New Strymon Cloudburst Midnight Edition Ambient Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal

From Strymon:
Paint It Black.
We've done a few limited runs of some of our most iconic pedals in a sleek black Midnight finish over the past few years, each featuring black knobs and a blacked out enclosure.

These batches have always been limited to a small number of units, intended for the player that loves the idea of a monochromatic pedalboard. Despite their minimalist styling, the sounds waiting to be released from these limited edition pedals are as colorful and inspiring as ever.

Introducing Midnight Edition Cloudburst, available now while supplies last. Powered by our acclaimed Cloud algorithm and new Ensemble engine, Cloudburst encompasses a wide range of tones, with everything from intimate natural spaces to massive harmonically rich walls of sound available at the twist of a knob. It's the ultimate ambient pedal, and now you can get your hands on one in a limited all-black Midnight finish.

Into The Clouds…And Beyond
Sometimes a single pedal can be transformative, allowing your tone to bloom in a way that draws music out of you effortlessly and keeps you engaged for hours on end. The simple look and feel of Cloudburst belies the power underneath the hood, because it produces some of the most gorgeous ambient reverb tones and soundscapes that you've ever heard out of a guitar reverb pedal – there's literally nothing else quite like it.

Instant Ambient Bliss
Coupled with the powerful ambience processing is a brand-new Ensemble engine, capable of creating pads and soundscapes that follow your playing organically – so if you change pickups or play in a different place on the neck you get different results. It's 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.

Celestial String Section
Cloudburst's Ensemble switch reveals a whole new world of captivating sounds never previously heard from a reverb pedal. Use it subtly to add harmonically rich and otherworldly dimensions to your ambient reverb soundscapes, or use it liberally to hear a lush synthesized string section swell under your guitar playing. Ensemble reacts to your entire guitar signal in an organic and musical way, delivering a richly responsive and uniquely inspiring playing experience.

From Small Rooms to Infinite Spaces
Cloudburst gives you multiple reverb experiences, with beautifully-tuned and natural small spaces at one end of the Decay knob and vast, expansive atmospheres at the other. As you turn the Decay control numerous internal parameters are automatically adjusted, allowing this ambient reverb pedal to produce outstanding studio-quality spaces of any size at the turn of a single knob.

Compact With No Compromises
All of the premium components, sound quality and road-worthiness you expect from a Strymon reverb pedal are here in Cloudburst's new compact format. Featuring unbeatable ease of use and some of the finest reverb sounds we've ever created, Cloudburst could easily be the only reverb pedal you need on your pedalboard.

Controls
Decay: Controls the duration of the reverb tail and transforms the character of the reverb via continuous under-the-hood adjustments.
Ensemble: Continuously analyzes 48 frequency bands as you play, generating upper harmonic partials for a gorgeous string ensemble-like expansion of your reverberated signal.
Mix: Adjusts the reverb mix from full dry to full wet (50/50 at approximately 3 o'clock). Power-up modes allow kill-dry and an analog dry path option.
Pre-Delay: Adds space between your dry signal and the reverb to maintain clarity at higher Mix and Decay settings.
Tone: Controls the amount of high frequencies within the reverb.
Modulation: Mod control operates as modulation depth from minimum to noon, and as modulation speed from noon to maximum.
