$600 is a HX Stomp, and as many others have said $680 is close to the price of many other multi-fx pedals. I gotta agree with others that Strymon is about 9 years too late on this release, even as someone who uses and likes the BigSky.
$680 USD is 60% the cost of a Fractal FM3 mk2 Turbo and 75% the cost of an Eventide H90, both of which are killer multi-effects processors with way more sounds. It feels like a price that is hard to justify for just a single effect type. Love that screen update, though.
Yep and the FM3 can do way more than this for Reverb alone because you can basically chain together layers of effects to build your own. Yes it takes some work, but way more capable.
What we’ve all been waiting for! The routing options are dope and I hope we get those same options on an updated Timeline soon! That screen with that color and font is giving me major Commodore 64 vibes 😅
The impulse response on the MX is the game changer here. The possibilities are endless if you blend it with one of the other reverbs in the MX. Awesome!
For strymon, I think the prices are out of hand now… just too expensive when there is great cheaper options out there. $680USD is wild and here in Australia, it’ll be $1100ish after our lovely import taxes. Crazy money
Nice 'In my head' instrumental! And bravo to strymon, this seems legit! Love my empress reverb, especially for the Ghost reverb... but this got me curious :D
Owned a few big sky’s over the years. But the last few years felt sound was not up to quality. Ended up staying with the MXR Reverb because in stereo the mod reverb was undefeated for hifi long trail sounds. This new strymon will remain undefeated for the next few years just like the big sky did when it came out. It’s so great to finally get rack class reverb in the pedal format.
Great job with the demo Bradford! Also love the Baritone vibes! Not sure how I feel about button C being taken over by just the Infinite feature unless it’s easy enough to navigate with just the A and B for verb tones.
It’s very cool!! I guess it’s time for me to finally replace my blue sky. lol. In addition to great sounds for playing live, I can really see using this for sound beds in recording instead of a keys based pad of some sort.
I mean…the original one is already so good, that how much of the presets on that version would you actually use, let alone this one? Not to be a debby downer, but I am a guy of simple tastes, that likes to create with simple, high quality ingredients. If it’s doing a similar thing, then I’ll be happy to save the money.
The BigSky killer, Meris Mercury X came out months ago ;). Seriously though, this new unit sounds awesome, yet I'll stick with the Mercury X for "creative" and fundamental reverb fx.
@@morneb01Fwiw...if I were in the market for only standard reverbs... easily selected via a knob ... I'd buy the BigSky MX. For me, the Mercury X wins hands down for "creative" reverbs while providing standard reverbs too. Also, as great as all Strymon pedals sound...Meris (and Chase Bliss) products just sound better to my ears. Luckily you cannot go wrong with either.
I don't think their new release will do well. I don't see why I should get it instead of the regular Big Sky, and I can't justify the high price of the pedal.

Agreed, I just picked up an eventide h90 for $720 and it has so many effects in it

Right!? Too high on the price.

The quality of the reverbs have to be off the charts with that kind of price tag.
And 99% the price of an HX Stomp.
I'd be a buyer at $499

I never thought this would happen. It feels good to be alive.
Couldn't be more excited about this!!! Thanks for being you and sharing this with us!
Thanks Devan :)

or dual reverb IR's :] Only bigsky mx and tasty chips integral in pedal format that can do that as far as I know!
Does the pedal have a feature where it turns off the law of diminishing returns?
🤣🤣
Yes, it’s an add-on pedal for an additional $300…but it has a built in tuner
@@XMechaManx 😂😂😂
Church guitarists are going nuts right now
they better send that collection basket around a couple of times!
@@samsschool3639 Lol!
The parallel thing is ABSOLUTELY something I'd use. Dope Bradford!
Yeah it’s a sick option!

Sounds good as all the strymon, but i am happy with my fm9, i don’t want to mess again with cables, power supply, velcro etc. Great playing!
Yessss Finally!! Great video man! Would love to see more pedal vids. 🔥🔥
Nice 'In my head' instrumental!
And bravo to strymon, this seems legit! Love my empress reverb, especially for the Ghost reverb... but this got me curious :D
That drippy spring is giving some major Alt Rock Colony House kind of vibes!!!
Love me some Colony House! found them through Gable Price
Definitely was the inspo 😄
Awesome job on the video Bradford!! You’re doing really well solo!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Very cool update, finally has a good screen!
YEEEESSSSSS, LETS GOOO STRYMON!!! I’m probably gonna end up buying it!!
Would love to see a mercury X and LVX video!!!
Would love for them to reach out :)
Nice Tone !
Salutes from Brazil
Your the first people that i would go to if i had to check out a new strymon product.!
And here we are😉💪🏻😃
God bless you
Thanks 👊🏼

Like a Boss RV-500
Whoa! I went with the BOSS RV500 a while ago but this is the first time I hear a verb pedal where I actually feel like I want it LOL
picked mine up for 550 in the use market very happy with that deal
At 9:00 I like the Colony House - You & I sound you played. Great song
Wasn’t that exactly but definitely the inspo!

Nice intro piece and very interesting instrument. Like a Baritone-tele-strat.
Bradford you make anything sound good bro! Great video. Def picking one up
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
I wonder if anyone can actually tell the difference between this and a lesser verb in any sanctuary in the mix
@worshiptutorials Hey Bradford, what WT IR are you using for your base tone at 15:15. I’m interested in purchasing.
Thanks
Can you use old presets from the previous version?
Strymon just told me no.
It sounds good but the first version of Big Sky is more than enough for me.
This is like a Source Audio Ventris V2.0 (all dual, parallel and cascade modes are already in the Ventris) 😂
I was about to say this😉
Ventris is awesome, love mine, however doesn't do reverb IR's like bigsky mx can.
I’m tempted to buy it just for the spring mode hahaha
It’s very good!
We just got two BANGER BRAND NEW pedals!!! The price is nuts though.😔
Can you assign the third foot switch to be another preset like the original pedal? Little bit of a bummer if not.
Can you do swells on the new big sky mx
Great demo. Thanks!
🌹🌹🌹
Just bought the old bigsky today... big L or not really?
Not really, Old BS still killer!
I was about to buy a MercuryX, but now I am trying to figure out what to get!
Mercury X has full spillover all the time.. that's a deal for me.
I got the Mercury X couple of weeks ago and it's astonishing.. have only scratched the surface..this New BigSky looks awesome too..
Omg what was that opening tune? Any tabs or chord charts out there? Well done!
Something I came up with :) thanks!
I was thinking maybe the Meris Mercury x or the Poly effects verbs then realized the MX does both things….
what kind of a stand are you using for the studio monitors? lol
this is the best video ive seen!
big sky with a new screen?
FIRST. LETS GO. STRYMON BIGSKYMX!!!! LETS GO!!!!
Sounds excellent BUT Strymon must offer more on their display and UI for the price they are asking.
Nice video! Great improvements but too expensive for what it is
The BigSky killer, Meris Mercury X came out months ago ;). Seriously though, this new unit sounds awesome, yet I'll stick with the Mercury X for "creative" and fundamental reverb fx.
I was about to buy the MercuryX and just saw this. I'm still leaning towards the MercuryX
Exactly!. Funny how Meris doesn't get the props like Strymon does..The Mercury X is unbelievable but it hasn't got the attention it deserves...
@@morneb01Fwiw...if I were in the market for only standard reverbs... easily selected via a knob ... I'd buy the BigSky MX.

Heyyy random question. What pickups are in that Novo?
Need to know too
Bradford… I don’t have the money to get this 😢😂 not in desperate need of an upgrade but I definitely want to get one
Bloody expensive.....but it sounds amazing, just bought one.
Bigger Sky😮
😂 yeah they dropped the ball on that didn't they?
@@MrStorm029029nah they sold out I would say they did’t 😂
Strymon SkyHigh™
I don't think their new release will do well. I don't see why I should get it instead of the regular Big Sky, and I can't justify the high price of the pedal.
I think the biggest thing is the usb c editor. Keeping track of my midi to usb cable has been a chore lol
Most definitely
Very cool that it’s gonna kill my current Big Sky-but… can it kill my current Line 6 HX one?
After further listening. I need one.
It’s on its way!
I was all set to buy a Cloud Burst.....then this came out...
For line 6 pod go?
You can use a BigSky MX with a POD Go, yes…
Let's Go!!!
"I don't need another reverb, I don't need another reverb, I don't need another reverb"😅
$700 is insane.
Totally not worth it.
Sounds amazing! Too pricey for me, but it is very cool. I guess in the end you get what you pay for.
Mercury X vs this video?
🔥
Waiting for the strymon timeout MX
I’m already on Strymon time out. My wife grounded me from buying any more of their pedals.
OH HECK YEAH BAHDS
It sounds unbelievable... but $679.00 plus tax... oh, I wish it was more affordable.
Lets gooooooo!!!
2nd Comment!
$679 though?
Right!? Too pricey!
GET AN EVENTIDE H90 INSTEAD-LITERALLY CAN DO ALL STRYMON FX PLUS MORE
RIP to people who recently just bought Strymon BigSky
I almost did that a week ago.
I might actually be able to afford 1st gen B Sky now.
Nah, it’s still killer
I might settle with the first version actually, price might go down.
Literally bought one a month ago…this is 679 so I couldn’t afford it anyways😂💀
4,000,000 original big sky units just hit reverb😂
I don't think it is a "Big Sky killer" . Big Sky is even today a state of the art reverb pedal
If I can get through a 3 hour video on Twilight, and a 4 hour video on TH-cam plagiarism, I think I can get handle a 5 hour WT video.
Not that impressed to be honest save your money and get a regular bigsky
If you want to save money, get an alab cetrus. A big sky is still 350 to 500
Next month… Timeline MX
Why this pedal has only 300 preset? Why not 512 presets? I think it's shame in 2024.
…I can’t tell if you’re joking or not 😅
What do you mean “you people”, Bradford? 🤣😂🤣
Yooouuu people 🧐 haha
3rd!
What kind of worship does it work for lol
Big sky killer is another big sky. Lol
Nope.
Great pedal, but that screen man… not cool.
Coming soon to every worship pedalboard in the land 🙄
Amazing pedal, that definitely costs less than $60 to make, and they sell it for 700. Total rip off.
Wow! People claiming 1st/2nd/3rd post etc. You need Jesus...
The first shall be last and the last first 😩🤌🏻
its him tho
