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.
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. Prepare to be inspired!
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 Strymon has ever created, Cloudburst could easily be the only reverb pedal you need on your pedalboard.
TRUE/BUFFERED BYPASS - Cloudburst lets you choose between electromechanical relay-switched true bypass for a 100% untouched and unprocessed signal when the pedal is not engaged (which is the default), or premium buffered bypass, which preserves your signal's integrity by preventing the high frequency roll-off that can happen due to longer cable runs.
JFET INPUT - Uncompromised dynamics and feel. Exceptional touch sensitivity and responsiveness. Cloudburst feels just as good as it sounds, thanks to a high-impedance, ultra-low noise and discrete Class A JFET preamp input.
MOVING IN STEREO - Even though it might look like it's a standard mono effect, there's no need to make compromises when it comes to signal routing or pedal placement with Cloudburst - it's a stereo reverb pedal with full stereo in/out capabilities. Equipped with a single TRS input and TRS output jack, the pedal keeps to a compact form factor while still giving you the option to use it in stereo.
A dedicated rear panel Input switch allows you to determine the audio routing, selecting between Mono In → Mono Out, Mono In → Stereo Out, or Stereo In → Stereo Out (stereo in and out requires a TRS cable for each jack).
ARM PROCESSOR - An evolution in technology led by mobile phones and laptop computers now allows Strymon pedals to perform more simultaneous processes than ever before, and with significantly less power draw. That means more processing power for every sonic nuance, and less power consumption on your pedal board.
• Low impedance TRS stereo output
• Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection
• USB jack for controlling via MIDI from a computer or for performing firmware updates
• Premium JFET analog front end
• Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters provide uncompromising audio quality
• 520MHz ARM Superscalar processor
• 32-bit floating point processing
• 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response
• Audio Input Impedance: 1M Ohm
• Audio Output Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Typical signal to noise ratio: 116dB
• Strong and lightweight anodized aluminum chassis
• Power requirements: maximum 9 volts DC center-negative, with a minimum of 250mA (power supply NOT included)
• Dimensions (D x W x H): 4.6" x 2.7" x 2.5" (11.7 cm x 6.9 cm x 6.4 cm)
• Designed and built in the USA

Cloudburst Features
MIDI - Cloudburst features full MIDI implementation and 300 presets, allowing you to control it remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via the EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Remotely bypass or engage the pedal, automate decay time or other knob adjustments in your DAW or recall unique presets for each song on your setlist - the possibilities with MIDI are limitless.TRUE/BUFFERED BYPASS - Cloudburst lets you choose between electromechanical relay-switched true bypass for a 100% untouched and unprocessed signal when the pedal is not engaged (which is the default), or premium buffered bypass, which preserves your signal's integrity by preventing the high frequency roll-off that can happen due to longer cable runs.
