Too large, too expensive, too ethereal, and too impractical for the type of reverb pedal I would actually need and consider placing on a pedalboard. But the Cloudburst offers something entirely different. It would be easy to dismiss it as a just a stripped-down version of a single Big Sky algorithm, but that's not the case at all. The Cloudburst actually offers a handful of different reverb types across its simple control layout, and it does a lot more than just "praise & worship" ambient reverb. BUILD QUALITY & CONTROLS: First off, the Cloudburst is surprisingly compact. In pictures, I always assumed it would be a mid-size pedal - something like a Way Huge pedal. In real life, it has the width of BOSS compact pedal, but is actually shorter from footswitch to jacks. Also, it has top-mounted jacks, which allow for even tighter placement on pedalboards, though I will point out that real estate is tight up there with the I/O jacks, another 1/4" jack for external controls, a 9V jack, a mono/stereo switch, and a USB-C jack! Just keep that in mind if you use angled cables that you'll have to be a little creative to get everything to fit properly. The controls are very simple and similar to other reverb pedals. You have MIX knob that changes the amount of effect, a PRE-DELAY that changes when the reverb effect starts to come in, and controls for decay (length of reverberation), and TONE/MOD (modulation) controls. The footswitch is soft kind that started appearing on boutique pedals in the 2010's, and the knobs have a nice resistance to them. Everything feels great and is easy to access and adjust. The pedal itself has metallic blue enclosure, which I believe is aluminum. It's lighter than you'd imagine, but not so light that it will get kicked around. THE SOUNDS: The Cloudburst is based on the Cloud algorithm from Big Sky, and I'll happily disclose that I have never played a Big Sky and cannot compare. However, the development team indicated that the algorithm was redesigned and tweaked for this pedal, and the efforts show. This is not just one type of reverb. With MIX between 12:00 and 2:00 and the DECAY set low, you actually get an excellent room-style reverb. This gets into "hall" territory as you increase DECAY. The fact that they programmed this to also function as a straight, no-frills reverb that is also capable of ambient soundscapes was a major selling point for me. It transforms the pedal from "expensive one-trick novelty" to "useful musical tool". But the ENSEMBLE switch is clearly the differentiating feature of the Cloudburst, and its Strymon doing what they do best. As many reviewers have noted, Cloudburst really isn't a shimmer pedal, even if it can be used in that way. When you flip the mod switch to mP (mezzo piano) or forte, you get increasing amounts of what I would describe as "orchestral", synth-like accompaniment that trails your signal. The reverberated effect does have overtones with higher octaves, but that isn't the prominent feature like it would be with a shimmer pedal. In fact, if you find shimmer pedals too bright or grating, the Cloudburst might be a nice alternative to try out. The DECAY is capable of very long sustain times - I believe they say it is 50 seconds, but whatever it is, it's enough. You can also hook up an external footswitch that works like a "freeze" or "infinite" button. Play a chord, hit the footswitch after the effect comes in, and it will hold it like a beautiful orchestral drone. You can then play over this, but note that the additional notes will not the reverberated effect (unless supplied from another pedal in front of Cloudburst). The freeze effect works, but for a new user like me, there are some quirks to getting the timing right so that you hold the sound as you are intending. I can also confirm that while Strymon wants you to buy their $50 MiniSwitch to use with it, other momentary switches like the BOSS FS-5 do work. CONCLUSION: It's generally wrong to imply that any single piece of gear is a "game-changer", or that it will fundamentally change the way you play your instrument. Cloudburst is just a reverb pedal, but it's such a unique and beautiful approach to that effect that I do find it particularly inspiring. While I got primarily for electric guitar, it EXCELS with acoustic-electrics, and I'm sure could be used with any number of other instruments with great success. Strymon were smart in making a pedal that could be set to do more traditional and subtle types of reverb, in addition to the Cloud ensemble effect, which is truly incredible. Review: Strymon Cloudburst is Ambient Perfection - The Strymon Cloudburst is an absolutely stunning ambient reverb pedal that has redefined my approach to creating lush soundscapes. While the gorgeous reverb tails alone are worth the price of entry, what truly sets it apart is the unique Ensemble engine, which dynamically analyzes your playing and generates organic, synthesizer-like harmonic pads that bloom under your guitar signal. This feature turns simple chords into full, evolving, string-section textures that feel incredibly musical and responsive, making it an inspiring tool for songwriting and creating huge sonic depth. ## Features - Stereo Reverb Guitar Pedal with Ensemble Switch Decay - Mod Controls - Pre-delay - Tone - Mix ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BSHBZVBS | | Amperage | 0.000250 | | Audio Output Effects | Reverb | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,036 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #17 in Electric Guitar Delay & Reverb Effects | | Brand Name | Strymon | | Color | Blue | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (256) | | Hardware Interface | USB Type C | | Item Dimensions | 4.8 x 3.35 x 2.55 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 4.8"L x 3.35"W x 2.55"H | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Electronics | | Item Weight | 0.75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Strymon | | Manufacturer Part Number | Z120-CLOUD | | Model Name | Cloudburst | | Model Number | CLOUDBURST | | Power Source | DC Power Supply | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm | | UPC | 852571008387 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 9 Volts | | Warranty Description | 2-year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Strymon - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 0.75 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 4.8"L x 3.35"W x 2.55"H - **Style:** Boom microphone stand with a telescoping boom arm ## Images ![Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Pedal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fyKZfLI4L.jpg) ![Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Pedal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fU5Ktd4CL.jpg) ![Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Pedal - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pX0beM80L.jpg) ![Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Pedal - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81miuWNaaTL.jpg) ![Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Pedal - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IV-gotdlL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with a power cord?** A: No, power cord is not included. **Q: Has anyone tried this with synths?** A: I have not tried this pedal with synths, only guitar. However... In software, I have coupled synths with reverb plugins with functionality very similar to this Strymon pedal. So I can offer the following thoughts. The Strymon Cloudburst is particularly good at long, spacious, ambient-style reverbs. The pedal sounds glorious with guitar, especially when I put a volume pedal between the guitar and the pedal so as to provide gradual swells, very much like a synth. I would think that this pedal would also sound absolutely glorious with synths as well. Two pieces of advice I would offer, based partly on my experience with guitar+Cloudburst and partly on my experience with software synth+long-reverb. Both entail avoiding the final sound getting too dense and cluttered. First - one of the features of the Cloudburst is the "Ensemble" mode, which adds harmonic content to the output. It sounds more like a string or voice ensemble than a shimmer-type reverb. It's been my experience that if the input has a lot of harmonic overtone content (such as dense power chords with overdrive/distortion), when the Ensemble mode adds even more overtone content, the overall sound gets a bit thick and muddy (to my ears). So when choosing a synth sound as an input, I'd suggest opting for more harmonically simple base sounds rather than something that's already harmonically dense. Second - I find that guitar sounds that already have a lot of sustain (such as compression + distortion) can get cluttered when combined with the Cloudburst's long reverb tails. So I would imagine you'd experience something similar with a synth sound that has long decay. Obviously, your experience and preferences dictate your music. These are just my observations and hopefully they're somewhat helpful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Orchestral accompaniment for your guitar, but so much more! *by S***1 on March 18, 2025* Prior to discovering the Cloudburst, I really had no particular interest in Strymon pedals.

This is my first high end reverb pedal and it has really surprised me. What surprised me most is the first setting without the ensemble mode. I thought I wouldn't use it, but its a beautiful reverb and I find I use it a lot. The ensemble is great fun and is good for filling out spacious guitar sounds. I play in a 3 piece bass, guitar, drums, and having the ensemble on subtly, can fill out the sound. I am also using it in a dual mono chain, with the Cloudburst going to one amp. This keeps the dry signal much stronger and avoids the effect being too overwhelming. I'm considering looking into MIDI control of the pedal for things like the Freeze setting, switching between the 3 reverb types and the mix level. ## Frequently Bought Together - Strymon Cloudburst Ambient Reverb Guitar Pedal with Ensemble Engine, for Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synths, Vocals and Keyboards - D'Addario Accessories Guitar Pedal Power Supply - DC 9V Power Cord - 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals - Pedalboard Power Supply - PW-CT-9V - Strymon Mini Switch Preset and Tap Tempo Footswitch for Guitar Effects Pedals --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/509556573-strymon-cloudburst-ambient-reverb-pedal](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/509556573-strymon-cloudburst-ambient-reverb-pedal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
