About This Listing

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 our beacon, we carefully studied and scientifically analyzed reverb technology from the past fifty years. We faithfully captured the essence of these classic sounds, and forged ahead to dream up our vision of reverbs from the future.

GO WHERE NO REVERBS HAVE 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. BigSky gives you twelve studio-class reverb machines, each with simple yet powerful controls.

We knew we must take reverb to a whole new level. With careful attention to detail, innovative analog circuitry design, an insanely powerful SHARC processor, and the utilization of top-shelf components, we've developed a reverb pedal that fits on your pedal board yet has better audio quality than many rack reverb units. This fusion of science with art has just one goal. To provide you with the most musically inspirational reverb experiences possible.

Sound Design

Hand crafted, studio-class reverb algorithms deliver lush, gorgeous, and musically inspiring reverb experiences
Twelve reverb machines to choose from: Room, Hall, Plate, Spring, Swell, Bloom, Cloud, Chorale, Shimmer, Magneto, Nonlinear, Reflections
Seven front-panel tone shaping knobs: Decay, Pre-Delay, Mix, Tone, Mod, Param 1, Param 2 (Param knobs assignable per preset)
Additional menu parameters allow for easy customization of reverb sounds
300 easily accessible and namable presets
Press-and-hold Infinite Sustain and Freeze functions, saveable per preset
Spillover and Reverb Persist modes, saveable per preset
Selectable Speaker Cabinet emulation for direct-to-PA gigs or recording applications

Hardware

Three rugged metal footswitches for preset selection and effect bypass
LED display for preset info, reverb decay time, and extended parameter control
Multi-color preset LEDs (green for active preset, amber for edited preset)
Full MIDI implementation allows extended control for those with more complex rigs
Sturdy and lightweight light blue anodized aluminum chassis, with laser-etched artwork
Durable black anodized aluminum knobs
Studio-grade audio input and output jacks

Ins & Outs

Stereo input and output
Expression pedal input with selectable control over any knob or combination of knobs, saveable per preset (also configurable as external tap input)
MIDI input and output
Included 9V center-negative power supply (300mA minimum required)

Audio Quality

Analog dry path for a zero latency dry signal that is never converted to digital
Premium analog front end and output section
Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters
115dB typical signal to noise at 50% wet mix (120db at 100% dry mix, 109dB at 100% wet mix)
20Hz to 20kHz frequency response
+8dBu maximum input level easily handles instrument and line signals
