excellent!

wish they had some easy to understand tutorials, had to call the company to be able to start with big sky and timeline.

Amazing sound for my synths!

I love the dreamy sound of this reverb. Well-built and works great on anything. Can go from subtle to extreme and blissful reverb sound. Yes, Valhalla plug-ins sound similar, but it's nice to have this hard-wired into an analog synth.

Fianlly

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.

Best reverb made ever, no comments!

I am happy with it

A bit pricey, but still amazing sounding reverb. Very well build, easy to set-up, very versatile. I am happy I bought it. Also it looks pretty on my pedalboard. :D

Audible emotions

A bunch of audio feeling packed in one machine. So good and complex that the only think you need is just not to get overwhelmed and use it to much on everything.

A recomendar uma melhoria seria no tipo de knob onde faria algo maior e mais preciso, aproveitando o espaço em vazio

Everything you will ever need.

Just get this thing. It's amazing, also especially as a creative reverb tool.

All the reverb I need

A bit hard to get your head around all the programming options but the sound quality is out of this world. I use it for several instruments and it performs brilliantly, from subtle room effects to whacked out pitch modulated mayhem.

Pure Euphoriatic ecstasy

Use:

i used it with an electric guitar and another 2 synthesizers, literally all that u need to do is just play a note and then go on that endless euphoria.

the sounds are so organic, endless options and so easy to customize, and to play multiple instruments simultaneously, no difference between the quality when you record with the amp or directly to your Digital Audio Workstation,

Pros:

i do simply like everything about it

Cons:

Don't think that I'll find em.

Amazing Sounding Reverb

This reverb sounds amazing and has amazing build quality. The only downsides:

1) It's expensive.

2) The screen is not readable. At this price I would expect something like an OLED.

Highly recommended if your budget can accommodate. There may be better reverbs for your money though.

The best Rev Pedal !

Heavenly!

This reverberator is awesome. The sound bank and configurations are vastly rich. As for controls, some of the knobs are lighter (value and type knobs) than others and some are heavier (parameters & decay etc..) every tone and reverb machine is exclusively configurable.

it is an amazing pedal

of course it used to be more incredible a few years ago but still brings a lot of power to the sound and it is very handy

So far, my best pedal purchase ever. Low noise and great room and hall effects. Comes with a price but I do not regret the purchase for one moment.

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)

Perfect Effect

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

Great Reverb

One of the best reverbs out there, I am using it mostly with analog synth and it does make the trick. The only "problem" for me is the screen, I would like to have a bigger screen with more details about the fxs. Overall a very nice product.

The Benchmark Reverb

Everything else is measured against the BigSky - nothing else comes close.

Great reverb

I'm a guitarist and I use this pedal on my pedalboard. The sound and possibilities of this reverb pedal are incredible, and it is totally worth the price. The pedal is very versatile and will come in handy with most genres. The only downside is the price a it is quite expensive, however if you are able to buy it, I highly recommend it.
