Ambient fans are rejoicing with the release of the Strymon Cloudburst, but will it make the cut for my board, and do YOU need one?
The fine folks at Strymon kindly sent over their new Cloudburst, and after putting it through its paces live this weekend, I’m diving deep into the sounds and settings. I wanted to highlight how it fits in the collection of Strymon reverb pedals I have in the studio. And while this isn’t a comparison video, I’ll touch on the contexts and reasons you might choose either the Strymon Cloudburst, Flint or BigSky.
Big thanks to Fender and Gretsch for providing both guitars played in the opening sketch. The sparkle of the Gretsch 5422TG paired so well with the bright ambience of Cloudburst, while the Fender Player Telecaster delivers that classic Tele pop at more subtle reverb settings.
Enjoy the intro sketch where we go on a sonic journey ending in massive guitar melodies, and then check out the exhaustive sound samples section to see all that Cloudburst is capable of.
