Strymon/Cloudburst クラウドバースト リバーブ ストライモン

いやー，凄い．空間音満載．

とても綺麗で奥行きのある音が簡単にでます アンビエント系のエフェクターとして一度じっくりと使って頂きたいエフェクター さすがのストライモンです midiで使うと便利です

You can’t go wrong with strymon pedals! It sounds real great!

他のエフェクターとは違う音の品質。これを買ってからStrymonのファンです。

当方、アコギでソロギター用途です。 今までZoomA3を使っていましたが、ピックアップ経由ですと、びっくりするぐらいノイズが無くて驚きました。 肝心なリバーブもとても自然ですし、設定ノブが少ないので調整もしやすいです。 特殊機能のストリングスのようなハモリも、ジブリ系の癒し曲にとても合います。 余韻を短くすることでトランペットのような音にもなるし、長くするとバイオリンのような響きにもなります。 弾いていて自分が楽しめるリバーブですね！

空間演出のペダルなので…ステレオ出力は必須…最初からTRSケーブル、セットで販売して欲しいんだよん！🤣

blueSkyも持ってるんですが、Cloudの音が欲しくなり購入しました。simmerの高音のキラキラ音もいいけど、Cloudの方がより幻想的でアンビエントで良きですね。 しかし、よく考えると、この２台の合計価格で BigSkyが楽に買えるんですよね、おっとイカンイカン(笑)いい買い物しましたよ。価格以上の音がしますね。

徹底的にファンタジックな音です。とても華美な、技巧的な、マニエリスティックな音とも言えますが、ここまで見事に物語性を追究したサウンドは、いつまでも浸っていたいと思わせるに十分な説得力があります。嫌いな人もいるかもしれません。当然でしょう、ここまで旗幟鮮明に個性を追究しているのですから。その志に心を打たれる。

Lo uso como reverb con bajo. Puedes obtener unos sonidos súper tétricos y atmosféricos activando el modo de ensamble. Combinado con un shimmer hace cosas bellísimas. Es de las mejores inversiones que he hecho.

Beautiful reverb! Sell your other verb peddles!

Prior to discovering the Cloudburst, I really had no particular interest in Strymon pedals. 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.

Pedale spettacolare! L'ho aggiunto alla mia catena di Srymon.

It's not cheap, but the Cloudburst is my first Strymon pedal and it totally lives up to the excitement that surrounded its release. It's fantastic quality and it really sounds gorgeous! I used it in rehearsal for the first time today, and the band was blown away by the extra dimension it gives to our sound. It offers everything from a small room echo to almost a string section playing in the Grand Canyon (in Ensemble mode) - so it's a fantastically versatile pedal.
