With the Midnight Edition Cloudburst, Strymon leans all the way into a darker aesthetic, wrapping one of its most inspiring ambient reverbs in a sleek all-Black enclosure and matching hardware. Other than the look, it’s the same pedal you know and love.
At the heart of Cloudburst lies Strymon’s acclaimed Cloud algorithm, a reverb engine capable of spanning everything from intimate, natural room reflections to massive, immersive walls of sound. What sets Cloudburst apart from the crowded field of ambient reverbs is its Ensemble engine that reacts to your playing in real time.
The result is something closer to playing alongside a synthesized string section than using a traditional effect. Subtle settings add harmonic richness and dimension, while more aggressive use creates lush, swelling soundscapes that blur the line between guitar and orchestration.
Connectivity is another area where Cloudburst punches above its compact footprint. Full Stereo I/O ensures it integrates effortlessly into modern rigs, whether you’re running dual amps or recording in stereo. TRS MIDI and USB-C connectivity open the door for preset control, automation, and deeper integration into digital workflows – making it equally at home on a pedalboard or in a studio environment.
