No, there isn’t a secret iPhone reverb engine, it’s not the iPhone name style change in the newer Bigsky. It’s something more fundamental: compared to the Bigsky, the new MX isn’t ground-breaking or world-changing. The MX is a “useful but iterative” upgrade. Let’s talk about it. Shout-out to Swee Lee Music for letting me borrow their BigSky MX unit for demo purposes. I filmed on-site for both this video as well as Swee Lee’s socials. You can find a collab reel on Swee Lee’s Instagram profile, which links back to my All About Worship Guitar IG.

This won’t be a comprehensive review of the BigSky MX, so don’t expect a demo of every reverb algorithm. Many other folks have done it, so what I’m offering instead is some perspective as to why this pedal isn’t at the top of my must-have list, even though I’m a worship guitarst. #1: Dual reverb algorithms are cool, but routing is still limited One of the key features of the BigSky MX is the ability to run two reverb algorithms at once, with the ability to route them in series, parallel, or splitting them to two different outputs. The idea is that with 2 reverb algorithms, you’ll just need this one reverb pedal on your board. Except that’s still not the way I’d run two reverb pedals on a board. Yes, routing them in series can lead to a stacked reverb sound, but I want to have one reverb before the amp and one reverb after the amp. In other words, pre and post-amp reverb stacking. The reverb before the amp helps achieve wet section saturation, leading to that crunched reverb sound, and the reverb after the amp glues the tone together with an ambience. This is what pre and post-amp reverb sounds like with a Walrus Audio Slotva and a GFI System Specular Reverb. Now on the TimeLine, there’s an option to use an input in English
