Strymon Cloudburst

Sometimes, a single pedal can be pivotal, allowing your sound to flourish in a way that effortlessly extracts the music and keeps you engaged for hours on end. The simple look and feel of the Cloudburst belies the power under the hood, as it produces some of the most stunning ambient reverb sounds and soundscapes you’ve ever heard from a guitar reverb pedal—there is literally nothing else like it.

Along with powerful ambient processing, there is a brand-new Ensemble engine capable of creating pads and soundscapes that respond organically to your playing style, so if you switch pickups or play at a different spot on the neck, you get different results. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever listened to or played before, all wrapped in a smaller format that still manages to house full stereo I/O connectors, TRS MIDI, and USB-C on the back panel.

• Capable of transitioning from the smallest authentic reverb sounds to an almost infinite decay, this product features a new Ensemble mode for harmonic pads and instant soundscapes that organically follow your performance. The Freeze and Infinite modes are accessible via the MIDI TRS expression input. It offers powerful controls for Pre-Delay, Tone, and Modulation. A switch on the rear panel allows for Mono-to-Mono, Mono-to-Stereo, and Stereo-to-Stereo configurations. True stereo input and output are provided via TRS jacks for easy connections. Complete MIDI integration enables you to save up to 300 presets, control parameters in real-time, and much more. The TRS MIDI/Expression pedal input allows for easy control of most pedal parameters. An integrated USB-C connection facilitates firmware updates, MIDI control, and connection to Nixie. The high-quality JFET analog input circuit ensures superb responsiveness. Dimensions: 117 x 69 x 64 mm.
