minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoNormally I’d agree, but I had a strymon bigsky for a couple of weeks recently and man, the helix reverbs need some serious work in a firmware update. Bigsky was literally plug it in, pick a setting and sounds great straight away pretty much. Heaps fuller. But the zoia can do some pretty crazy Reverb stuff as well. And you’re right about using it as an instrument. You can use it to build synths you can control with either mono input guitar or a midi controller.
