    I just got mine and it sounds great! Regular type reverbs with clarity and huge ambient harmonic washes. I haven't even tried the cab simulations and impulses yet.

    Ed, you are right on, It is better and worth the price. Now I want to see them drop the timeline. I know it is coming. Thanks for all you do. Love you channel.

    This thing is expensive but it also helped me knock three pedals off my board and essentially paid for itself. The impulse loading feature alone is insane!

    I just plugged mine in with my h90, and those two pedals in tandem sound so amazing. They had me playing all day! I never owned the old Big Sky, so I can't compare, but I will say it is the best sounding reverb pedal I have ever heard. Great video btw!

    I have a Big Sky and just received my MX today and I'm totally blown away. It is really expensive and I'll be paying my card off for months but I'm glad I did it.

    I dig this guy. Was looking at potentially upgrading my reverb (RV-6) LITERALLY the day this pedal was released. Anytime I can buy a one-n'-done product im in. Just waiting for my MX to arrive

    Yes the old one had a cab sim switch on the back. Back before anyone knew what a cab sim was.

    It seems like a great reverb pedal. What always concerns me with these companies though is that they can get you to pay $400-$500+ for their latest pedal but then a year or so later they come out with a new, improved version.

    I’ve heard people complain about that screen and honestly I prefer a simpler screen interface- I had the meris LVX and while ya that screen looks way better, interacting with it never really felt natural….

  • @poesybeat
    @poesybeatАй бұрын

    I run two reverbs in series regularly, which makes this unit far more appealing than the original (which I never bought). Wished they’d updated the look though - the Meris stuff looks way cooler.

    I had a Strymon Flint and gave it a run for a year, sold it. Tremolo was nice, but too much for just a tremolo pedal. The only digital reverb I've kept is EHX's Ocean's 12, which is a dual reverb. Yeah, not a Strymon fanboy either.

    I thought the plate setting sounded the best...yes, that was my initial take on it, space and simplicity too, I found their spring setting to be just laden with digital artifacts, which I found surprising for such a revered pedal and company.

    Strymon DIG is my favorite of their pedals, and the mobius is still the best sounding multi-modulation effect pedal, even though its individual effects don’t hold up against individual best-in-class pedals for each effect. For midi pedalboard users, the ‘stryfecta’ are very solid and tourable options.
