Use Nimbus with Stratus or other pedals
By Landon McCoy · Updated September 10, 2026
You can plan a rig with external pedals feeding Nimbus while using the same Chaos Audio effects and presets across Stratus and Nimbus.
Nimbus production preview. This guide describes the current announced design. Nimbus is available for preorder; final hardware details and operating instructions may change before shipment.
A simple audio path
Instrument → external pedal(s) → Nimbus input. Start with low levels and add one pedal at a time. If you use Stratus before Nimbus, avoid unintentionally stacking two amp/cabinet stages.

Shared library, separate devices
Sign into the same account to access your sounds. Each device still needs its own effect installation and preset sync. Sharing software features does not turn Stratus’s mono output into Nimbus’s expanded I/O.
Power is a separate connection
Before powering Stratus or another pedal from Nimbus, check the final pedal-power output specifications against that pedal’s requirements. See Nimbus power and Stratus power requirements.
