The Cirrus Shadow is a delay and reverb pedal from KMA Audio Machines, combining both effects in one box with three different delay and reverb modes. The version covered here is a limited finish, restricted to 150 pedals worldwide, and KMA lists it at US $229.99 / £179 / €199.1
What it does
The Cirrus Shadow puts delay and reverb side by side, and KMA built it so the two can work in either order: the order of the effects can be changed for enhanced versatility, which matters to players who want echoes feeding into the reverb, or the other way round. MusicRadar's report on the pedal counted "three different delay and reverb modes here", giving a range of delay and space settings from one set of controls.1
For timing, there is an onboard tap tempo switch, and an onboard FX loop lets a player insert other pedals into the effect chain.1
The finish KMA announced in July 2023 was limited to 150 pedals worldwide, so that version is a fixed run rather than an open-ended product.1

MusicRadar reported that the moody new finish of the Cirrus Shadow was limited to 150 pedals worldwide. The pedal was announced on 5 July 2023 as the start of KMA Audio Machines' 10th anniversary celebrations, so once those 150 units were gone, the finish was no longer available.
What does the Cirrus Shadow do?
It is a delay and reverb pedal offering three different delay and reverb modes. KMA also gave it an onboard FX loop and tap tempo, and the order of the delay and reverb effects can be changed for enhanced versatility, so a player can decide whether the repeat or the space comes first in the chain.
