What You Need To Know
1 That’s bit small for a Strymon pedal, isn’t it?
Yes, this is the first of a new pedal platform and is definitely more pedalboard-friendly.
2 What’s the idea?
Strymon wanted to come up with pedals that were smaller, simpler to operate and less expensive than its larger offerings, while still maintaining the company’s signature sound quality.
3 But it’s yet another reverb…
Why not? Strymon has a great history with reverb pedals and its customers had been asking for reverb in a smaller box, too. This one has taken the Cloud algorithm from the BigSky and tweaked it to make it more usable in varied musical situations.
Strymon has released the first in a new range of smaller, slightly less expensive pedals in the form of the Cloudburst, an ambient reverb pedal. With parallels to how Eventide took the popular Blackhole reverb algorithm from its Space pedal and gave it its own home as one of the dot9 pedal series, the Cloudburst offers an expanded version of the Cloud algorithm as found in Strymon’s flagship BigSky reverb pedal. While the Cloud algorithm is the starting point, it has been reworked to be a more versatile proposition.

The sophisticated range of Swedish-designed guitars made by .strandberg* has lured thousands of players over to the headless side. But the company's new stripped-back Boden Essential model is its strongest play yet for the hearts and minds of mainstream players
Second String
As PRS's more affordable USA-made S2 line moves into its second decade, the series gets a revamp with - at last - USA-made pickups and electronics. What took so long?
PABLO VAN DE POEL
When a band from The Netherlands describes themselves as 'raw, psychedelic Southern rock', it may take a little cognitive processing to work out what that might mean. One listen to DeWolff, however, and you will be duly transported to the 60s for some fuzzed-out rock 'n' roll

Some 35 years since the release of his debut LP, for his 12th record, Blue Electric Light, Lenny Kravitz is back again with equal doses of vigour and vibes, using vintage guitars and the purest valve amps
