![]() ![]() Parametersĭespite its compact form factor, the Cloudburst offers stereo I/O along with inputs for an expression pedal and MIDI controllers.The Decay knob controls not only the duration of the reverb tail, but also carries out a number of adjustments to the algorithm behind the scenes, causing the pedal’s tonal character to change continuously throughout the parameter’s range. A toggle switch offers Mezzo Piano and Forte modes, with the former providing a subtle enhancement of the reverb signal, and the latter capable of delivering huge synthesised string ensemble-style effects. This allows the effect to vary depending on factors such as pickup selection, picking position, and the incoming signal’s overall volume envelope. The Ensemble engine works by continuously analysing 48 frequency bands and generating harmonic partials for each of them based on the dynamics and tone of the user’s playing. There was also a focus on simplicity and ease of use, resulting in the pedal being equipped with just five controls with no secondary or hidden functions. The company say that their aim with Cloudburst was to create the best-sounding single algorithm reverb possible, providing the sort of effects that are possible with the BigSky’s Cloud machine at high decay settings whilst also being versatile enough to offer more natural reverbs with a much shorter decay time. Dedicated to creating ambient reverb effects, the device is powered by the company’s new Ensemble engine, which is capable of creating pads and soundscapes that responsively follow the user’s playing. ![]() Strymon have announced the launch of their latest effects pedal, Cloudburst. ![]()
