Strymon Cloudburst Reverb - Effect for Guitars

Product Information

Power Up Modes [Hold Footswitch on Power-Up and Tweak Controls simultaneously!] - Ensemble Off : True Bypass / Ensemble forte : Buffered Bypass, MIX : Expression / Favourite / Freeze / Infinite / MIDI, TONE : Digital Dry / Analog Dry / Dry Kill, MOD : Spillover On / Off. Since the Riverside and Sunset all new Strymon pedals come with a JFET input stage which gives you more responsiveness and feel for something that is essentially mostly a digital effect. The touch / feel and dynamics of these pedals are just incredibly and are enabled by that supercomputing power which allows so much detail to be processed and delivered at any given time.

The Decay knob on Cloudburst does some serious heavy lifting. Not only does it control the duration of the reverb tail, but it also dramatically transforms the character of the reverb via numerous continuous under-the-hood adjustments, allowing you to discover countless new musical and inspiring sounds at different points all along the dial. Even tiny adjustments of this knob can yield noticeable changes to the character of the reverb. Ensemble bit 96kHz AD/DA, 520MHz 32bit floating ARM Superscalar processor = 20Hz to 20kHz 116dB S/NR and guarantees superb low noise/high performanceReaders will know that I’m almost entirely a Reverb Workstations kind of guy - while I do have slot #38 specially set aside for these kind of experiments - so there will be a Srymon Cloudburst going in on that slot in place of the current Zelzah incumbent. That slot was always intended for primarily additional Reverbs and Modulations - and is set to be a fairly high-rotation slot! Versatility: This pedal can do it all! It works with guitars, keyboards, drums… you name it. It’s the ultimate Swiss Army Knife of reverb pedals. Stamp on the Clipping footswitch and it engages the alternative clipping options, all six of which are accessed via an oxblood-coloured rotary knob.The other footswitch bypasses/engages the effect. Alternatively, you can connect an expression pedal for continuous control over any of the knobs, or set up various footswitch functions. A single footswitch can give you access to one preset, while a triple footswitch lets you access three presets.

Modulation of the reverb’s delay line lengths can be introduced by a Mod control, adding some movement to the effect, with the higher end of its range capable of providing sci-fi style pitch modulation. Controls the amount of high frequencies within the reverb, with a damped high end at minimum to no damping at maximum. Set the Decay knob to tailor the sound of your reverb, or control it with an expression pedal to create dramatic effects in combination with long Decay times and Ensemble. Modulation

I/O

Our most profound moment with the Cloudburst however, happened when we paired it with other esoteric pedals, such as the Chase Bliss Mood or the Hologram Electronics Microcosm. In tandem with either of these, the Cloudburst is transformed into a glitchy weapon of lo-fi ambience that Thom Yorke could write an album on top of. The Cloudburst is designed to offer a range of reverb options, from beautifully-tuned and natural small spaces to vast, expansive atmospheres. With a single turn of the Decay knob, you can easily adjust numerous internal parameters, resulting in studio-quality reverb sounds of any size. This makes the Cloudburst an ideal choice for musicians who want a versatile and easy-to-use reverb pedal that can deliver outstanding results. Durability: This pedal is built like a tank. The sturdy metal casing can handle life on the road, so you don’t have to worry about breaking it during a show. It’s the ultimate workhorse of reverb pedals. On further inspection, you’ll notice that this box is running not one, but two algorithms simultaneously. Better still, with the very flexible routing options and generous I/O, this multi-effects unit will thrive in any situation you wish to throw at it. Cloudburst’s Ensemble switch reveals a new world of captivating sounds never heard before from a reverb pedal. Use Ensemble subtly to add harmonically rich otherworldly dimensions to your ambient reverb soundscape, or use it liberally to hear a lush synthesized string section swell under your guitar playing. Ensemble reacts to your entire guitar signal smoothly, organically, and musically for a richly responsive and inspiring playing experience. From Amp-In-A-Closet to Infinite Space
