Finally got my Strymon Big Sky. Its been a struggle since I had the money for the pedal twice but something kept coming up that needed the funds. I have spent about 2 hours with it and it is just awesome. From subtle reverbs to over the top weird ones. I was afraid that I was going to box myself into only have giant ethereal sounding reverbs but this thing does a wonderful job at room and spring. So far the overdriven spring setting and some rockabilly cords really made my toes curl. Paired up with my Timeline, this is just simply butter. Time to play around with the editor.

Nice! Maybe one day i'll step into the dark side....

Yeah, I got one of these in the past couple/few weeks. I'm loving mine, and partnered with the Timeline it's a pretty killer setup in my effects loop.

I agree, I was just afraid that every setting would be "out of this world" ethreal sounding and kind of a one trick pony. It is very usable and has some great room & spring reverbs. Now I just need to make up my mind if I will part with my Blue Sky or to just stick it back in the box and in the closet for now.

Strymon stuff is awesome

I just wish I could play well enough to appreciate this thing. Good thing I cant afford it anyways, I wouldnt know what to do with it.

I always felt that ability argument was a misnomer; if you like what you do, and enjoy playing with effects, buy whatever makes you feel happy

That's a nice copout right there. 

The problem is that when I get a behemoth like that to play with, my inability to make it sound decent overwhelmes my desire to tinker with it till the cows come home. So instead of enjoying the sonic options that it offers, I spend my time fiddling with knobs to no avail.
Invariably, it's always me and never the pedal that's the problem. More than three knobs on anything and I'm lost.
