There are many beautiful, delicate sounds in the BigSky, and if you're like me, the BigSky has been an indispensable element of your ambient workflow for years, but as I'm sure many of you can relate, with a pedal that offers so much in the way of variety and complexity, it can be easy to find yourself in a rut.
About once a year I try to make a habit of going through all my current and past settings to rotate to the front all of the things that I think are inspiring or useful for the work ahead.
As I was working through old sounds I stumbled on to a handful of sounds I don't really hear anyone talking about, so I thought it would be fun to share and see how many of these sounds you've used.
Let's explore some of my favorite sounds from the Magneto mode, Nonlinear, Shimmer & Spring modes for some of the weirdest and wildest sounds that the BigSky has to offer.
