Strymon has announced the BigSky Plugin. Price is $199.
200 bucks! I’ll stick with Valhalla
What about shipping?
I don’t know, I don’t work for UPS.
Nice to see quality stompbox companies releasing plugins. But yea…$200….err $199. There’s a ton of strong vst reverb game out there for far less.
Yeah, that price point for a reverb, even for Strymon, is going to be a tough sell in the software world. NI Raum for $50, Valhalla Supermassive for $0… I’m sure it’s a great plugin, but I foresee some Plugin Alliance-style discounts in its future.
Wake me up when Valhalla release a Supermassive pedal
Among the greatest gifts to musicians and producers that there has been
I also don’t think I will be picking this up, especially for $199. I have other reverbs, like Valahalla’s awesome verbs, that do the job fine. I can definitely see this being useful for others though. In the studio and you don’t want to re-cut or re-amp that guitar or synth part, no worries anymore, you’ve got the Sky-type reverb in your DAW. I mean, things like amp sims and whatnot have come so far, that you can travel even lighter now, and get a recording sound that is approximate to your live sound. For lovers of the Sky-verbs, this will be great for them as they can easily toss it on multiple tracks at a time now.
Yea it is a great reverb. I love mine and have wished from time to time that I could have full control post-recording with it. And multiple instances, like you say, would be killer. Can’t fork out the money here I don’t think but I do like that they’re steering in this direction.
that’s serious money for a reverb plug-in
Can anyone recommend something similar to the Chorale reverb as a VST?
I absolutely love that sound but cannot afford anything like this in a while.
Oh Great. It will be cracked and free for all within the week.
We’re gunna be rinsed in an endless choir of angels singing.
I’m throwing my hardware bigsky in the bin.
Which bin?
Asking for a friend.
200 ?
Are they serious ?
Yeah I’m not sure who they think asked for this. Buy any one Valhalla and download supermassive for free and you can go almost anywhere you need to IMO.
That’s an interesting move!
UA announced 2 new plugins will be available soon, one of them being a reverb. If this Strymon plugin is also available on the UAD platform, I’ll certainly get it as I was thinking of moving back ITB for wet type effects and there’s not such a thing as too much reverb
Looking forward to what Strymon will release next in plugin format… while I still wish Soundtoys would bring some of their plugins to hardware (in a H9 like box) or UAD platform.
This was funnier than it should have been
Raum is great!
