Big Sky Reverb

Plug into BigSky and instantly lift your sound into the stratosphere. The world below you fades into the distance, and you're elevated into a glow of lush, glorious, radiant reverbs.

To create a reverb experience as natural, beautiful, and immersive as BigSky required tremendous feats of sound engineering and artistic imagination. Using the fundamentals of acoustical science as their beacon, Strymon carefully studied and scientifically analyzed reverb technology from the past fifty years to faithfully capture the essence of these classic sounds, and forged ahead to dream up their own vision of reverbs from the future.

Go where no reverb has gone before.

Feel the mechanical tension of the Spring reverbs. Hear the floating particles of the Cloud machine. Defy the laws of physics with the Nonlinear reverbs. Unleash the multi-head reverberations of the Magneto machine.

12 Unique Reverb Machines

BigSky gives you twelve studio-class, musically inspirational reverb machines:

• Hall.
• Plate.
• Spring.
• Swell.
• Bloom.
• Cloud.
• Chorale.
• Shimmer.
