Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous analogue and vacuum tube circuits. Strymon's goal? To deliver a new world of harmonically rich, incredibly versatile, tube-inspired drive sounds. Strymon didn’t want to build just another distortion or overdrive. Strymon knew they must examine what has been done, and bring a new approach to the world of drive sounds.
Features: • Custom cascading multistage distortion topology provides a wide range of tube-inspired drive tones • Digitally controlled analogue class A JFET input gain stage maximizes headroom while adding up to 20dB of pure analogue gain • Precision-crafted DSP gain stages provide detailed complexity and responsiveness • Low gain channel for smooth classic overdrive • High gain channel for modern saturated distortion • 3-band EQ with independent Bass, Middle and Treble controls • Selectable post-analogue 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 • High-impedance mono input • Mono output • Favourite footswitch to save a favourite setting • Favourite Input to connect an external MiniSwitch to recall a Favorite preset • Expression pedal input allows the connection an expression pedal for simultan
