The Ensemble switch, which is built into Cloudburst, takes you to a whole new world of ambiance that goes beyond the imagination of existing reverb pedals. By adding Ensemble, you can add a new dimension of depth with rich harmonies to ambient reverb or add a lushly generated string section to your guitar. The Ensemble effect is infinitely organic and natural, adding musical and beautiful layers to the entire guitar signal and bringing out the player's creativity.

From a closet space to an infinite universe
Cloudburst contains multiple different reverbs in a single unit. The Decay knob creates beautiful spaces with a variety of reverbs, from the natural resonance of small rooms and closets to the grand swells of infinite space. Just turn the Decay knob to provide studio-class quality room reverbs of all sizes.

■ Small but with no compromise on features
All the premium components, sound quality, and features that Strymon reverb fans have come to expect have been packed into the new, compact form factor of the Cloudburst. It features a discrete JFET analog front end, excellent S/N performance of 116dB, a powerful ARM superscalar processor, stereo inputs and outputs, and full MIDI control functionality. It is simple and easy to use; it is a high-end model that is on par with existing high-end mo.dIt and has been designed to meet the needs of both beginners and high-level players.

■Other controls
In addition to the Ensemble and Decay controls mentioned above, you can also use the Pre-Delay control to add a time delay between the dry and reverb signals, the Tone control to adjust the high-frequency range of the reverb, and the Modulation control to modulate the time of each delay line that creates the reflections in the reverb tank.
