I haven’t heard a tone from the Cloudburst that I can’t pull from the Big Sky mixed with my Timeline. The Big Sky - Timeline combo is still undefeated in my book. Just flawless pedals.
It's all personal preference of course but I've put many delays with the big sky, line 6, eventide , boss, ehx, among a few others was paired with the el cap for a while loved it ,sold it for the timeline regretted it straight away, after about two weeks sold timeline, and got the " volante " haven't look back since, in my opinion the tape machines from Strymon paired with the big sky are absolutely amazing and two my ears unbeatable combo . Cheers.
True. Except for the fact that the big sky really can’t pull off the ensemble effect. But that might become a gimmick after a while. Just like the shimmer..
@@sandercliquet1007 I don't have the Cloudburst to compare to my BigSky but from what I'm hearing in demos the Ensemble mode on Couldburst seems very similar to the Bloom mode on the BigSky? Check out my video titled "Fauxchestra" on my YT channel and see what you think? The first minute is a boring flat dry synth sequence and then I turn the BigSky mix to 100% wet in Bloom mode and play with the modular's filter settings and turning the three voices on and off in the mix. The result sounds like a pretty decent "fake orchestra" to me!
This vid just reassured me that the big sky is not moving off my board going no place and is still the best sounding reverb pedal on the market still years later 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice! this actuallly could be a shift in upcoming reverb pedals, meaning that many brands will start to add "choral string simulation" instead of shimmer. Probably the new standard for ambient verbs
except they probably haven’t figured it out. It sounds much more complex than just some octave up and down voices. This sounds alive and not awfully synthy like most shimmer reverbs
@@Savvathan totally agree. Remember 10+ plus years ago when shimmer start to become a thing, the bigger brands that added the algorithm sounded pretty bad or sterile. As years passes many brands offer fantastic shimmer options. This new algorithm will be no different than that, maybe in a few years we will see more options,take on this kind of verbs.
Thanks for this comparison. I have a BigSky and while I like the musicality of the Ensemble I think I can happily get by with my Boss SY1 into the BigSky for that big 'synth pad' thing. That said, I saw the Strymon Cloudburst demo vid and towards the end the player compared between strumming over the Neck & Bridge pick-up positions going in to the pedal and the clarity and tonal difference was astounding - this thing has powerful processing under the hood!
Great comparison video. I Don’t have the Cloudburst (yet). I’ve used my BigSky+Timeline with a Boss SY200 synth pedal to get in this neighborhood, but still find the Cloudburst intriguing. So many possibilities!
Thanks for doing this comparison Antoine. I like the Ensemble modes a lot, but I'll stick with the BigSky, I have a Mel9 and SY-1 that can provide string textures as needed.
I cleared out my small board and now it just has the Cloudburst, its expression pedal, and a rotary unit. It's just wonderful. The big board can rest for a while. Update: the rotary pedal has been replaced by an MXR Micro Flanger, which is another terrific effect.
Great demo both sound amazing! I've never cared for shimmer reverbs much but the cloudburst is different doesn't get out of control high or low end sounds.
@@BkBk-gy6vr : I’m sorry, but I haven’t tried it yet. I never use reverbs and/or delays without trails. My Cloudburst is in the rehearsal room, so I can’t just quickly try to find out what you want to know. As soon as I find out, I’ll let you know! 😊
It like having a keyboard playing a pad in the background. If you don’t have a keys player, then this will get you the ambients that you are looking for. The price is waaay high
Sorry but the BigSky sounds much bigger and clearer, much more articulate to my ears, as if there is a blanket on top of CloudBurst pedal. Not sure if this is a problem with the CloudBurst pedal or its algorithms, but can be because of a difference in the impedance of the inputs of the two pedals, or maybe the tone needs to be set a bit higher on the CloudBurst. How are you switching back and forth between the two pedals? If there is a problem in the inputs, i think you have to re-do the video since it's not a fair comparison. Also, i would use a loooper to first record the riff, since slight changes would dramatically affect what these pedals do.
I find it a little disturbing that the effect is abruptly cut off when either pedal is disengaged. Is there a "tails" feature that can be enabled that allows the effect to fade naturally after it's turned off?
I just found the answer to my question, at least on the Cloudburst. This setting is referred to as "Spillover". Two more days until this beast of a pedal is mine. Muahaha
bigsky has still more clarity and richer low-end frequencies. but the cloudburst get about 85% of the big sky sound. as the cloudburst cost 320€ and the bigsky 460-480€ it would be always the bigsky for me - getting so much more algorhythms and better sound for only 140-160€ more 🤷♂
Agreed. Although I wonder how they'd each sound in a mix with other instruments and frequencies to contend with. The "narrower" sound of the Cloudburst might sit better in some contexts.
Ups my innitial commentbwas about the PC bigsky and the pedal, I thought you would compare th cloud on both of em, which pedal and plugin are exactly the same Certain about this pedal tho
From a recording perspective I like the cloudburst better… smoother and better rounded off top-end and less “icey” sounding… and the low-end is clearer.
davidespinosa said: We've been asking for the three big boxes in one unit since they came out. But Strymon is following the profits -- one box per algorithm...
@@nomadicrecovery1586 Until people buy a fractal, or HX, helix, etc and forget about the 10+ year old giant big box pedals... which I own by the way. But do you still use the 12 inch by 12 inch EHX pedals from the 70s? Or do you use more compact ones
Hi Antoine, this is Mathias from Germany. What would you prefer? The Strymon Cloudburst pre or post the BigSky in the chain. Please let me know. Thank u so much 😊
Could you compare the Neunaber Illumine Bloom with Bigsky Cloud? They sound similar to me and to have a cloud like reverb and Wet V1 in one box is a great plus for the Illumine.
The cool early reflexions, where you hear the digital grainyness is gone. There where these cool jittering delays and artifacts. The cloudburst has a boring wash. So clean and lifeless. No burst.
IMO the cloud algorithm was sloppy and muddled. Yes it was huge and "amazing" for the player wanting to just wash away the complete tone of your instrument, performance articulations, dynamics, and all other emotive elements in favor of WASH. This "new" iteration seems a little better voiced, and ensemble (ONSOMBLE not INSEMBLE) is quite nice.
I own a Marshall code 100 and have tons of effects in it. Thought it was enough, but it's not. That quality of hall is marvelous. How would you Chain it? Guitar in the pedal and then into amp?
if you have space in your pedal board and have the money then id go with the big sky. the cloudburst is definitely not a bad buy with its simple functionality and compact size, but you would just have more options with the big sky. for me i have option paralysis so going with a simple cloudburst with not too many options is for me, plus the ensemble works great and is pretty much all i need in the music that i play.
Easy peasy...save money play in the clouds. Someone else said it Big Sky for the studios Cloudburst for live gigs. Curious how this will mix n play with the Keely Dark Side...guess only one way to frind out. 🤘😝🎸
Salut Antoine, juste dommage que les liens pour acheter les Strymon soient sur un site US en $USD, cela dit, les pédales Strymon sont-elles bien sur les guitares acoustiques aussi? Merci
La plupart des gens dans mon audience sont aux USA donc c'est pour ça. Oui, ça peut être très bien avec l'acoustique, peut-être pas tous les effets, mais leurs reverb, certain!
With my headphones, virtually no difference, and if there is it is in favor of the Cloudburst. They are out of stock where I am. I will buy one, once restocked
The cloud algorithm wasn't on the blue sky. But the blue sky has fine traditional algorithms (I especially like the plate). Still, Cloudburst at low decay rates does a good imitation of a room/hall reverb. Shimmer on the blue sky is more shrill than ensemble on cloudburst, although ensemble is over the top in a different way. (They are both ear candy at home but unusable in most band situations.) Cloudburst's mod is more versatile than the very muted mod on blue sky. I have them both, but frankly, I still have a special place in my heart for the Neunaber Immerse, which has a huge variety of sounds in a small package and is the only pedal I have that you cannot make sound bad even if you try. I also like the Specular Tempus because it covers a spectrum of delays as well as reverbs in a modest package. (I like small pedalboards.)
I just today got my Big Sky, and after 1 hr of playing it died :( As I was immediatley in love with the clouds algo I started searching for alternatives. et voila : ). Is there any brand that has a comparable algorythm ( have an Eventide Space, which is great, but not close to the Cloud. Thanks for comparison!
Were you providing enough mA through the power supply? It needs at least 500 i believe, my big sky died when i chronically sent it 350. Causes the DSP chip to fail.
@@holymountainsound yes - powered by a CIOKS DC 7 with 660mAh max - and the manual states a minimum of 330 mAh. I also tried the original power supply but that was too late I guess :D
I sold a Flint and a Big Sky, both completely overhyped both way too plastic DSP and fake to my ear. I replaced them with the dual engine Ventris, which has been my personal favorite for a few years. This Cloudburst may be the first Strymon that I actually like.
I was almost thinking about selling my Ventris and getting the Cloudburst, I don't like having to hook my pedal up to something like a phone to dive into settings, I would miss the outboard spring on it though.
Yes, it's just that I got the pedal so early that I didn't even have access to the instruction manual yet to learn how to turn that function on, so I did without it for this demo, haha.
Everything unique is expensive. If everyone played electronic music, it could be mass produced and be cheap like how microwave ovens and TVs are cheap. Would you want everyone playing music so the price can go down? Maybe that’s the solution
I tend to agree. Strymon’s ad for this suggested a whole new style of reverb was invented with vast uses, but it can obviously be nearly completely covered by the Big Sky which is now a 15 year old, expensive, out dated machine. Even so, the pricing at 5/8th of the Big Sky seems OTT, and that’s the big issue. If pedal size is not an issue, then the Big Sky is way better value despite being old and expensive. Otherwise, this pedal would be very tempting to me, but where I live it’s selling for almost $500…insane.

So many people giving tone critiques that are clearly listening through their phone speakers.
Yup, headphones are the best for this sort of comparison.
