Strymon BigSky Alternatives

What's Hot

in FX
I'm looking for a new reverb pedal and want something with at least a few presets. I like the idea of the Bigsky but it's obviously been around for a long time and so wondering what else is worth considering?

I like the idea of the screen on the Strymon to know what the presets are for, but that's not essential. I want something that will do basic hall/plate reverbs but also more ambient stuff. 

What else should I be looking at? It'll be 2nd hand most likely so nothing brand new. I have a delay so don't want something like the Source Audio Collider.

    Boss RV500 is good. Or HXFX

    I've heard some good things about the RV500 - would probably pair well with my DD500. The HXFX is just a bit big - I want a standalone pedal really

    The TC Electronic Hall Of Fame has a ton of variety, and tone prints. Cheap as chips used. 

    The Neunaber Wet v4 is the boutique reverb of choice, a solid used buy, you’ll always get your money back.

    I'm selling a Neunaber at the moment to fund another. It is a great pedal but just want some extra versatility

    Is the Walrus Audio R1 worth considering?

    Seems like a few people on here are looking for reverb pedals! I recently got a 2nd hand HOF and its great. An array of settings to use, and makes me sound like a proper guitar player now.

    Source Audio Ventris? No screen but easy to use, dual reverb and easy PC editor if needed. I may be selling one, but only because I'm a tart and have bought an Eventide H90.

    +1 for the Source Audio Ventris. Absolutely stunning sounds, great spring/room/hall settings for ‘normal’ playing and the shimmer/e-dome/swell settings are utterly glorious. Plus everything is endlessly tweakable on the app, midi control, ability to run dual reverbs. Sadly they aren’t cheap at the moment though!

    My menu would be Ventris, Empress Reverb, Walrus M1, Specular Tempus. Season to taste.
