Pedals that stack with the Strymon BigSky

Suhr Rufus Reloaded

The Rufus Reloaded's high-gain fuzz-distortion gives the BigSky's own ambient, shimmering reverb a real gain stage to trail rather than just space.

Fjord Fuzz Berserk

The BigSky's ambient, shimmering reverb doesn't stack gain with the Berserk's extreme fuzz — it just gives it somewhere spacious to decay.

Electro-Harmonix Bad

The BigSky's ambient, shimmering reverb gives the Bad's resonant phase sweep somewhere spacious to color into.

MXR ZW90 Wylde Phase

Put the Wylde Phase before the BigSky in the chain so its metal-voiced sweep gets carried by the reverb tail instead of racing ahead of it.
