big sky what fx to pair it with

[soundescape]

so i just got a big sky and having trouble with adding dirt or modulation and the order it should go. i use a rainbow machine with afterneath into a freeze to a spacecho the a blue sky then a delay lab i use a sound wave breakdown in front of the chain. i just got the big sky and having trouble getting the same feel i had any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

I'm not an expert on buffers and impedance and what not, so I can't help you there. But the rest of your chain seems pretty damn impressive, no shortage of excellent verb/delay there...

Does your amp have an fx loop you could try running the big sky though? That's sorta my standard suggestion when someone's delay pedal isn't getting along with his dirt peds

[hbombgraphics]

yeah an effects loop may help,
Got any pictures of the chain?
Maybe we can see something?

WHen you say getting the same feel do you mean that the verb and dirt aren't working well together?

[rfurtkamp]

Don't have that particular pedal, but reverb in general it depends on what you want to do with it.

Want a naturalish verb placement and don't use your amp for dirt?

End of chain.

If you use amp for dirt, and want that, effects loop (if it sounds right, sometimes they don't).

Otherwise just swap it around. Either you'll like it or you don't!

You learn this stuff by directly doing, and I say this after twenty-some years of flopping units around to see where each fits in the chain!

i tried to post a pic but to sure if it work still getting used to submitting, i tend to have problems with strymon stuff there are awesome pedals but to me you can't really use fuzz OR heavy overdrive. i have a strymon el capstan that i am thinking about getting rid of hardly use it for me the RE 201 SPACE ECHO is better for what i do but i have tons of people who tell me the el cap is way better

el cap is way better

[soundescape]

trying to sell it

[hbombgraphics]

already?

no good huh?

[soundescape]

the el cap i want to sell the big sky, i am still going to give it a chance. i got caught up in the hype when it came out i am going to try yo mess with the pre sets to see if it helps with the feel i am going for

[hbombgraphics]

good idea, sometimes I flip pedals around before I realize how sweet they are

[soundescape]

i try to run stereo through two amps the blue sky was awesome for this i think the big sky may have too much going on it sounds great til i turn some fuzz on then all the little nuances go away IDK ill keep trying!!!! thanks guys!

I use a lot of various fuzz/distortion/OD pedals into various Strymon pedals (Timeline/DIG/Flint **no longer own the Flint**) and I've never had any issues with it sounding bad or wrong.
