KMA Audio Machines announced a new version of its Cirrus Shadow Special-Temporal Modifier delay and reverb pedal in a limited finish on July 5, 2023, as the start of its 10th anniversary celebrations¹. The German company said it will mark the anniversary this year with special editions, new launches and giveaways¹.

The new finish is limited to 150 pedals worldwide¹. The pedal carries three different delay and reverb modes, and the order of the effects can be changed¹. It also has an onboard FX loop and tap tempo¹.

The Cirrus was first announced in September 2019 as a two-sided digital delay and reverb pedal². Guitar World reported at the time that it was the company's first fully digital effect pedal³. Its delay modes are Modulated Delay (MOD), Sample & Hold (S/H) and an octave mode (OCT) that blends in a high octave as notes decay; the reverb side offers a modulated mode plus low-pass and high-pass filter modes³. All modes have a sensitivity control that lets picking attack alter the effect³. A toggle switch labeled Order reverses the effects, and a second toggle sets the delay tap subdivision². The Tap footswitch handles tap tempo, and holding it maxes out the repeats for infinite echoes². The Engage footswitch bypasses the pedal, and holding it down maxes out the decay². There is also an expression pedal input with a selector switch for the controlled parameter².

The KMA Machines Cirrus Shadow is US $229.99¹. The 2019 announcement listed a US price of $229².
