    We're completely spoiled now having access to the Strymon BigSky MX, Eventide H90, and Meris MercuryX. 3 top tier reverbs. The Walrus Audio Sloer is also pretty awesome.

      Yeah! But the H90 has a serious problem with price positioning nowadays, imho. It arrived late to the party and at its price range there are many other options to consider

    "greatest reverb of all time" is subjective obviously.. I love this and want it and probably get it sometime, however it's still not going to be able to do things others can do like the modular world of meris mercury x etc.. But it's always cool to have more options. No such thing as too much for me!

    Nice demo. If you have a monophonic synth, can you use this to get a stereo effect? Thanks.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  25 днів тому

      Hi there, thanks for your interest! So - not to get into the weeds with technical terms, but I’m assuming you’re thinking of a synth with a mono output, rather than one that is monophonic in the sense of only producing one note/voice at a time. Either way, the short answer is yes. The effects on the BigSky can work in stereo even if the incoming signal is mono.
      I hope this helps - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!

    Hey Sweetwater, can we get more artists and less guitarists for pedal demos? Less blues, 70’s rock riffs, etc and more new creative ways to use classic & modern sounding pedals would be greatly appreciated!
    So many pedals sound like, “Just another”, because the guitarist demoing is playing “just another,” blues or rock lick.
    I love Mitch and how he’s one of the only people to go into such full detail on gear parameters. I almost never have to read the manual if Mitch has a video on it. I would love to see an artist come in after and demonstrate the pedal being used to its absolute limits and played how I’d never think of using it. Bring in Yvette Young!
    With more gear than ever available and their price tags soaring we, your customers, need better & creative representation of gear to help us make more economically informed decisions. Some of us need to buy gear sparingly and sometimes don’t have access locally to try before we buy so these demos are everything.
    Sweetwater is an absolute in the music world and I’m finding myself watching less and less of your pedal/gear videos because other channels are meeting those needs. I know there are other younger players who feel this way too so we’d be appreciative if you listened. Love you all and my Sweetwater sales rep, thanks for all you’ve done for the guitar community!

      No it's not lol. It's like 1/2 inch wider and maybe same inch bigger the other way, and only $200 or so more than normal bigsky... Take into consideration 2 reverbs at once, also can do reverb IR's, that's basically 3 different reverbs, also new algorithms, updated algorithms, and it basically has the new strymon cloudburst in it and more. Totally worth the cost! Go buy a big sky, and a cloudburst and a reverb IR unit, and let me know how much that costs you in the end. HINT: way more than this pedal ;)

      @@ChristopowaaaIMO, a “review” is less important for a pedal than it is for a guitar, as you can decide for yourself how it sounds and how it’s laid out. For a guitar, it’s more important to hear the demo person’s honest feedback as to the feel and fit and finish.

    Ehh. I love my big sky. I was very excited about this until I saw what it was. So basically you can stack the a and b settings. I was already doing that with my big sky and an afterneath. Anybody can do it with any reverb. As cool as it sounds, it’s not that big of a deal. Then you have the weird left right routing. Idk anyone that would need a slap back to the left and a hall to the right but you do you. Then you have the missing C foot switch replaced with infinite, the big sky used infinite on every single foot switch if you just held it down. So we lost a space for a “feature” we already had. Then there’s the impulse response import. Honestly if you’re importing IRs to a big sky what’s the point? $680? I don’t think so
