Pete, Strymon’s resident DSP Algorithm Genius, is the number-crunching guru who comes up with the complex mathematical equations responsible for the BigSky’s ultra-complex and realistic reverb algorithms. He’s responsible for creating the BigSky’s functional and gorgeously streamlined form-factor and ensuring that uncompromising audio fidelity is maintained from the moment your guitar signal enters the pedal to the moment it leaves. Gregg is the Senior Analog Engineer, a.k.a the hardware guy, whose primary contributions are of the physical nature. People often just look at the final product, but remarkable insights can be had by gaining an understanding of a company’s mission and development process. My most illuminating revelation was simply gaining a better understanding of the roles of these three men during product development and how their individual areas of expertise come together in crafting the outstanding effects Strymon has become well-known for. My Q&A sessions weren’t formal interviews per se, just me picking the brains of founders, Gregg, Pete, and Dave, about Strymon’s design philosophy, company history, and of course, the new BigSky. It’s rare to have an opportunity for an in-depth discussion with company founders and chief designers before a product review, yet here were all 3 Strymon founders/engineering gurus at the unveiling and hands-on presentation of the BigSky. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised and decided this might be a great time for an intel-gathering reconnaissance mission. It didn’t even cross my mind that Strymon would be unveiling a new product. My Strymon BigSky review came about in an interesting way as I just so happened to be in attendance during the unveiling of the BigSky Multidimensional Reverberator at the first ever Strymon Social event here in Southern California.
