (after turning on switch) = genius
Peyote Pete rides the night He sees his past in starlight He hears a voice deep inside Leather strapping wheel burning power Moves to the shimmer and tremble Under the secret code of his duo verbs On his duo verbs His duo verbs His duo verbs His duo verbs He wants his effects back from the thieves He wants his sounds in the trembling leaves Harmonizing free from old DSPs Beyond the limits of Schroeder's dreams Rackmounts broken by pedals turn Ride the impulse, propel to Saturn On his duo verbs His duo verbs His duo verbs His duo verbs
You mean that the RV500 allowed you to run two reverbs, I would think. It most certainly doesn't allow you to run 10 second stereo impulse responses or edit the IR, have Ensemble, Choir and Harmonic engines or have Strymon sound design in it, so that comparison is missing a bit of detail maybe? The RV500 is a fun unit, no doubt, but it is not the same thing as BigSky MX.
Huh…my initial reaction is this price point might hurt them….kinda like eventide’s H2 has kinda made them invisible…strymon does need better ways to hook up midi….my major complaint.
Not sure what "better ways to hook up MIDI" there are? BigSky MX has no less than THREE different MIDI connection types, in traditional DIN MIDI, TRS MIDI and MIDI over USB-C. What is it that you feel is missing?
