Strymon Riverside

Strymon Riverside

Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous analog and vacuum tube circuits. Riverside’s cascading gain stages create harmonically rich tones that are immensely musical and natural—from silky clean overdrive to colossal distortion, and all points between. Riverside’s continuously variable circuit tuning dynamically tweaks multiple parameters under the hood so that the sweet spot follows you at any gain setting. As you turn the Drive knob, Riverside makes continuous adjustments, tuning the circuit for optimum tone. This results in an incredibly versatile drive pedal that is equally capable of providing sparking cleans, mild overdrives, high-gain leads, and heavy saturated distortions.

Features:

• Custom cascading multistage distortion topology provides a wide range of tube-inspired drive tones
• Digitally controlled analog class A JFET input gain stage maximizes headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analog gain
• Precision crafted DSP gain stages provide detailed complexity and responsiveness

• High gain channel for modern saturated distortion
• 3-band EQ with independent Bass, Middle and Treble controls
• Selectable post-analog gain mid-band EQ push
• Presence switch to tailor the sound for use with all amplifiers from dark to bright
• Optional variable-threshold noise reduction helps tame noisy guitar pickups
