Strymon announced on November 10, 2023 that it had released firmware updates for the Cloudburst, Iridium, Deco V2, DIG V2, El Capistan V2, Flint V2 and Lex V2 pedals, addressing what the company described as minor issues and adding requested new features¹.

The updates are installed with Strymon Update, downloaded from the company's support page, with pedals connected over their onboard USB-C connection¹. Strymon also said a new version of its Nixie software had gone live that "will eventually work with all of our V2 pedals," and that it currently supports Cloudburst, Iridium, TimeLine, BigSky and Mobius¹.

The changes differ by pedal. On the Cloudburst, Strymon added a secondary function for adjusting the level of the mp ENSEMBLE setting, MIDI CC# 17 for that level, and a CUSTOM MODE with MultiSwitch Plus giving combined access to PRESET 1, PRESET 2 and FREEZE/INFINITE¹. The Iridium received a LIVE EDIT feature called AMP DISABLE for individual presets, CC# 21 for it, and a LEVEL TRIM setting that now saves through power cycles; Strymon also corrected issues that could cause unexpected output level changes and MultiSwitch Plus LED behavior¹.

The Deco V2, DIG V2, El Capistan V2, Flint V2 and Lex V2 each received MIDI CC# 25 for Clock Division¹. Fixes include the Deco V2 no longer producing a loud volume burst when the SATURATION knob is swept from maximum to minimum, DIG V2 PING PONG mode now functioning like the V1 DIG, and a loud beep when clearing a recorded SOS loop with the TAP switch on the El Capistan V2 resolved¹. The Flint V2 no longer locks up with MultiSwitch Plus in PRESET Mode, and the Lex V2 gained a Digital Bypass Mode¹.

Strymon directed users to each pedal's user manual, found on its product support pages, for instructions on the new functionality¹.
