Strymon Big Sky MX Dual Engine Multi Reverb – flagship stereo reverb pedal featuring a dual-engine design, 12 premium algorithms, zero-latency analog dry path, and extensive MIDI/USB-C connectivity for advanced real-time control.
The Big Sky MX redefines reverb processing with its dual-engine architecture, allowing two independent algorithms to run simultaneously. Whether layering Spring and Hall reverbs or blending Shimmer with Plate, this setup enables immersive, evolving soundscapes. With seven all-new reverb types including Impulse, Chamber, and the hauntingly beautiful updated Chorale, the MX offers unprecedented creative flexibility.
Connectivity is top-tier: USB-C provides seamless firmware updates and integration with the Nixie 2 editor, while full MIDI I/O, Expression, and MultiSwitch inputs ensure deep control. The analog dry path guarantees zero-latency, maintaining uncompromised signal fidelity – a critical feature for professional live and studio performance. Dual 800MHz ARM processors provide immense DSP power, allowing ultra-high-definition 24-bit/96kHz processing with a 116 dB SNR. With Big Sky MX, Strymon sets a new benchmark for premium stereo reverb units.
