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).
Which brings us to the Cloudburst; a brand new pedal that has been causing waves in guitar culture for several reasons. Firstly, it’s a totally new form-factor for Strymon – a unique compact form factor that brings Strymon’s innovative and unique approach to DSP into its smallest footprint yet. Secondly, it’s a brand new ambient reverb pedal – the genre that, through the BlueSky and BigSky, catapulted the brand into the stratosphere. Later in the video, Pete is joined by DSP/firmware genius, Dean Miller, to spill the tea on the exciting new Ensemble feature. It offers even more ways for guitarists to add new flavors to their soundscape. With these two Strymon wizards’ combined expertise, guitarists will better understand the Cloudburst and how to use it to create their personal sound. These American-made pedals are not only built like tanks, but they offer incredible tones too. History of StrymonThe Rate knob, meanwhile, controls the speed of the LFO, with a range that extends from a super-slow 0.077Hz to a hectic 6Hz when maxed out. The Newest Incarnation - Taking the acclaimed 'Cloud' preset from the larger scale Big Sky pedal and refining it into a more pedalboard-friendly stompbox, making it perfect for guitarists with limited space. Stuffed into a feather-light yet sturdy Aluminium chassis, the Strymon Cloudburst pedal can handle the demands of the modern performer. In addition to these in-depth videos, the Strymon team also showcases their great work culture by sharing a staff jam video. Clearly, the Strymon team is passionate about their work and loves creating innovative guitar pedals. And with their commitment to quality and their desire to help guitarists get the most out of their pedals, it’s no wonder that the Strymon group is one of the most respected names in the guitar effects world.
The Strymon Cloudburst is also versatile, offering a range of sound options that range from subtle to over-the-top. You can create everything from small, intimate soundscapes to expansive, immersive soundscapes. And, with the addition of the Ensemble feature, the possibilities are virtually endless.Pete Celi's new Multi Voice mode for the Brig is also a draw here for creativity; blurring the lines with a reverb-like wash for sustained parts in higher repeat settings. Not the kind of sounds you'd expect from an analogue-style delay, but a very welcome option that has applications from atmospherics to sustained lead guitar work. The result is a compact pedal with three modes that set a new standard for digital BBD emulation. The Cloudburst really is a joy to explore with headphones on a quiet evening, but in Ensemble mode it takes on a whole new meaning. There are two modes to choose from with Mezzo Piano (MP) and Forte. The first adds a subtle bed beneath the reverb signal, while the Forte is capable of swelling synth string ensemble beds. Sometimes a single pedal can be transformative. It can make your tone bloom in a way that draws the music out of you effortlessly and keeps you engaged for hours. Cloudburst simply produces some of the most gorgeous ambient reverb sounds you’ve ever heard. There is no other pedal like it. Celestial String Ensemble Immersive Soundscapes - Incredibly authentic, the Strymon Cloudburst delivers elevated ambient reverb that's bound to cater for everything from lush guitar leads to drone-like synths. Utilising cutting-edge algorithms and a 24-bit 96kHz AD/DA, 520MHz 32-bit floating ARM Superscalar processor, the result is an intricately detailed reflection and reverb tails without needing too much juice on pedalboards.
Okay, so not everyone can integrate atmospheric ambient washes into their music, but most players can benefit from a high-quality flexible reverb pedal – and this is exactly that, but it’s one with plenty of fairy dust should you feel the need. Verdict 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.Not only that but with an innovative layout and extensive MIDI and expression pedal compatibility, users can effortlessly navigate and create the reverb of their dreams in no time at all.
