    This is the best demo of this pedal I've seen so far. For me, this pedal covers enough ground that I could easily work it into the mix of genres I explore on guitar. I'll run my bass guitar and my flute through it as well and see what might be possible. I tend to be endlessly curious to begin with and could see myself spending hours exploring via this pedal. They might have to break down my door and force me to eat and sleep. So be it!

    Oh, i thought Strymon had done with the little format pedals.
    So this comes to me as a complete surprise and a kind of shock.
    The cloudburst seems to contradict as well as compliment my trusted Blue Sky. Sometime, in some future, the Blue Sky will meet a Cloudburst, living together in my effect chain and creating magic.
    Very professional, informative, and seductive demo Bill, thank you!

  • @jdjk7
    @jdjk7 Год назад +3

    I like that you can mellow out the Ensemble tone with the Tone knob.
    Also, the way the Ensemble feature works is rather interesting. According to Strymon, the input signal is analyzed in 48 separate frequency bands, and each of those bands is independently responsible for generating a harmonic partial in the Ensemble tone. So, not only will the effect respond to your attack and dynamics, but it will respond to differences in your tone/harmonic content too. I'm interested to try this for bass.

    Apparently, the way the Mod knob works is that up to 12 o'clock, the depth increases, and then past 12 o'clock, the depth stays high while the rate increases.

  • @michaelbreach5862
    @michaelbreach5862 Год назад +1

    I was so happy to see your video pop up on this! I just got mine yesterday- It's pretty awesome! Couple of things - I wouldn't have it be my only reverb in a chain since its specialized - have it along with something more basic. If you have an HX stomp or something like it, I HIGHLY recommend placing it in the FX loop. This way you can add modulations before or after the Cloudburst. For instance, A phaser/filter sound with a slow rate sounds other worldly! I would also recommend playing around with its position in your chain of effects. It's really a reverb/synth hybrid. imagine a Boss slicer chopping those long decay times. It's really an inspiring pedal to have and I think its the most interesting pedal Ive gotten in a long time.

    @mikejohnstone8638 Год назад +1

    How is it for a less affected kinda classic reverb sound? It'd be nice to hear some of the decay, pre-delay, tone and mix settings that are somewhere between zero and half way. I like simplicity and if one unit could do that and then go full ambient on certain things like you DID demonstrate it could be ideal for me. I could get the 3 or 4 sounds I would actually use out of a Big Sky in a much smaller simpler footprint.

  • @danepaulstewart8464
    @danepaulstewart8464 Год назад

    LOVELY! Another real gem from Strymon. This one is REALLY right up our alley.
    The ensemble effect is the real magic here, I think. Long reverbs can be had elsewhere, but bring these all together and I think this is going to be a really useful little box.

  • @PeteKowalsky

  • @SKY_DWELLER333
    @SKY_DWELLER333 Год назад

    Loved what you did with the mix knob all the way wet! I actually had a similar idea only kind of the opposite. I think it would be cool to set the pre-delay all the way to a minimum, have your reverb tail pretty lengthy, mix up all the way wet, and then either of the two ensemble settings. low or high intensity. That would make for some beautiful ethereal swells and Long pad/string tones. I’m sure the settings would still be breathtaking even with the ensemble Mode switched to off, but that would probably be more similar to something you could get with the big sky already. That would also (I think,) very much enhance the subtleties of the modulation knob. Thank you so much for this demonstration! It honestly seems a little counterintuitive to purchase after living with a big sky for several years, but it certainly has a character all of its own so who knows, I still might take the plunge. I feel like they would work great in tandem with one another as well. you do some of the best pedal demonstrations on RUclips. thank you.

    Always thought Strymon make great effects pedals, but have found them a little pricey for my budget. I'm thinking the Cloudburst is going to be the first Strymon device that I'll be shelling out the bucks for. It can do so many of the things I'm looking for in a single unit. I'm gonna' have to sell something to raise the money to get one.

    Great demo Bill - love the sounds and the form factor. I hope Strymon produce more pedals in this more compact size. I have a Big Sky and a Blue Sky, plus a host of other reverb pedals, so I can't justify buying a Cloudburst. I bet it sells well, though. Another winner from Strymon.

    Nice! So Strymon finally made a Neunaber Immerse Mk.II ! 😆

    This is a beautiful sounding pedal. I'm still figuring out the Volante and Nightsky and the biggest reason I've been dragging my feet on that is because I didn't know about the EHX tri parallel mixer.
