Strymon: Cloudburst Ambient Reverb | Full Demo and Review

We tested out the new Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb pedal in our studio Noise Machines. It's a lush, granular-sounding digital reverb pedal that ranges from a short slap, to a warm, infinite textural bath.

You’ll most likely recognise the Strymon name from their incredibly popular Blue Sky reverb (which also comes as a plugin), and some of the reverb tones in this brand new box, Cloudburst, may even sound a little familiar. The Blue Sky is a mainstay on pedals all over town, and hey, the Cloudburst may even replace it, OR be added in addition.

The Cloudburst covers all the whole reverb spectrum from a luscious reverb wall to a straight up nice and wiggly modulation. It's fairly small and simple looking unit with a Decay knob to control your reverb length, a Mix knob for your wet and dry setting, a Pre-delay control to temporarily postpone the onset of reverb, a complementary-voiced Tone control, and a Modulation control to move your reflections.
