I don't think anyone saw a Bigsky MKII coming in 2024. Regardless, Strymon has gone ahead and released a heavily redesigned followup to what is arguably one of the most influential reverb pedals ever made so lets talk about it, it's price, and what they've done to keep the Bigsky MX relevant in the modern pedal landscape.
