The Strymon BigSky has been an integral part of numerous professional pedalboards for many years. After 4 years of further development, it now comes as the BigSky MX with a sound that is bigger, wider and more expressive than ever before. There are also a number of new features that make it “outstanding” among reverb pedals.
