Product Information

There are no secondary functions of any controls here to learn; Strymon has successfully fitted a lot of functionality into the Brig's compact dimensions.The depth and rate controls for modulations on the Timeline and Brigadier Modulation are not featured here, instead there's a Mod control to streamline things on the control side, but as usual with Stymon it's deceiving when it comes to what's going on under the hood.

But the real cherry on top of these videos is when Strymon’s co-founder and reverb wizard, Pete Celi, takes you on a guided tour of the Cloudburst. He shares his secret sauce and enthusiasm for crafting the ultimate reverb experience and gives you a VIP behind-the-scenes look at what makes the Cloudburst a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection. Its design is quintessential Catalinbread, with a four-knob enclosure and some cool artwork. The sounds the STS-88 is designed for can be musically unobtrusive and subtle or huge and ambient, but dialling them in looks a breeze.

Specifications

Use it subtly to add harmonically rich and otherworldly dimensions to your ambient reverb soundscapes, or use it liberally to hear a lush synthesized string section swell under your guitar playing. Featuring unbeatable ease of use and some of the finest reverb sounds we’ve ever created, Cloudburst could easily be the only reverb pedal you need on your pedalboard. Pre-Delay and Mix controls are also present, and behave much as you’d expect, with the latter offering a Kill-Dry mode for use in parallel effects loops, and an analogue dry path option, both of which are accessible via additional power-up modes. I/O Ultra-low noise, high-performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters for uncompromising audio quality Eventide rightly calls the H90 an ‘inspiration engine’; it takes you on a journey through time and space, and who knows where you’ll end up? It promises inspiration and delivers it in spades; keeps you entertained for days.

Pete Celi's new Multi Voice mode for the Brig is also a draw here for creativity; blurring the lines with a reverb-like wash for sustained parts in higher repeat settings. Not the kind of sounds you'd expect from an analogue-style delay, but a very welcome option that has applications from atmospherics to sustained lead guitar work. The result is a compact pedal with three modes that set a new standard for digital BBD emulation. Despite its compact form factor, the Cloudburst offers stereo I/O along with inputs for an expression pedal and MIDI controllers.The Decay knob controls not only the duration of the reverb tail, but also carries out a number of adjustments to the algorithm behind the scenes, causing the pedal’s tonal character to change continuously throughout the parameter’s range.

I/O

Use the included power supply or an adapter with the following rating: 9VDC, center negative, 250mA minimum. Stamp on the Clipping footswitch and it engages the alternative clipping options, all six of which are accessed via an oxblood-coloured rotary knob.The other footswitch bypasses/engages the effect.

User-friendly interface: This pedal is so simple that even your grandma could figure it out. The interface is straightforward and easy-breezy, so you can focus on making music, not learning how to use a pedal.Eventide’s rich history of effects is on full display here, some old, some new, and playing with two algorithms simultaneously opens up a world of possibilities in sound-mangling.
