HOF all the way. For ambient stuff i recommend anyone to buy a Neunaber reverb. Sounds at least 20x better then a Strymon. Got less options but still waaay better priced then any Strymon. PLUS you really do get your moneys worth buying a Neunaber.
Hall of Fame is good enough for almost any live situation unless someone is a solo act in the ambient world and needs to spend buckets of money on a Big Sky.
Totally agree! Most things we can buy work on the law of diminishing returns. I have recently bought the HoF 2 and am really pleased with it. Plus I like the small footprint (easier to hide from my usually understanding wife!).
I think the HOF2 is a great pedal, plus with the Toneprint feature and the Mash technology you have a tone of sounds on tap.
More proof that while the Strymon pedals are wonderful, you don't need to spend that much money (or real estate) to get a fantastic digital reverb. I'm personally using a tc electronic Arena, because I happened to like one of the custom algorithms in that version of the Hall of Fame better, and I see no reason to use anything else.
Gemma Seymour not to mention how much you can do with it compared to other reverbs out there! Also the hall of fame is so great too! I have both pedals in separate boards!
This demo MUST be in stereo!
the real big difference is, big sky has midi cc facility for communication with DAW. Those who do not need midi the tc in my mind is much superior price advantage (400 bugs) with look to all possibilities and sound looks equal in practice. I like the tc.
For the standard plate hall room stuff both are super on par with each other. The big sky has more tweaking options UNTIL you go to the TC Toneprint editor.
I say for size and sound and value?
The TC trumps the big sky. Unless you are a fan of the wacky shit the big sky does that I am not a fan of like shimmer and bloom and alk that mess thats un-natural sounds a straight up sound fx.
I look for real sounding verbs first and foremost. How realistic is the verb to the real thing?
Others look for ambient soundscapes and stuff.
But for me? HOF is the winner.
Only thing I would like on the HOF is BIg Sky's Reflections. But sure that could be dialed in in the editor maybe as well on the HOF.
Which ever one you get the tool has to serve you what you are after
i have HOF2 and planning to get strymon for upgrade but when i saw the reviews STRYMON "NO build in EXPRESSION pedal", nah! i'll just stick to my HOF2 "WITH build in EXPRESSION PEDAL" ,) Cheers!
The price of the new Strymon Big Sky 473,99 $, TC Electronic Hall 2 - 150 $, in Russia
Пздц(( хочу Strymon, но варик только tc electronic, хотя он тоже неплох)
@@superfuzzbigmuff8262 см первую версию, она дешевле. У меня вторая, Мэшом почти не пользуюсь, ну и 1 доп пресета вполне хватает...
@@VikaSuperPlay Во второй есть ещё шиммер крутой.Только ради него возможно сменю первую версию на вторую.
Шиммер и в первом есть. Или они отличаются ?
@@VikaSuperPlay Нет его в первом.Я изучал..Ну по крайней мере в стандартных пресетах.
The Big Sky is just too expensive for me! 😭I‘m playing in my worship band at church and use the HoF2 on the church setting with level on 3 o‘ clock. Sounds great! 😄
I feel like as amazing as the Strymon is, it sounds artificial. I always feel like it’s almost too hi-fi. The reverb sits behind the guitar too much. The HOF sounds more natural and blends in with the signal better. Both are great, just different.
agree!
Like my Timeline but got rid of the Big Sky and went back to a HOF for that very reason.
Exactly how I feel about my Timeline! The only reason I keep it is for the midi and vinyl sound.
I don't have the Big Sky, but I have the Blue Sky and think it's very artificial, to the point of unusable, I'm now auditioning alternatives for reverb. Hall Of Fame 2 will be my next try. I may just end up going with a rack reverb in the effects loop.
tried the big sky today, the hifi ness lacks the wall of sound im looking for in an ambient reverb. Borderline unplayable to me atleast. EQD, TC,Boss makes way better pedals in the reverb department
To response to those who say the Bigsky has better analog dry, you are wrong. I have a studio running and the fact is that All Strymon pedals change the dry signal when they are on. Their buffer is very dominant and although they sound great but tey aren not the most transparent pedals out there. TC stuff don't have such dominant buffers in them when engaged. They are way more transparent. Maybe that's why some people want to hear 'something which is not there in the first place!'. Big SKy also is too dense IMO. I had it for couple of months, recorded with it, played live sessions and all the reverbs even with low mix and decay were getting on my way playing... The trail of the reverbs were too dense, kinda like synthy reverb? But HOF sounds more natural to me. I actually just tried the Ventris as well and did not like it either. It was overly bright and all those features did not help it to sound good IMO either; only the Spring reverb on that sounded great.
I think HOF 2 is a great winner in compare to all of these big boys. MXR Reverb is also nice, the PAD preset is wonderful.
Lol I have all 3. There is a tool for every job.
Two great pedals. I have both on my board and use them very differently. The HOF2 sits permanently before my delay...
Intereresting! That's is where I have my HOF as well! before my TC Alter Ego which I really like a lot. I do have my H9 right now before it so can have it post delay or whatever. If I pick up a Boss ES8 - even more flexibility.
The delays sound huge with the HOF going into it!
Lael_Da just got a hof2 today but don't know whether to put it in before or after my dd-7. I'll try before and see how it goes
Ty Bowes I have my Flashback into the HOF. This is making me curious.
Это ж надо в стерео обязательно!
God both of these pedals just scream option paralysis for me! My dream reverb is a boss 63 just because it's simple and sounds great lol
I feel you. Some days you just want to *play*, not tweak endlessly.
I will probably use plate Mott so nice to have the options for the HOF2 price anyway.
Own both and as with most any demo you must really sit betreen 2 say Mesa cabs and really soak it all in. I have not even scratched the surface of my Big Sky but some of the sounds it makes are truly those that sound like angels singing.
Dear Friends,
Kindly check out the Robert Keeley Caverns V2 it incorporates modulation, reverb and delay for the game changing win. 😊
Always scratch my head and this kind of comment in this sort of context. Big Sky vs. HOF 2 vs whatever you feel like throwing out there? I've owned all three. I stuck with the HOF as my subjective preference although the Keeley sounds good.
Anyone else like Strymon's BlueSky shimmer algorithm better than the BigSky? I use to own a BlueSky and I loved the shimmer on it!!! Regret selling it everyday!!!
I agree with you. I owned them both and unfortunately that was the only clear area where I preferred the Big Sky.
TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2 WIN !
Hi I definitely like the Strymon Big Sky much better than the TC Electronic Hall of Fame 2. Yet another Strymon pedal will find it's way onto my pedal board. From Gary of Grindelwald Northern Tasmania.
Close ur eyes and listen. If you can’t hear that one is clearly superior than the other or you obviously prefer one over the other then it’s probably not worth the extra few hundred dollars.
well the hall of fame verbs are nice whilst the Stymon ones had a shimmer tail that I didnt prefer. However the actual shimmer setting on the Stymon was way more tuneful than the HOF one but hey the shimmer is more of a freebie addition on HOF and the biggest selling point on the Stymon but is it really 4 times the price better ?
I own the big sky never use the shimmer for me the full plate and the cloud mode have it a main stay on the board I don't think anything sounds like it I've a h9 max with black hole aswell and big sky is going nowhere fyi .
Big sky is more organic when you really crank it with drive it accentuates beautifully not artificially exaggerated. The best reverb in the market which I have just got !
No need for the Big Sky. Just get the Cloudburst IMO.
I like shimmer on the big sky about the only thing
You have to check out the specular by Gfi.....Amazing. Had mine for a few weeks . Best reverb I've ever heard.
I've played that one. It's great. Rivals the Bigsky easily.
price is cheep , love my specular reverb so much
I have the Specular, it's really huge verb, but if I was to do it again the GFI Tempest!!
Randy m yes...that has delay also , very nice pedal . I think GFI has got the idea ....the biggest sound in a small pedal and price . I also have the hall of fame 1 and I found a tone print called " girl with the dragon tattoo " it's the only sound that can compare to the big sky.
They lie Ohio I also have the BSky but I think it has a different sound to it, a great unique sound too. I think their sounds a mutually exclusive. Every Pedal has it's functions of operation but also quality of the sound overall. Forinstance i have the Boss dd 500, my friend loves it for all its functions but the overall sound charactoristic sounds good but not great to me but to some it's the only pedal you need!! Thanks for the heads up on the Dragon tatoo, I'll ck it out!!
I had the HOF. The shimmer and mod modes are for worship music. Unusable for my sinner's taste.
I own the HOF2…but I think the Big Sky is better. I venture some commenting here have David vs Goliath syndrome.
Haven't seen a lot of Boss RV 500 reviews lately.. I had one for about 2 months and sold it so maybe that's the reason why, it's not a keeper. Lot of deep editing but to much of a digital sound imo, didn't find it very inspiring.
Edit: Like to hear other people's opions though..Also, what's the best plug and play reverb in your opinion?
Once had a Big Sky, liked it, sold it while it is still worth the money, in case they came up with a new version. Had a Hall of Fame before that, never felt the Big Sky was "better", had more functions. Going to get the HoF2. Same sound quality, easier to use, smaller size, better price point. Killer pedal.
LuckyLicks yeah thinking about buying one. I saw that radiohead uses a hof some time ago, and they know a thing or two about tone..
The Boss rv Is A Dumpster Fire lol I had that over Priced Tin Can For a Whole 40 minutes before I sent it Back From The trash can it came from And that's why I don't play boss pedals Except for the , dd3 delay it was great, But like I was saying, No matter how you tweak the knobs it still sounded like Crap, To digital I did not feel inspired at all when I played it
Should also mention that I've been fucking with software fx for a while now, and from what I can tell, a lot of it is as good as moderate-high quality pedals. TAL's verb 4 is great (though the "lo fi" settings seem worthless), and Valhalla's Supermassive is low-key famous. OldSkoolReverb is also pretty solid.
I own the Hof and HoF2 and the plate reverb is maybe the best? The shimmer stuff is pretty unusable esp vs Strymon. The longer the trails get...the more you want that Strymon. But the plate gets 80-90% of my time so TC for now
Everyone talks trash about strymon but until you have one under your foot you should have no right to opinion. It sounds and feels different with the guitar on you hands, it sound like heaven and unless I dont remeber right, on certain types of reverb with very long decays every time you play a new chord or new note it decays faster so the new note doesnt mix with the old one, this makes the whole difference because it never gets too busy and mushy.
You can't hear $$$ when it comes to gear. Paying more thinking it will be an upgrade may not pan out. Example: I ended up not caring for the Strymon El Capistan and put my TC Electronic Flashback back on my board because it sits better in the mix of a band on the chorus delay setting. That said, my Strymon blueSky is on my pedalboard and is definitely better sounding than my TC Electronic HoF, at least for certain applications. I still have my HoF and have placed it on another smaller pedalboard.
PLEASE make a STEREO demo! This is not useful.
But I am very interested in your idea about comparing these 2 A-B.
Some humm though.
I swopped from a hof mini to a hof 2 for stereo mainly, use the mini with my bass and acoustic. I have the Timeline so I dont see the reason to go for the Big Sky as well a a lot of the algorithms seems to be in both. Strymon have one pedal in 3 colours with 3 names, and just program them differently! Also true of TC many pedals one set of software! My fender still has that nice reverb in it. As a comparison I think the HOF 2 has enuf given BS is 4 x the price!
BigSky, Timeline, and Mobius are far from the same pedal XD
I kind of see what Robert is saying though - it is all about the programming and algorithms. So why is it that my Mr Black Eterna just does shimmer (to my ears) so much better. It is like one algorithm with three simple controls....although with programming - my H9 can also sound great and gives me trails option if I use a buffer.
you make the tone with your fingers :-D :-D hate me in 3, 2, 1...I own both pedals 😎
guys ,lets be honest, I know strymon Bigsky costs a lot but it is also way better
Whilst I agree in principle, the reality is, in all but the most telling environments, you dont need the big boy. In a live situation with reduced bandwidth of a guitar amplifier you really dont notice the difference. I have a number of delays. reverbs ( not big sky) and reality is the cheaper ones are fine. In the studio or, playing on your own at home absolutely I go to town!
The analog dry signal is audibly superior on the Big Sky. Had the HOF and returned it because it sucked tone on my acoustic guitar. Would get the Big Sky if it wasn’t so huge, so expensive and so overloaded with sounds I don’t need. Going to try the MXR M300 soon. Has analog through for the dry signal, seems easy for changing presets on the fly (with push button and lights in different colors), is compact and not expensive. Maybe the Bluesky would also be worth trying. Don’t care for the Polara because of the nasty graphics that make it tough to read labels on stage without glasses and good lighting. Other suggestions for pristine acoustic guitar reverb welcome.
Scott Becker...I have the MXR reverb and it is awesome 😎
Elwyn Smiles , thanks for the encouraging words on the MXR! 😊 Yeah, could be a winner.
Alexander sky fi sounds amazing with acoustic guitars
Rodion Avtushenko Thanks for the Sky Fi tip! Never heard of it, but will now check it out.
I bought the HOF specifically to run with my Acoustics. Your experience with it could be due to your pick up. I run a LR Baggs Anthem. Had the Fishman Piezo under saddle with Fishman outboard Preamp. Major improvement going to the Anthem. I also run this thru PAs, Boss, Yamaha, etc., Without any issues. The Strymon is a very nice pedal but having done side by side comparisons with HOF, MXR, and the new L R Baggs, and 3 days of the Fender Marine it does not justify the price/performance decision.
I have over 40 years pro experience in music. When a product is worth the cost then you buy it, when it isn't you don't. The Big Sky is not worth the cost beyond what you can have well under $200.00 above that it simply doesn't provide anything to warrant buying it. These things sit on Craigslist and EBAY for months unsold once they get compared to a HOF or MXR and shown up.
Cheers
I'm sorry but tc electronic have a great chanche firs of all the price... second it's programmable
Mash technology wins 😛.
That an annoying shimmer on the big sky just doesn’t do it for me
The HOF sounds great for the price.. have an original.. but man it is ugly.
Never compare big sky whit litle pedal😹😹😹... The big sky is mush for all💥
I went for something that's better, more affordable and more good looking than both: the shift line astronaut. Real deal boy, real deal. These two brands are getting too overrated lately
I bought a Shift Line Astronaut a year ago and it stopped working. Buyer beware!
MrFlyingMack let's hope it won't happen with mine! I have the 2017 version, there must've been a positive upgrade
Astronaut is cheap. Picked one up new for 150$ stopped working. Bigsky is king for a good reason.
Tally Phillips we'll see how mine treats me
But mono in and out ,no thanks
This demo being in mono almost renders this entire video useless..
The HOF can't do most of what the BigSky does.
