Riverside is the culmination of a thorough analysis of numerous analog and vacuum tube circuits. Strymon’s goal? To deliver a new world of harmonically rich, incredibly versatile, tube-inspired drive sounds. They didnt want to build just another distortion or overdrive. They knew they must examine what has been done, and bring a new approach to the world of drive sounds.

Riversides cascading gain stages create harmonically rich tones that are immensely musical and naturalfrom silky clean overdrive to colossal distortion, and all points between. Their analog JFET front-end ensures that Riverside responds to your guitar with uncompromised dynamics and feel. The precision crafted DSP generates dynamic complexity and pleasing harmonics at every stage, letting your amp shine at any gain level. Riverside takes your amp to places you never knew it could go.

Riversides 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.

Your amp choice has a large influence on the sound of any drive pedal connected to it. Riversides musical 3-band EQ, with independent Bass, Middle and Treble knobs, is designed to complement your amps tone with the flexibility needed to dial in your sound effectively and efficiently. The three-position Presence switch tailors the highest frequencies, allowing Riverside to integrate perfectly with any amp or setup, no matter how dark or bright.
