The Strymon Cloudburst takes ambient reverb far beyond traditional space and atmosphere, combining stunning studio-quality reverbs with Strymon's innovative Ensemble engine to create lush harmonic textures, evolving pads and orchestral-style soundscapes that respond naturally to your playing.
At its core, Cloudburst is an exceptionally musical reverb pedal. From intimate room ambience and natural reflections through to vast cinematic washes, the Decay control intelligently adjusts multiple parameters behind the scenes, allowing you to move seamlessly from subtle ambience to expansive atmospheric soundscapes.
Engage the unique Ensemble function, and Cloudburst becomes something entirely different. Rich harmonic layers bloom alongside your playing, creating everything from subtle shimmer-like textures to full-bodied synthesized string sections that track your guitar organically and musically.
With stereo operation, MIDI control, USB-C connectivity and Strymon's renowned audio quality, Cloudburst delivers professional-grade ambient sounds in a pedalboard-friendly format.
Some reverb pedals create space. The Cloudburst creates inspiration.
What makes this pedal special isn't simply the quality of the reverb, although that's exceptional. It's the way the Ensemble engine reacts to your playing. Unlike traditional shimmer reverbs that add a predictable layer on top of your signal, Cloudburst generates harmonic content that feels organic and alive, almost as if another instrument is performing alongside you.
The result is a pedal that's equally at home adding subtle depth to worship and ambient music, creating cinematic soundtrack textures, or inspiring completely new songwriting ideas.
For players who already own a standard reverb pedal, Cloudburst offers something genuinely different. For ambient players, it may well become the centrepiece of the entire pedalboard.
