The best I've heard
Anonymous 04.12.2016
I was in search for a pedal that could do everything from subtle spring reverb to huge modulated hall reverbs and Strymon Big Sky does that and so much more. This pedal is packed with a lot of cool sounds. Not only do they sound amazing but they are really useful and easy to manage.

For ambient sounds and such I use bloom, cloud, chorale, shimmer and swell. They all have their own purpose in my sound and all sound really great! Shimmer combined with a volume pedal gives great synth-like swells. For my regular playing I use mostly spring and plate reverb and they sound great as well, I usually just turn the reverb on my amp to 0 and use this instead.

Pros: wow, where do I start? The sounds that come out of this thing! The size and weight, lighter and smaller than expected, I am still amazed by the greatness in the sound you get from such a small source. The patches and how easy they are to store and tweak.

Cons: the only thing I can come up with is the price, but I can see why now that I own one myself, and it is worth it. Studio-grade reverbs in a stompbox is all I can say.

Summary: If you use different reverbs, need the great sounds that this box produces, need the ability to store patches and have the money, don't hesitate!

Perfect Effect
Mr Lee 18.06.2018
I use the Big Sky on my guitar rig that i play on stage and it sounds amazing!! The FX is really pure and sparkling. It's crystal clear! There are lots of different types of reverb, and the presets bank are huges (300 presets).

Sound
Extremly good quality of sound. 12 types of reverb wich are all customizable. Some classics and some more specials... Excellent!

handeling
The pedal is compact and all the parameters are easily accessible. The main parameters are in the front pannel. It's also possible to name every preset.
The only cons is the way to go from bank to bank. You have to push two different buttons to switch to en upper or lower bank. It's ok if you have big feet but harder when you do it by hand.

Features
You can add an expression pedal. Possibility for midi connections and stereo use.

I'm definitely a huge fan of this one. Perfect on stage. The price is totally worth it.

Cheers

Wow ,just Wow!!!
Nikol4ik 20.05.2017
I got mine BigSky this morning ,the delivery was very fast 5 days to Bulgaria.Im really happy with Thomann's professional and fast service.5 stars for that.

Now to the BigSky.This reverberator is hands down the most complex,musical inspirational and sweetest reverb pedal I have so far.I have ordered from Thomann before the BlueSky,Neunaber Immerse and was really happy with those two.I stack them together to make some really lush ambient sounds,cause that's most of the style I play(ambient worship).
The variety of reverb machines on this pedal is stunning.
All the modes are perfectly crafted to suit and satisfy all of my reverb needs.The reverb modes make me wanna approach my guitar in a different way,giving me the freedom and inspiration to write great .Im really happy with my purchase.Thomann is my favourite and only provider for my musical needs.

Having the BigSky in your Arsenal I don't think you'll ever need another reverb pedal.Its just the best!!!BigSky is a life changer for me,go and get one NOW!!!You will be smiling from one ear to another!

I love this pedal, it sounds INCREDIBLE. Particularly when used in stereo. You can lose days of your life playing with this thing but you will emerge out the other side with an entirely new approach to whatever instrument you put through it, an incredible sound that you have never heard before and the biggest stupid grin on your face. It's comparable to the Eventide Space and and to the reverb effects of the H9 but there is just something immensely likeable about this pedal. Its incredibly user friendly and the sounds are truly fantastic. If my pedal board got stolen this would be the very first thing I would replace (apart from the trusty TU2)

Infinite Possibilities
mulenth 13.04.2021
Infinite Possibilities !!!! Just these two words can describe this pedal!
The pinnacle of Reverb pedals.
The only ""bad""thing that it might be is a bit tricky to get to know the pedal and the functions of it but if you spend time with it and experiment you will find for sure lots of sounds/effects.

Lives up to its reputation
Paul C IE 13.01.2022
Using mainly as external audio effect on DAW (mostly synths / Guitar)

Pros:
Probable still one if not the best reverb pedals / algorithms out there.
Accepts line level from interface out.

Cons:
Bit pricey, I can think of one VST which is quite close in quality.
Need to boost return signal which can generate some noise (depends on pre-amps)

Reverberated Bliss!
Ian294 15.02.2015
I bought all 3 of the high end Strymon pedals for my new GigRig G2 based pedalboard and I have not been disappointed. The Big Sky has a very simple user interface so is easy to program and save patches. Sound quality is superb and there are more patches than you could ever use. The factory patches are great and the unit is fully midi controllable. The only negative comment I can make about it is the absence of a midi mapping facility. The ability to use an expression pedal is also a great feature and any parameter can be controlled with this in real time. Also several parameters can be controlled simulataneoulsy. Strymon also offer a free download of a PC librarian software to archive and store patches and also preform firmware upgrades. A midi interface is required to use this though. I use the midi sport uno which worse great for this purpose.

I've been circling around this unit for years and finally purchased it. It's everything I have hoped it would be. This sets the standard for lush and beautiful, for guitar, synth, keys, vocals etc. It's not the go-to for dirty or gritty, mainly the heavenly and infinite which it's name and color describe. I would say rather than buying various reverb pedals, save yourself the time and always wondering what you're missing and go for this one.
