In this video, Strymon co-founder and senior DSP engineer Pete Celi takes you on an in-depth tour of Strymon's latest creation, Cloudburst Ambient Reverb, and is joined later in the video by DSP/firmware engineer Dean Miller to discuss the exciting new Ensemble feature.
=======================
Instant Ambient Bliss
Sometimes a single pedal can be transformative. It can make your tone bloom in a way that draws the music out of you effortlessly and keeps you engaged for hours. Cloudburst simply produces some of the most gorgeous ambient reverb sounds you’ve ever heard. There is no other pedal like it.
Celestial String Section
Cloudburst’s Ensemble switch reveals a new world of captivating sounds never heard before from a reverb pedal. Use Ensemble subtly to add harmonically rich otherworldly dimensions to your ambient reverb soundscape, or use it liberally to hear a lush synthesized string section swell under your guitar playing. Ensemble reacts to your entire guitar signal smoothly, organically, and musically for a richly responsive and inspiring playing experience.
From Small Rooms to Infinite Space
Cloudburst is several distinct reverbs in one, with beautifully tuned, natural sounding 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 rooms of any size at the turn of a single knob.
Compact With No Compromises
All the premium components, sound quality, and road worthiness you expect from a Strymon reverb pedal are in Cloudburst’s new compact format. It’s got our discrete JFET analog front end, ultra-quiet signal to noise performance, a powerful ARM Superscalar processor, stereo input/output, and full MIDI control. Featuring unbeatable ease of use and producing some of the finest reverb sounds we’ve ever created, Cloudburst could easily be the only reverb pedal you need on your pedalboard.

They can let the great guitar players have a diddle. And let the salesmen explain how cool it is. But nobody gives you the tour like Pete. - Sounds amazing. Love the tech talk, it's useful to know. Are there going to be a line of the smaller pedals? - Maybe an Oil Can Delay?

Would love just the Tape Echo/Flange side of Deco on its own with perhaps some expanded tape sim capabilities like tape age and damage.

Wow!! Strymon is genius as always . industry standard! This pedal is a game changer. Just moved the bar up. Also so cool the edge is explaining how it works 😊 strymon rocks. I need this pedal now. Take my money
The best pedal you’ve ever made, so musical and usable. So glad I purchased.
Got mine and it is super useful and lots of varying tones can be had out of this. Have had the BluSky since its release and the Cloudburst does what that does and even more. The Ensemble effect has just got to be heard in person. Again well done Strymon! Well done indeed!

Congratulations on another great sounding pedal Strymon Cloudburst.
Cool pedal, nice job Strymon and top notch demo as always, Pete! 👌😎
Thanks for the thorough demonstration. I got one and can't wait to try it out on my electric cello. 🎼🎶🎵🎶 😊
Never thought I would see a Strymon with no secondary controls! Glad to see a trend toward simplicity.
The minimum decay setting produces a nice room ambiance! Super versatile pedal!
The pedal that I've been waiting for. Unbelievable sound.
This is the most impressive reverb system I have ever heard! Can't wait to get one! Thank you so much for this product!
Just when I think I’m done they pull me back in! Lovely sounding pedal and playing!
Beautiful, musical sounds from this pedal. It's on my list! Thanks for a great video!

Beautiful dynamic pedal. Just ordered direct from Strymon through my Reverb account. Will be quite a pleasure to use on current recording project, future projects. Cheers for creating such a wonderful delay reverb effect pedal. 💯
I Love my new Cloudburst pedal. And I must say that I admire the humble brilliance and obvious talent of Mr. Miller. I am a Strymon fan for life!
Sounds fantastic!
Great tutorial and walk through. It’s great to understand the design perspective and how that ties in with actual use. Well done, and thank you!
Love these deep dives!!!! Awesome product… now I need it 😊
such amazing sounds, greats insights from the amazing creators
Excellent overview. Thanks!
This pedal has been a dream with my lap steel, wih and without using a volume pedal. Really great variety of tones on the pedal using humbucker vs tele pickup and guitar tone control ..
Great job thank you - first time I've ever pre-ordered a pedal!
Reeeally cool pedal, great job guys! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent reverb sound. Very natural and wide. Very useful in most situations. But I expected nothing less from such a great company like strymon. And a convincing demonstration too.
Very clear and nice demo! Thanks!
This sounds like my dream reverb ambience device that I can play, so many options in your algorithm design and I'm anxious for my dealer to get one!
Way to go, Thank you for your hard work
This is an astonishing pedal. So many awesome sound possibilities.
Sounds beautiful!
Been waiting for a pedal like this. 😮
Finally a small footprint for Devin Townsend type cleans! Just ordered mine!
That ensemble setting sounds like pure Vangelis. ❤❤❤❤
Nice. Love it!
I love that he is playing an Agile guitar! I just ordered mine this morning through Chicago Music Exchange on Reverb.
Super demo! Strymon Cloudburst… now on my shopping list!
Excellent and thorough walk through of this fine pedal. Sometimes I wish these niche/boutique pedals were easily rentable!
I saw the Andertons video 2 weeks ago, ordered just 15 min into the video. Got it direct from Strymon. I simply love love this Cloudburst. Inspring and versatile.
Waiting on my pre order 💕
Beautiful
Just bought it and I'm learning the beauty of this pedal my first pedal... everyday I'm loving it!! It helps my vocal to be cool and control accompanied by the sound effects...I loved the total mixed of the sound ...adjust as you will to your liking...
Really good overview. I have BigSky, Flint & Deco and now I have a feeling I need this one - the response of Ensemble to pick-up selection towards the end is what chinches it for me . . . superb!
I now know which pedal to buy next, what a stunning peddle.
I've been using my Strymon BlueSky for the past 8 years now. I bought it primarily for it's Shimmer tones. But now with the 'Cloudburst' it seems it'll be a noble upgrade. Thanks Strymon, I'm getting the Cloudburst soon! ♥ 👌🙌

I love the no fuss , you just set it and get it! This will be your best selling pedal in my opinion.
Honestly I love my Cloudburst! To say it is anything short of amazing would be a lie. This pedal has breathed new life into my playing. Even playing just solo, its like you have a whole string ensemble with you. What I love most about this pedal is everyone else can now hear the harmonies that I hear. Seriously this pedal is 100% worth and every player should have this pedal in their kits.

@strymon OMG, IT ARRIVED TODAY AND SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! After only strumming a few chords, a tear actually rolled down my cheek. I can't believe how wonderful and heavenly this little box sounds. I'm beyond pleased. I really love it! Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for showing all the "normal" reverb possibilities : ) (I know people like to drown in reverb - but I use it like "salt" in my "meals")
I've been desiring this pedal since I heard it used by Danish Pete on Anderson's Music demo show. I have a Yamaha SFTA transacoustic that would work well because of louder sound at my guitar and a bit lower from my amp across a small room. So I purchased the Cloudburst two days ago and have had a glorious time fiddling with it. I need a volume pedal next. This pedal has endless possibilities in conjunction with my keyboard with voice notes like choir sounds or brass horns or violins. It should sound bigger than my small room could hold. An orchestra in a blue box. Thanks for the best pedal I've ever needed, Fellas ! YaY !
I am speechless
Thanks for obsoleting BOTH my TC electronics T2 and Hall of fame reverbs
My first Strymon ❤

Learned about a nice pedal and got to steal some licks too. Win/win.
Great stuff..
Very nice tool!
The Bluesky was the first time I messed with the shimmer effect. I never really liked the shimmer on the Bluesky as well as many non-strymon pedals such as the Ventris. I expected the same from this. Pleasantly surprised. This is has an amazing clean room sound in addition to the ambient settings. The real surprise is the variations of everything in between. A clean sounding and unique pedal and the simplest of controls for such a variety of effects. Kudos Strymon. I predict this pedal will have a long distinguished future on it's way to being a classic. Dumping the Ventris for this!. Cheers!

Agile AL-3000 club - what an awesome guitar, I have one in cherry burst :D cool pedal too ;)
I’ve got 7 Strymon pedals and love them all but Cloudburst is a real winner. BTW, you can use a MIDI switcher to get the same trails effect demonstrated at the end of the video. It’s a rock solid addition to the Strymon lineup. I’ve got 2 presets combining BlueSky and Cloudburst….OMG, the effect is amazing.
This is a mjor success!!
With Ensemble Forte you could've named it Badalamenti (tongue in cheek of course)
Beautiful. Definitely figure out a way to acquire this. I should pay some credit cards down for a bit though because I have a problem Lol. This will be mine soon. Oh yes.
Love Pete’s demos! Can’t wait to get this pedal. My one suggestion with all reverb pedals is that people always play these very ethereal types of riffs, whereas many people buying pedals are playing rock. so how does it sound in a more rock setting with drums bass etc…?

That's not a pedal...THATS adding an awesome keyboardist to your band!
I need THIS!Not a pedal guy at all,but looking for something I uset in studio with Logic Pro modulated silververb!5 weeks at Thomann's,I can't wait.
The first time the mod control was used @6:33 sounded beautiful.
I have bigsky & nightsky (with timeline). Got my hands full.
By the way, ten years ago in 2013 the great Strymon Big Sky was released!
People you got to get this pedal,,This pedal is alsome A friend of mine has bought this paddle I have to have it for Studio 67 another great piece of work by strymon❤
That's flippin' cool...and I'm a bass player.
Brutal
I already own a BigSky,… soon I’ll be getting it’s little brother, the Cloudburst.
I'm a big fan of singular or dual purpose pedals. Multi do everything pedals with 10000000 choices is very paralyzing to me, I'm really loving your pedals so far. Keep it simple! I have started with Flint and this pedal and I LOVE them!
And he's demonstrating with a $300 Agile LP copy. That's awesome.
Good pedal.
Thanks for the presentation, it was a very informative trip, thank you. Have you ever considered making a unit dedicated more to travelling mixing engineers than to musicians? I own Big Sky and I am quite happy with it, but a device more capable of pro audio levels and maybe slightly different interface/controllers/switches might be a dream come true. Quality on-board mixing console reverbs are a rarity and such unit would be really helpful in mixing. Thanks in advance ;o)
Now I can see the appeal of this pedal. It’s somewhere in between the blueSky and the bigSky, while still being it’s own thing.
Superb. Just one thing regarding the modulation. While I was watching my hand was instinctively reaching out to slow that modulation rate (Modulation) Rate. Perhaps it would be possible with a future update, via some secondary function to include this possibility? Namely to change that default rate (which may be a bit too high for some ambient needs). Otherwise. Very well done.
I need one😂😂😂❤

Nuuuurrrds. I love these guys though. Got the Cloudburst. Great pedal.
I just love you geeks.
This sounds amazing! The ensemble switch definitely takes to a place the Bigsky doesn't cover. It would be awesome if you could use an expression pedal to sweep from the short room verbs Pete demos with the switch off to an expansive pad with the switch on forte. I checked out the manual and you can sweep between various knob settings like other strymon pedals, but it doesn't mention the switch. To clarify: can you sweep between off and forte in an interpolated manner (ppp->pp->p->mp->mf->f)?

Hey there! There's no in between values for ensemble, just off, mezzopiano, and forte.

Greetings ShyuuzMaster! Sean Halley here - yes, Ensemble is available at any decay setting. During all of the content production, I found myself playing with the predelay quite a bit more, when I had short decay and Ensemble turned on. I can see that being a real help in the looping stuff, and the film stuff with Carter, if you're still up to that. Hope you're great!
