Strymon introduced the Midnight Edition Cloudburst, a black version of its Cloudburst ambient reverb, on March 25, 2023¹. The maker describes it as a limited run in its Midnight finish, with black knobs and a blacked out enclosure².

The pedal is the Cloudburst, which Strymon calls an ambient reverb². The maker says it is "Powered by our acclaimed Cloud algorithm and new Ensemble engine" and covers "everything from intimate natural spaces to massive harmonically rich walls of sound available at the twist of a knob"². Gearnews, reporting the launch, lists the visible controls as Decay, Mix, Pre-Delay, Tone and Mod, plus a three-position toggle switch labeled Ensemble¹. It also notes three connections on the top, which it says may be input, output and possibly a TRS effects loop, stereo out or an expression, CV or MIDI connection¹.

Strymon says the Midnight batches "have always been limited to a small number of units, intended for the player that loves the idea of a monochromatic pedalboard"². The maker gives no unit count.

Gearnews lists the Midnight Edition at $298.00 through Thomann and the standard Cloudburst at $259.00¹. Strymon's page gives no price for the Midnight Edition². The standard Cloudburst is listed on the reverb pedals page.
