Description

Spread the love

Into the clouds… and beyond! Cloudburst is the first compact, standard-sized stompbox from leading guitar FX wizards Strymon. This ethereal-sounding reverb pedal is designed for experimental musicians who love to drench chords and melodies with immersive, dreamy, modulated ambience — allowing your tone to bloom in a way that draws music out of you effortlessly and keeps you engaged for hours on end!

The Strymon Cloudburst produces some of the most heavenly, shimmering soundscapes that you’ve ever heard from a guitar reverb pedal. That’s because the powerful ambience processing is coupled with a brand-new ‘Ensemble’ engine, capable of creating pads that follow your playing organically. So, if you change pickups or play in a different place on the neck, you’ll get different results.

Trust us, Cloudburst is unlike anything you’ve ever heard or played before — all wrapped in a smaller form-factor that still manages to house full stereo I/O, TRS MIDI, and USB-C connectors on the back panel. Prepare to be thoroughly inspired! You can also make use of the Strymon’s MiniSwitch or MultiSwitch Plus (sold separately) to access additional modes and features such as: Favorite, Freeze, Infinite, or MIDI Mode!

Key Features

Handcrafted, computationally-intense reverb.
Tone and Pre-Delay controls for flexible reverb tone shaping.
Adjustable modulation for moderate to intensely-modulated reverb sounds.
Analogue dry path option for a zero-latency dry signal that is never converted to digital.
Ensemble effect for lush, orchestral-inspired harmonic enhancement.
Dry Kill mode to optionally mute the dry signal, providing control for the wet signal only.
Stereo input and stereo output (requires “TRS to dual TS” adapter or cable for each jack).
Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection.
Separate Freeze and Infinite modes for creating continuously-sustaining sounds.
High-impedance and ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET TRS stereo preamp input.
Fully-featured MIDI capability (Continuous Controller, Program Change, and 300 presets).
USB-C jack for performing firmware updates and connecting to the Strymon Nixie editor software.
+10dBu maximum input level easily handles instrument and line level signals.
High-performance 520MHz ARM Superscalar processor.
32-bit floating point processing.
Super low-noise, high-performance A/D and D/A converters.
Strong and lightweight anodized aluminium chassis.
Designed and built in the USA.

Controls

Decay: Controls the decay time of the reverberated signal. Lower settings reduce the size of the reverberated space.
Ensemble: Analyses the input signal and generates a harmonically rich pad reminiscent of a string section. Three settings: off (no ensemble effect), mp (a medium amount of ensemble for subtle enhancement) and forte (maximum ensemble effect for creating a lush soundscape).
Mix: Influences the reverb mix from fully dry at minimum, to fully wet at maximum. A 50/50 mix occurs at approximately 3 o’clock on the knob.
Pre-Delay: Sets the amount of time before the reverberated signal appears. For the most natural results, use lower mix settings when using higher pre-delay.
Tone: Adjusts the high-end content of the reverb. Lower settings create darker, warmer reverberation. Higher settings are bright and crisp (note: this also affects the presence of the ensemble effect).
Mod: Adds a wide range of modulation to the reverberated signal. Modulation is off at the minimum setting.

Brand

Strymon

Strymon is an American company renowned for producing high-end, digitally-powered guitar effects pedals that deliver studio-quality sound. Founded in 2009 as a part of Damage Control Engineering, Strymon quickly gained a reputation for its innovative approach to effects, particularly in areas like delay, reverb, and modulation. Their pedals are known for their pristine sound quality, versatility, and deep customization options, often utilizing powerful digital signal processing (DSP) to emulate and enhance analogue sounds. Strymon’s products, such as the Timeline delay, BigSky reverb, and Mobius modulation, are highly regarded by both professional and amateur musicians for their ability to create rich, complex soundscapes. The pedals also feature intuitive controls and rugged construction, making them a staple on pedalboards worldwide.

Delay

A delay pedal records your signal and plays it back after a set time, creating echoes that can range from tight, slapback repeats to long, atmospheric trails. It’s one of the most versatile effects, used to thicken tones, add rhythmic depth, or build spacious, ambient layers. Analogue delays offer warm, decaying repeats that blend naturally with your tone, while digital units provide pristine echoes with precise control over time, feedback, and mix levels.

From classic rockabilly and tape-style echoes to modern looping and shimmer effects, delay pedals have become essential tools for shaping sound. They can make solos soar, rhythms pulse, or transform simple chord progressions into cinematic textures. Whether used subtly to add dimension or boldly to create soundscapes, a good delay pedal can completely redefine the feel and atmosphere of your music.

Expression

Expression pedals allow real-time control over specific parameters on compatible guitar pedals, such as volume, delay time, modulation depth, or filter sweep. Used with an expression input, they let players shape effects dynamically with their foot, adding movement and performance control that cannot be achieved with fixed knob settings.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.

Reverb

A reverb pedal is like the rich sauce that ties every flavour on the plate into one smooth experience. It adds depth, warmth, and atmosphere — the sonic equivalent of a perfectly reduced glaze that lingers on the tongue. Whether you’re after the subtle ambience of a cosy café (spring or plate reverb) or the grand echoes of a cathedral (hall or shimmer reverb), this is where your tone breathes and expands. A touch of reverb can turn a dry sound into something lush and inviting — but pour on too much, and it’s all you can taste. Used with finesse, it’s the finishing touch that transforms your tone from plain to unforgettable.
