[LeonTodd]

What's your favourite Strymon pedal?

[philgraves]

9:30 one of the most beautiful chords I've ever heard in my life!!

[BaconFire]

The sound you get at the 17:00 mark when you switched to Forte is the reason I purchased this pedal. It translates so nicely in live setting. I use it with my electric guitar during worship service for song transitions, quite interludes and huge one note melody leads. Just paints a huge landscape of emotion and spirit. Thanks for the demo man :)

[KipCount]

Thanks for demonstrating how killer this reverb is with higher gain tones. It's not just for ambient!

[DisruptedSinner]

That pedal is EPIC!! I love its versatility and the ambient sounds are out of this universe. Thank you, Leon!!

[keithbriscoe]

Instant movie soundtrack (among other benefits/sounds). I love my Cloudburst.

[JesseN]

Best demo I’ve seen of this pedal. I love when you really cranked the mix of the effect to really show off what it does. The reverb itself doesn’t impress me like other Strymon reverbs but the ensemble mode is a ton of fun.

[OldGeezer]

God that Hi Gain tone is bad ass on that guitar and your AxeFx setup or whatever cool thing you're playing thru brother. Thank you for enriching my life with all these great video's and killer guitar sounds! Love it..
That pedal sounds great too! Styman is like Eventide in that it seems everything they make sounds great!

[BobGuido]

As usual, same pedal as other YouTubers, and yet I can hear far more easily what the pedal sounds like when you play and adjust the parameters.

It seems that most YouTubers don't really spend the time to get to know the piece of gear well enough to showcase the best of what it can do. You hit on the sweet spots here Leon. This is the best demo of this pedal online.

[johnfritzenjr.]

Definitely the best demo of this I’ve heard. Thanks

[miniblackhole]

Thank you for playing this with serious dirt! Really wanted to hear that, and it sounds great - mine is on the way.

[alanthorne]

Bought one recently.Still wading through all the sounds and textures I can get both acoustic and electric.Amazing pedal.

[Bee_Rye_]

I know those face expressions around 9:00-9:45… aural bliss! I listen to mainly heavy music but I also dabble into those phaserwave airy synth pad parts are so satisfying…!

Love your content man! You review of the Strymon DIG helped me pull the trigger a few years ago… and now I’m about to open up my wallet again.

[coalfacechris]

Thanks Stu. Sounds great. Paging Italo DeAngelis, Leon? Would have loved to hear you dial something on your Lexicon for a comparison.

[tristanseume]

Great work, as ever, Leon! Just picked up one of these for acoustic playing. Super-inspiring! I wonder what Strymon will bring out in this form factor next - I can see a market for a delay with that little switch selecting tape, digital and analog. And maybe another mini-Zelzah/Ola/Lex type modulation thing! Oh, and how about a mini-compressor - that'd be super-handy :)

[ajcajc]

Yeay!! Leon brings the filth to a pedal everyone else avoids, seriously the best filthy tone on YT are on this channel, will go & try it now, thanks Leon.

[ShreddingFinn]

Only one I own is the Iridium, more than happy with the effects from the Stomp. I even use HX cabs instead of Iridium IRs now

[synthkatt]

its like a cross between vai and eric johnsons venus isle tones

[JTB--]

Great Demo. Cloudburst is one of the coolest pedals I've bought in a while. Works really nice with an Acoustic Guitar too.

[heavybrett-al]

Wow! You got some cool ambience with those volume swells...I only know cheap reverb pedals, but I assume you'd be getting quality with a Strymon pedal, I've seen people swear buy there products. Sounds awesome to me.oh and when you got the Strat out..💥☀️🙃
